Saturday May 18
The SGU has A03, the Class of '52 Room, from 2PM until 2AM Sunday morning. Open boardgaming is planned; anyone wanting to GM a roleplaying game, please announce it! (Or just show up.)
THIS DAY IN HISTORY:
539th anniversary of the birth of Isabella d'Este
861st anniversary of Eleanor of Aquitaine's 2nd marriage
221st anniversary of the signing of the Buttonwood Agreement
So Queen's Necklace is an obvious choice given those queens; maybe Kingmaker too?
Buttonwood suggests a game involving stocks -- 1830, anyone?
Bring your own favorite game!

GAMES
Boardgames: Our open boardgaming events frequently involve short, quick-to-learn, quick-to-play games. However, periodically alumnus Shantanu Saha comes down to help people learn long, complex, challenging games such as Avalon Hill's "Civilization" or Mayfair's "18xx" series of rail games.Roleplaying Games:
Robert West frequently runs World of Rachlem, a fantasy role-playing campaign using the PrinceCon rule system the SGU has developed for its annual roleplaying convention. The PrinceCon system is an Open Game License game closely related to D&D3.5.
For more than 30 years, the Princeton Simulation Games Union (often referred to as the SGU) has been meeting weekly to play board games, role-playing games, card games and more. Members include Princeton University students, alumni, faculty, staff and enthusiastic gamers from the local community.
Meetings and special events are also announced on our mailing list. Email Aaron Mulder to subscribe or unsubscribe.
