Have finally gotten around to uploading the AGM minutes for those who are interested in seeing them. They make enough sense to piece together what happened, but if you truly want the full experience, you should have been there. The jokes that were told, the fun that was had. Ah, good times, good times.
Though, I guess, if you have a time machine, you could go back and experience it all over again if you want.

For those of you who weren’t at our Annual General Meeting this Tuesday, here’s the big results:
The 2011 SAGA Committee will consist of:
It was great to see so many people wanting to make a difference to the club – four of the five roles were contested, with five people being nominated for the role of Quartermaster.
The role of Publications Officer is now Promotions officer, and holds responsibility over the three areas of publications, advertising, and social resources (website etc.).
The date for Buckets of Dice 2011 has been formally announced to the club as Queen’s Birthday weekend (June 4-6). The venue will probably be the UCSA building, but nothing regarding venue or running times has been confirmed yet.

Hello, everyone! Just in time to liven up your September, SAGA Inc. is announcing a reprise of Minicon, entitled (imaginatively enough) Minicon 2.
Minicon 2 will happen on the weekend of September 4-5 in the UCSA Ballroom. Registration is not required if you do not plan to run an event, and entry will be $5 once again. That’s one third the price of a movie ticket, for a whole weekend’s entertainment!
More information can be found on the relevant page. Hope to see you there!

The shopkeeper from Back East? His wife isn’t really his wife. He’s the procurer and she’s the available woman. Their marriage is a front.
Your brother’s son, your nephew, is fourteen years old. He’s been stealing money from his father, your brother, and taking it to visit this woman.
Your brother is in a bitter rage, humiliated by his son’s thievery and grieving his son’s lost innocence. He’s going to shoot her.
What do you do? (more…)

And I finally get around to writing up a post about Buckets of Dice. Please note that this is coloured by the events I was in.

Hey guys! Buckets of Dice 2010 was a blast – thanks everyone for attending.
Unfortunately, I’m pretty snowed under right now, so the full report will have to wait a bit.
Got something you want to share with the club? Had a particularly excellent game? Email it to me and I’ll put it up here with my report. Who knows? You may even see it in our next Out of Character!

If you checked today’s Press weekend pull-out, Your Weekend, you’ll notice there’s a nice big article on board gaming in there, in which SAGA features quite prominently. So, congratulations, everyone! We’re famous!
If you’ve come here from the article, then welcome to SAGA!

The original intent of ASoCE was to get new people to GM, or to get experienced GMs to experiment. So when I’d found that most of my time this year had been taken up with a rather standard game of [Diaspora][diaspora] (not that there’s anything wrong with Diaspora) I thought I’d better turn things up a notch.
