> The CoG : The Church of Gaming Newsletter, February 2012
> =========================================================
>
> Two newsletters in two months. This is clearly a strange habit that should
> be continued.
>
>
> Sunday February 5th and February 19th : Pathfinder Planescape and Dark Heresy
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Felix (Pathfinder) and Redmond (Dark Heresy) continue their awesome games
> on these days.
>
> For those unfamiliar, Planescape is the setting for the numerous planes of
> existence in the D&D cosmology. In this particular setting the PCs have
> soul gems which makes them unkillable in a sense, but also with some
> additional quirks. Most recently the PCs stopped a freelanced for the city
> guard, shipment of adamantine, joined up with a group of scavanging
> plane-hoppers, and learned some secrets about dying without dying.
>
> Dark Heresy is a gothic science fantasy game of Acolytes working for an
> Inquisitor persecuting heretics and mutants. The worst heretics and
> mutants of all are, of course, those that you find within.
> We've been playing to the introductory adventure Illumination, to get the
> just-created characters hunting down heretics and mutants in the Imperium
> as fast as possible. Apparently there is more mutant alien heretic stories
> yet to come.

> Sunday February 12 and Sunday Febuary 26: Diaspora with GURPS Korea alternate
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Diaspora combines hard science fiction with the narrativist FATE game
> system. Karl has been running this very interesting scenario where the PCs
> engage in subterfuge with and against each other in equal amounts as
> respective solar systems conflict in technology, ideology and commerce.
> The recent salvage operation from a destroyed pirate ship and cruise liner
> is just a drop in this ocean of intrigue.
>
> Webpage for Diaspora: http://mimesisrpg.com/diaspora
> Mailing list for Diaspora:
> http://mimesisrpg.com/mailman/listinfo/diaspora_mimesisrpg.com
>
> GURPS Koreans lost in China as the Han Empire falls apart with barbarians
> to the north and the west, ghostly speculations and a pouty princess. If
> Karl can't run Diaspora due to other commitments, then Michael will step
> in with GURPS Korea
>
> Mailing List for GURPS Korea:
> http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/gurps-korea_rpgreview.net
>
> All these events are at 2pm, 110 Grey Street, East Melbourne
>
> Sherlock Holmes Double at the Astor Friday 17th Feb at 7.30pm
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
> As it says, the Astor is hosting a great double of Sherlock Holmes and
> Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Perfect billing for those who want a
> bit of investigative background suitable for say.. Call of Cthulhu.

> RPG Review 13 and 14
> ---------------------
>
> The double issue concentrating (but not exclusively) on a range of
> d20-related games and products has been released! It has *lots* of
> Pathfinder material (thank you Felix), a year with Fantasy Craft (thank
> you Karl) and a meta-review of D20 games (from moi - it's expected of me)
> - plus much more.
>
> http://rpgreview.net
>
> The next issue will be on Science Fiction games - which is a big hint for
> Dark Heresy, Diaspora, Traveller, Eclipse Phase, HELLAS etc.
