<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">In a way it doesn't matter to me much, I can turn up and be in a game, but I'm sure the GMs will appreciate working out which game IS going to run on the 15th!?</SPAN></div>

OK, make<BR>that over a year. But there's nothing like a new year to get things
going.<BR>It's almost like a resolution or something! Anyway, here's a month's worth<BR>of activities and more.<BR><BR><BR>Saturday January 7 : Star Voyager at ACMI : Exploring space on screen<BR>---------------------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>A very sound suggestion by Karl and Liz!<BR><BR>Journey through the fact and fiction of space exploration from Fritz Lang<BR>to the moon landing, to Star Trek and Total Recall.<BR><BR>ACMI presents the world premiere of Star Voyager: Exploring Space on<BR>Screen, a major exhibition charting the history and future of<BR>space exploration as experienced through the moving image.<BR><BR>From early films by Fritz Lang and Georges Méliès, through to footage of<BR>the 1969 moon landing and recent films such as the Alien series, Moon and<BR>Sunshine, the moving image has allowed us to experience what most of us<BR>can only dream of.<BR><BR>Combining scientific and documentary
footage with feature films and video<BR>artwork, the Star Voyager exhibition celebrates an enduring fascination<BR>with space travel through the imaginations of artists,<BR>scientists and astronauts.<BR><BR>Enjoy a rare opportunity to see real NASA artefacts used in space plus<BR>film production materials, including costumes from Star Trek, AustinPowers<BR>and Total Recall.<BR><BR>The exhibition also features an exciting new work, developed here in <BR>Melbourne, allowing visitors to explore the surface of Mars in 3D.<BR><BR>Meet at the ACMI Lounge at 11 am for 15min then will proceed to the exhibit.<BR><BR>ACMI Federation Square, Flinders Street, Melbourne<BR>Full Price $16.50 Concession $12<BR><BR><BR>Sunday January 8th and January 22nd : Pathfinder Planescape and Dark Heresy<BR>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR><BR>Two of our very successful mainstay games are both run by relative<BR>newcomers at the
CoG, Felix and Redmond respectively. Hooray!<BR><BR>For those unfamiliar, Planescape is the setting for the numerous planes of<BR>existence in the D&D cosmology. In this particular setting the PCs have<BR>soul gems which makes them unkillable in a sense, but also with some<BR>additional quirks.<BR><BR>Dark Heresy is a gothic science fantasy game of Acolytes working for an<BR>Inquisitor persecuting heretics and mutants. The worst heretics and<BR>mutants of all are, of course, those that you find within.<BR><BR>Mailing list for Pathfinder Planescape:<BR><A href="http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/planescape_rpgreview.net" target=_blank>http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/planescape_rpgreview.net</A><BR>Mailing list for Dark Heresy: Coming soon!<BR><BR>Sunday January 15th and January 29th: Diaspora<BR>----------------------------------------------<BR><BR>Diaspora combines hard science fiction with the narrativist FATE game<BR>system. Karl has been
running this very interesting scenario where the PCs<BR>engage in subterfuge with and against each other in equal amounts as<BR>respective solar systems conflict in technology, ideology and commerce.<BR><BR>Webpage for Diaspora: <A href="http://mimesisrpg.com/diaspora" target=_blank>http://mimesisrpg.com/diaspora</A><BR>Mailing list for Diaspora:<BR><A href="http://mimesisrpg.com/mailman/listinfo/diaspora_mimesisrpg.com" target=_blank>http://mimesisrpg.com/mailman/listinfo/diaspora_mimesisrpg.com</A><BR><BR>2pm, 110 Grey Street, East Melbourne<BR><BR><BR>Current Date Unknown: GURPS Korea<BR>---------------------------------<BR><BR>Over the New Year's break Michael ran a couple of excellent sessions of<BR>GURPS Korea. Well, it's more like GURPS Koreans lost in China as the Han<BR>Empire falls apart, but that's another matter. Point being that there is a<BR>game, but without a definite time - as yet. Give Michael a "An nyoung" if<BR>you want to join
in.<BR><BR>Mailing List for GURPS Korean:<BR><A href="http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/gurps-korea_rpgreview.net" target=_blank>http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/gurps-korea_rpgreview.net</A><BR><BR>Current Date Unknown: RPG Review 13 and 14<BR>------------------------------------------<BR><BR>The next issue of RPG Review, a double issue concentrating (but not<BR>exclusively) on a range of d20-related games and products is coming very<BR>soon. A substantial delay has occurred whilst waiting for a short set of<BR>interview questions to arrive - which were never completed even after<BR>months. I am unlikely to say anything particulary kind about said<BR>publisher for a while as a result.<BR><BR>There is still room for last-minute submissions; background stories for<BR>campaigns, scenarios, reviews, anything of the sort. You can download back<BR>issues as well, all located at:<BR><BR><A href="http://rpgreview.net/"

It helps justify our<BR>presence and existence at said building :)<BR><BR>Membership is $5.50 per annum and forms will be available at CoG gatherings.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Churchofgaming mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Churchofgaming@rpgreview.net" ymailto="mailto:Churchofgaming@rpgreview.net">Churchofgaming@rpgreview.net</A><BR><A href="http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/churchofgaming_rpgreview.net" target=_blank>http://rpgreview.net/mailman/listinfo/churchofgaming_rpgreview.net</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></div></div></body></html>
