NINTH ANNIVERSARY PARTY AND ANNUAL MEETING!

Fellow Guild Members and friends,

Friday September 12TH, 2008 marks the start of our ninth year as the area's premiere gaming organization! We will be holding our Anniversary Party and Annual Meeting that night from 7PM until 12AM at the Unitarian Church on Troy Avenue in Lakeland.

Along with a quick recap of the previous year, we will highlight the coming year's events, discuss plans and projects for the near future, briefly look ahead to Year Ten and have some food and light gaming. (And we also will handle that pesky membership renewal business!)

I am looking forward to seeing everyone, espcially those of you who normally can't make it out on a regular basis. Please respond to the message board thread with your plans to attend so we can make proper arrangements for food and drink.

Peace, respects and good gaming to you all!

Scott M. Presley
Guild Master

Location Notice

This is simply a reminder post that the August 8th meeting will be taking place at the Unitarian Church in Lakeland. Check beneath the Calendar for the address. The calendar will be updated and corrected as soon as possible. Your Guild Mage apologizes for the inconvenience and any confusion that this has caused.

This meeting will feature another installment of Interstellar Overdrive, though, as always, members are more than welcome to bring other games to run/play or use the location as a meeting place for their own tables.

Thanks in advance to everyone who can make it. The Guild looks forward to seeing you there.

Voting for the Ennie's now Re-Open!!!

Welcome to the ENnie Awards.

The Gen Con EN World RPG Awards (the "ENnies") are an annual fan-based celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying gaming. The ENnies give game designers, writers and artists the recognition they deserve. It is a peoples' choice award, and the final winners are voted upon by the gaming public at EN World.

The ENnies were created in 2001 as an annual award ceremony, hosted by the leading D&D/d20 system fan site, EN World in partnership with Eric Noah's Unofficial D&D 3rd Edition News. Since they were originally conceived the ENnies have expanded from an Internet-based awards selection to an annual award ceremony at Gen Con Indy. The ENnies have also branched out from their roots as an award ceremony focused upon d20 system publishers and products to celebrate the achievements of all tabletop RPGs and the publishers and products that support them.

With award categories recognizing the components that make a game great to the types of products fans have come to love, categories for fan-based websites and much more, the ENnies are the best way for fans to acknowledge outstanding effort from and to say "thank you" to the publishers, designers and artists who make this hobby great.

The Guild Mage (Ralph on the Forums) recommends checking out and maybe even voting on the Ennie's simply to see who is nominate. The Ennie's are a great chance to check out the best of products you may never have heard of.
