Hi there folks, my name’s Jan-Yves Ruzicka. As well as being your President for this year I’m a Ph.D. in Chemistry, and spend my time in the Rutherford Building working out how to save the world. I’m a sucker for indie hippie narrativist games that I can run on a dime, and will be attempting to convert as many people as possible by running a pick-up game/rotating GM meta-campaign this year. When I’m not either doing Chemistry or gaming I tend to be creating things in whatever medium interests me at the time or being overdressed for the occasion.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Rose and I am your friendly neighbourhood money collector. This is my second year as treasurer and third year on the committee. I tend to run board games, and join in short campaigns. I have just started a teaching job at Hagley Community College. If you want to contact me on money related matters e-mail me at treasurer@saga.org.nz

The Secretary

Name: Mark

Hi, I’m Mark, the club secretary. I’m in charge of [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], as well as helping the club president organise things from time to time. I’m no longer at uni, so don’t expect to find me around campus. I can commonly be found [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] doing [REDACTED]. I may or may not be running a game this year, depending on [REDACTED] and how things work out. I’ll be around every Tuesday that I possibly can be, so I look forward to see faces old and new at SAGA in 2011.

Favourite game: The Silver Kiss of the Magical Twilight of the Full Moon.

Kane is new to the Quartermaster gig and hasn’t gotten the hang of replying to the Promotions Officer’s emails yet. One day, on a high school field trip to a local research laboratory, he was bitten by a radioactive Quartermaster, and gained the proportionate strength, speed and agility of a Quartermaster. He has been using his Quartermaster powers for good as the masked vigilante Quartermasterman ever since. Recently, the SAGA committee learned his secret identity and used this information to blackmail him into acting as our Quartermaster.

The Promotions Officer

Name: Melina Bourne

Favourite systems: FATE, New World of Darkness, Call of Cthulhu….

promotions@saga.org.nz

I am the Promotions Officer. I pretend to do things like run the website, write the club’s publication Out of Character, design and print fliers, and advertise the club as well as any events it may be running. In reality, the rest of the committee do all of this, and I take credit for it. It’s a good system. It works well for me.
