Fresher Campaigns

• Player form has gone up

• GM availiability form will go up this weekend We have received an informal complaint from a member regarding the fresher campaign form and the nature of fresher campaigns as a whole. The criticism is as follows:

  • The listing of systems without a context or blurb describing the system leads to a lower engagement with non-DnD systems
  • Unigames as a club should be encouraging the broadening of horizons of it's member base i.e. encouraging engagement in non-DnD systems.
  • Therefore, we should alter our fresher campaign form such that we have a blurb or description for freshers to encourage engagement with non-DnD systems

  Sheet Changes

  • Emerald: This exact criticism is valid and we should have a short description for te fresher campaign form.
  • Gibbi: Is concerned about implicitly promising systems
  • Emerald: Potentially axe in future
  • Jackie: Is also concerned about implicitly promsing systems
  • David: Submitting several options for systems that cant be run can be somewhat deceptive

  Fresher Campaign Philosophy

  • Emerald: Freshers want to play 5e because they have watched...
  • Alistair: The funny white people on the internet play 5e
  • Emerald: Everyone who walks into this club wants to play DND, people get incorporated into the club and then one shot nights are for broadening of horizons
  • Luna: We can't change GMs choice of systems and freshers choice of systems
  • Chris: Last year we didn't have enough GMs for last year
  • Jackie: We don't have to give freshers what they want we shouldnt let freshers have a choice
  • Gibbi: I also lean towards nyxing the system question
  • We're hereby axeing the question and going on assignment basis, it allows us to change the allocation as demand fits.
