CORPSE R.I.P. Wait, is that redundant?
CORPSE is now FTaGN!
The Carolina Otaku Role-Playing Society of Evil is no more.
All hail the Carolina Friendly Tabletop Gaming Network!
Game Night now held in 219 New West, every Saturday starting at
7pm
The UNC gaming club is once again an official campus organization! It has
been ressurected as FTaGN, the Friendly Tabletop Gaming Network, thus
continuing the tradition of placing too mcuh emphasis on a finding a
suitably goofy acronym to use when choosing just the right name for our
fair organization.
The big change is that we are now able to reserve a room instead of
hoping the Student Union lounge is available. Game Night is
now held in 219 New West starting at 7pm and going until the wee
hours.
There is also a new listserv, ftagn@listserv.unc.edu. If you want to join
the listserv, the easiest way to do it is to just send an email to
listmanager@listserv.unc.edu with a blank subject line and 'subscribe
ftagn' in the body (no quotation marks). That should be all it takes.
Optionally, if you want to subscribe in your browser you can go to
listserv.unc.edu, type 'ftagn' in the box in the middle of the page, and
click visit. On the new page, click about, and then click the subscribe
button.
Aside from that, FTaGN is the same club CORPSE was, with plenty of
friendly folks looking forward to playing board games every Saturday
night. I've kept the old descriptions of CORPSE below for the time being.
Just mentally substitute "FTaGN".
The new FTaGN website is under construction. You can check it out here.
Ie! Ie! Carolina FTaGN Game Night!
The Carolina Otaku Role-Playing Society of Evil was dedicated to all forms
of gaming, including board games, card games (collectable or otherwise),
role-playing games, video games, and more. It was also dedicated to
Evil.
So, what sort of games do y'all play?
Settlers of Catan, Agricola, Puerto Rico, Illuminati, Bang (Mancato!),
Arkham Horror, Munchkin, Ticket To Ride, Dungeons and Dragons, World of
Darkness, Champions, Cosmic Encounter, Carcassonne, Descent, Race for the
Galaxy, Chez Geek, Princes of Florence, H.O.L., Hackmaster, Call of
Cthulhu, Uno, Apples to Apples, Super Smash Brothers, Soul Calibur,
Hungry Hungry Hippos, I'm The Boss!, Zendo, and anything else we can get
our hands on.
Game Night
CORPSE gets together in room 3501 of the new Student Union every Saturday
night from 7pm (well...theoretically; folks usually drift in around
then, but occasionally won't show up until 7:30 or later; if you walk in
and no one's around, sit tight and gamers will arrive in short order)
until the wee hours of the morning to play games. On the off-chance
someone is using room 3501, we can be found in several back-up locations,
generally either the Cabaret lounge area in the basement of the Student
Union or the ground floors of either Murphy Hall or Bingham Hall. Here is a map to 3501 Student Union, here is a
detail map, and you can find
driving directions
here.
The Mailing List
CORPSE maintains a mailing list where players
can organize, inquire about, or browbeat someone into running a
role-playing campaign, demand an Emergency Game Night session when
Saturday night is just too far away, and chat about games or anything
else that comes to mind. Go
here to subscribe to the CORPSE mailing list. Traffic is generally
rather low, so no need to worry about your mailbox being hammered with
CORPSE messages.
The Guild
CORPSE maintains a guild at Board Game Geek. Among other
things, the guild page allows you to view the profiles of other CORPSE
members and see what games they own, so you can request that certain games
make an appearance at Game Night. Check it out!
History
CORPSE was founded in early 2002 as a spin-off of the Carolina Otaku Uprising (thus the goofy
name in service of a goofier acronym). Folks who liked to get together
and watch Japanese cartoons also liked to get together and play games,
generating enough interest on the COUP mailing list to inspire the
creation of a seperate organization dedicated to gaming. Since that time,
the phrase "game night" has become synonymous with pure, unadulturated
Evil.
Constitution
Here is the club constitution, such as it is,
in Microsoft Word format.
Cerebral Hobbies, R.I.P. Thanks for everything, Steve!
'Nuff said - it's time to game!
