Pseudo Dragon is the AMERICA (Auckland Uni’ role playing and gaming club)’ publication, coming out every now and then. They’ve given LARPS the opportunity to be written about in the next issue, so we should take it.

Who’s keen!

[quote]Sounds good. If you write it, I’ll publish it.

G'day Rowena

Would you be keen to run an article on the new LARPS society?

    I would like to bring out another pseudo dragon before the end of the year. Now we've moved and all the stress of buying a house and packing is over I can think about it :slight_smile:

    As there isn't that much time left before uni ends, I need to get on to this straight away. So if anyone has anything they'd like to submit could you please contact me.

    Thanks

Sounds like a job for the publicity officer… oh wait, we dont have one… :slight_smile:

Maybe this is a secretary or (more likely) president’s job, then? hint, hint? :stuck_out_tongue:

Seriously, I have zero time, moving house, parents flying out, parents in law flying in, new baby, wife ill, etc etc not to mention trying to start on the constitution by the next meeting.

“Community Officer” covers publicity, according to the original writeup of the roles. But really whoever’s best placed is the best person. I reckon Craig’s email was pretty good and upbeat, maybe you could have a crack master Exquire?

I’d be happy to help with editing and so forth, if necessary.

I personally like Craig’s writing style eg Newsletter etc.
If you have time Craig it would be great, post it here and we can all have a look.
If not let me know I will have a go.
When do we need to get it done by?

#5

Hey thanks guys, and I’d love to do it. There’s a lot of stuff falling off my plate right now, though…

I’d like to send one back this or next week. Say, by 20 October.

Maybe get an “outside view” of the society? Steph and Cath are both excellent writers, they could give a neutral stance on it. Myabe get them to interview a committee member online and use the material produced so far as press releases?

#7

Steph has agreed to write it, depending on when the dead line is.
Craig can you ask Rowena when she needs it by, and e-mail her e-mail address to Steph.

#8

I’ve been asked to provide this “as soon as possible”. A week would be ok, but we want to establish a choice relationship with AMERICA, so sooner is better.

#9

Yes, I can write it, a week will be enough time, just not tonight as I’ve just finished writing a 2,700 word essay on The Faerie Queene and my head is spinning with lions, armour, veils and hideous nether regions.

Cheers,

Steph

Sorry, I’ve been pretty busy, with trying to get some kind of scenario for the BattleCry game, along with heavy overdoses of real life. Tried and failed to get in touch with our “Community Officer”… guess that means she’s out. Perhaps we will be able to elect a new one at the AGM on the 1st.

This one’s been and gone long ago, Rhiannon. I’ve got a funny feeling something did end up getting written and sent, but I can’t remember what it was for the life of me.
