What is this thing, you ask?

Well, it's Hampshire's semesterly roleplaying tournament, also Excalibur's biggest event. 130 people playing in a pen-and-paper role-playing game!

If you've never been, it's easy! (We use an über-simplified D20 system, in case you were wondering.) We'll teach you how to play. You need only a pencil and a competitive spirit... ("Creative morality" and a sense of humor help, too.)

There can be only one survivor...but there are dead games, snacks, movie screenings, board games and more for when you're eliminated, and lots of prizes will be awarded at the end if you do something impressive. (Some of the recurring prizes, like the Permanent Resident Award, or the Ultimate Badass Award, are largely self-explanatory; others, like the Benjamin Scott Hopkins Award For Creative Morality and the Alexander Holmes Cooley Award for Leadership, have stories behind them.)

Starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, March 7th, in FPH. Bring a pencil (and dice if you have them). We usually run till around 2am, but if you die early, you can always leave.

Everyone is welcome.
