3/13: *****PRINCECON 35******* We will not be having a regular meeting during the first weekend of Spring Break, because we will instead be reserving multiple rooms on campus for PrinceCon, our annual roleplaying convention. This shared-world convention enables characters to progress throughout the weekend, and travel from any GM's scenario to any other. Registration opens at 3PM Friday March 12 2010, first expeditions go out at 5PM Friday, final expeditions return 3 PM Sunday. At 4PM Sunday we will begin an awards ceremony giving out certificates for best strategy, tactics, roleplaying, and overall play. PRINCECON REGISTRATION IS FREE TO ALL PRINCETON STUDENTS.

Regular or Ongoing Activities
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:
Eversky (D&D4e, GM Daniel Perez). Runs most weekends.
Worldlines (Hero System 5e, GM York Dobyns). Runs about every other weekend on average: York has a heavy travel schedule.
GM Aaron Mulder expects to start a science-fiction RPG using the Savage Worlds system Very Soon Now. No name has been announced.
GM Robert West expects to start a fantasy RPG using the PrinceCon system Very Soon Now. No name has been announced.
