• If you plan on GMing a game be sure to have pre-generated characters on hand for the players, so you don't take up all that time generating the characters during your session. If there are special requirements for your game please let me know as well, and we'll post that along with the game summary.
• Be Aware that we can have more games than there are sessions, since we have tables in the atrium for games as well as the ability to setup tables in 105. So don't fret too much if you do see that the session you wanted is already taken.

Attacking would mean NO PHYSICAL contact but pretend to hit of some sort and weapons approved by GM and Con rules. Summoning would be approved by Gm, which another person could jump in and do a special attack, running would be lose/retreat with the audience at a safe distance.
