As far as i know we've planned nothing meeting wise.... though 90% of folks are here so it maybe a good idea to plan that for the upcoming weekend.
I'd gladdy host such a prestigious event.

Okay so can we send out an email to all dms requesting their presence next week sometime then? I feel like we could benefit greatly from having the meeting early, as this year there is more apparent coordination and because we have three people with ideas already that we want to share and work upon. I have classes from 4 to 6:30 so I'm really free this semester, so yah anything where we aren't going into that period. Also Brent and Colin are we on for tomorrow around five? Student center, meet in front of the pizza pizza? EDIT: or better yet meet at the half table we have and just discuss near there.
Also thank you Q you guys are clearly better prepared than us.

Nah there prez is just better ;p
Really though, we are a few execs short this year and need to fill those roles so we can get going at full speed. No VP Magic or social and that'll hurt us. Plus, still no one for boardgames. That needs to be fixed.

Being a DM:
DM meetings: Sundays before the game. The purpose of these meetings will be to discuss planned missions and what has happened in the past. People who show up to these will be rewarded with in-world power.
Game Days and Times: Same as last year ("6:00" Wednesday, "5:00" Sunday)
Character Building sessions? Next week Wednesday at 6:00 and Sunday at 2:00. No big speech. Potentially divvy up newbies with DMs based on archetypes.
System Fundamentals Storytelling focus - Territorial division: John - Elves: Run by noble houses (House Royal, House Sorcerer, House Grey, House Plains, House Sylvan, and House Deposed). In the past they had an uneasy truce with the Drow, but the war disrupted that peace and the Elves committed atrocities to force the Drow underground. At the same time the deposed of the current king and House Royal came to power. Then because of the atrocities they cursed themselves to forget the war, but the curse was more powerful than they planned, causing them to forget far more. The only people who remember the existence of the Drow are the House Deposed. The House D contacts the Drow to help get ride of the king, and that sets up the initial conflict. Colin - Humans: There is a league of Trium that is formed of city states (much like Greece) that is being attacked by a foreign kingdom of -IHaveNoIdeaHowToSpellIt- (which is like the mongols) which sets up the biggest conflict in the area. There are also intercity conflicts and a slave uprising. Brent - Dwarves: There are strong and mean Dwarves to the north and weaker and kinder Dwarves to the south. There is some mythos behind this involving demi-god Dwarves and betrayal and one of the demi-gods is still worshiped as he is believed to be trapped in a mountain in the north. There is also a blight on the northern lands that is forcing the Dwarves to move south and rely on the more agricultural Dwarves that are in the south. Dane - Neutral City: There is a large mobile faction of Haflings in the city. There are house spirits which are essentially outsiders that inhabit a house and change based on external factors. There is a council of twelve that runs missions, has agendas and generally runs all the shit. DMs NPCs get council seats for players successfully completing missions for them and showing up to DM meetings. There is also a little finger character who secretly does things in the background who DMs are not allowed to **** with.
World mechanics: City alignment and settlement rules, missions (council), consequences. Travel via portals as described by Nygil. One week per mission unless otherwise specified during a DM meeting.
Money, Loot: Salary pay, item buyback at 100%, No item loot for mission except in exceptionable successes, Death and resurrection: Death is permanent, but there are tokens the guild gives out for resurrection, no penalty for it, and tokens are given out as rewards (specific missions will have them as rewards explicitly), and they can be traded or "loaned". re-rolling: Allowed freely, deal with abuse by ear. late arrivals/early departures: Teleports in! Divvying up players to DMs: DMs pick their groups with help from the players. "Karma System" (Flavorful rewards for ideal PCs): Exists, Hero points rolled into the system, details to come.
Allowed list and Characters Allowed Races: All ARG but Svirfeblin, Merfolk and Strix. No monster races. Feats/traits: All but item creation, hero, faction, and leadership. 2 Traits no location or event traits. Hero points: See karma system. Classes/Archetypes: All first party. Multiclassing: Free to do as you please Point Buy: 15 Favored Class Bonuses: All fine Starting Wealth: 3000
