Church of Gaming, November 2009 Newsletter, Issue 13
=====================================================
        
Introduction
============

Well, we're now up to the 13th issue of the newsletter.. Keeping you all
up-to-date with our activities.        
        
Gaming at CoG at the past month has been - as will continue - with GURPS
Krononauts and RuneQuest Rhythm of the Heat albeit with a brief journey
into the realms of the grand Napoleonic wargame "War and
Peace" ("there's not much peace", remarked Jay).
        
Gaming Timetable
================

GURPS Krononauts
----------------

Currently sent to Dog Island in the middle of the current North Sea at
30,000 BCE... Looking at a heard of mammoth behaving in a most unusual
fashion.. Finding another group of time-travellers who must also be up
to no good..

Sessions on November 1st, 15th and 29th

        
RuneQuest Rhythm of the Heat 
----------------------------

Having acquired another Torch of Yelamlio the party heads north into the
worst land imaginable for such people - towards that of the Trolls. The
acquisition of such artifacts has come with such a terrible cost
however; with most of the party - including shaman and rune priests -
having lost much of their POWer. Can they succeed in this quest without
such magical influence in a magic-rich world?
