• There will be a follow-up social and newbie tournament later in the week (to be organised with new players on the day).

Prize support for 2011 has already been purchased and the baron's black briefcase is relatively full once more. Next year will include re-running both the Cultist and Imperator storyline events since they were quite popular (and I've bought the cards). Tournaments will resume some time in February, so we all have until then to plot and scheme and play social games.

I'll be running demo games for new players during UCT's orientation week, following much the same formula as the demo games at Dragonfire.

Happy hunting!
