[Churchofgaming] The CoG : The Church of Gaming Newsletter, June 2012

[karl at rpgreview.net]

Hi all,
Due to too much work I'm going to have to cancel Diaspora agian. I'm  
reaaly sorry about this especially since we are only a couple of  
sessions from the end of this advenuture.
Also, I will not be able to make the 15th  July session as I have The  
Tea Party the night before and the Run Melbourne 10km that morning so  
something has got to give.

With apologies
K
