Lakeland Role Playing Guild now has a Blog!

This week the LRPG activated and is now posting to its very own Blog on Blogspot.com for the majority of members this may not make much of a difference, but to the officers who wish to post news and those that wish to be informed about upcoming events this will make all the difference as now we are working on adding an RSS News Feed to our homepage so that members and those who simply want to be kept informed on the latest gaming news effecting Lakeland's gaming community can be kept up to date.

Sword & Quill Vol-2

The second volume of the sword and Quill is now available under the program. If you like what you see, sign on to the forum and make sure to tell us what you liked and how much you liked it. Of course, if there is something you think it needs or, even better, something you'd like to contribute, feel free. We are always trying to improve the types of things the guild put out and always appreciate the your feedback.

Sword & Quill Calls for Submissions!

Please think about submissions to the Sword and Quill. I would like to have an issue for the December party. Here are some ideas: Synopsis, summary, or teaser for your home campaign or PbP campaign. Review of rpg game, board game, miniature game, card game or book. RPG jokes or quotes Original fiction, artwork, or photos. Article of interest to gamers, such as on a new rpg feature, an online game, some tool that could be used for gaming. Or anything else you can think of that has to do with gaming or fantasy/science fiction. I look forward to getting some new contributors!

Wear'em If You Got'em!

Those of you who are attending the second meeting in October and were puzzled about costumes, puzzle no longer. The Halloween meeting will be costume optional, so if you wish you can. We look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting.

Second Meeting Confirmed! (revised)

This month has the LRPG with two meetings. Both dates and locations have been confirmed. The first meeting is on the 12th and will be at the Carlton Arms South. The second meeting this month is on the 26th at the Carlton Arms South. Though the calendar has seen some updates and changes, the venues will stay the same. The first meeting this month will be character creation for AOL. The second meeting, our Halloween Party, is going to include plenty of horror themed gaming, candy, and maybe even some movie fun. For more information on these events and more make sure to check out the forum. (The address for both locations can be found on the calendar page.)

Second October Meeting seeing changes

Because the UU Church is already has an event scheduled for October 26th the guild is considering either changing the date or switching the locations, so that the October 12th meeting will be at the church & the 26th meeting will be at the Carlton Arms. Stay tuned to this site & the forum's for updates concerning this and other breaking news. . .

We Return From Hurricon

Many of the member's of the LRPG have just returned from this years Hurricon. Hurricon was as diversified this year as ever. While the core of Hurricon is historical miniatures gaming, it was also loaded to the brim with roleplaying, board games, and other miniature games of all sort. If there was a particular type of game that you felt the need to play or just try, then Hurricon is your chance. Though for those member's who didn't make it and are kicking themselves for missing out on all the gaming goodness, don't fret. Recon '08 is fast approaching. A slideshow showing only some of the games that were played at Hurricon '07 can be found on the special events page.

LRPG Approved!!!

Many of our current members, and some of our new, have probably heard that The Guild has been in negotiations with the Unitarian Church to receive permission to hold our events at their facilities. This afternoon Guild Officers met with the church board and were there to witness the proposal be met with unanimous approval to hold future LRPG functions at the church. When you next see Guild Officer Laura, please thank her for putting The Guild in contact with the church.

Contact US?!?!

It has been brought to the attention of 'The Mage' that the contact us link is inoperable. E-mails are sent, but actually go nowhere. This has been the cause of some embarrassment on the part of The Mage and for this he is most apologetic and expects to have the Contact Us link up and working quickly.

Now Available: The Sword & Quill

The LRPG's news letter is ready and available under the archive. This years Sword & Quill will have a breakdown of the new schedule, the new officer's, and plenty of gaming news goodness. We are attempting for the 8th year of The Guild to release an issue every 3 months. Also, we hope to soon make available all past issues of the Sword & Quill. Thanks & we look forward to your feedback on the forum concerning The Guild's publication.

Happy LRPG New Years!

The September meeting has just ended marking the end of seven years of gaming goodness and the beginning of a new year for The Lakeland Role Playing Guild. For those of you that joined us in celebrating another milestone at the Carlton Arms South, thank you. For those of you who attended, we are glad you enjoyed all of the food, drink, and entertainment. Oh and free stuff along the way. Giving away over $350 in gaming goodies!
