The gaming shop I am running has a website!

www.TheBulwark.org

Its a good place to go if you want to know about upcoming dork community events in Chico!  Also we have a Twitter and a Facebook group!  Right now we are looking for a logo, so if you have any ideas feel free to submit them!

I am looking at opening FLGS in Chico.  I am daring to dream folks!  I am already looking at places, and I will be dropping off applications on Monday for a awesome location.  If I get this location the shop will feature:

• 2 8'x4' tables for wargaming or other shenanigans.
• A 4'x4' coffee table great for D&D or painting.
• Almost daily events for any system people are interested in.
• Low price guarantee on all special orders.
• Friday night LARP night occurring weekly.
• Full concession stand.
• LFG boards, leader boards, and weekly newsletters to keep people in touch with the community.
• Hours to accommodate weekday gaming! 3:00 - 10:00 PM (or later for planned events).

In fact we have a lot going on already, people have confirmed games with the following schedule: Mondays: Blood Bowl the Badwell Cup Wednesdays: Forgotten Realms D&D RPGA Fridays: Vampire The Masqerade / Werewolf the Apocolypse (alternating) Saturdays: Diplomacy / Catan Sunday: Warmachine / Warhammer What's nice about having all this room, is there is always space for open gaming! The only catch to all of this is in order to enjoy the events and space made by the shop, there would be a $10 / month membership fee. The good news is, that if you go to one event a week, that's $2.50 per week, and 4 hours of entertainment for $2.50 is the best deal you will find anywhere. This is certainly a group effort, and I don't plan on making much money on this at all, in fact I will be keeping my job at ID while all this is happening. These events and the shop itself is going to be an effort of the community. "The shop" isn't putting many of these events on, instead it's gamers like you and me who want to be involved and create something fun for their friends. If anyone is interested in running an event and wants space tell them to let me know, we can always make room for planned events on the calendar. This is exciting, I will be updating my LJ first and foremost with news and info, so if you are piqued by this modest undertaking watch here for information, as it spreads outwardly to my other social networking sites. Also, leave a comment!  I am aiming for a launch date of February 1st.

This contract agreed upon by _________________ (here referenced as the 1st party) and Bylliam DuPont (referenced as the 2nd party) and witnessed by the demon Xxxythrid bound to the service of the 2nd party on the 12th day of the Fading in the year 1457 establishes the relationship, rights, and boundaries of the party in regards to the disposition and payment of the 2nd party.  This contract also waives the rights of the 1st party to bring suit before a court of his peers and the right to any third party mediation prior to suits. This contract also references “the Party” which will be defined for these purposes as a group of contracted or hired freelance adventurers paid on completion of the same duty, task, or quest that are not in the regular employ of the person hiring for the completion of the duty, task, or quest.

Any agreements made by the 1st party with any agent, officer, manifestation, daemon, spirit of a lawful deity, lawful lesser deity, or lawful demeanor will be considered nonbinding on the part of the 2nd party. Any such agreements made on behalf of the 2nd party by the 1st party will be considered non binding. These restriction of representation extends to pacts and agreements made with Fey creatures of any kind. Furthermore these rights of representation are mutual, when dealing with creatures of an “evil” disposition (1).

The 1st party will do its part in order to assure an equal and fair payment of the 2nd party. This includes all acquired assets the Party should receive through looting, theft, war gains, and payments legitimate or otherwise. Furthermore the 1st party shall receive an invoice from the 2nd party for the cost of any incidental use of potions, ritual components, bribes, or business expenses split equally amongst all members of the Party (including the 2nd party). Documentation of the expense shall only be provided in case of a “business expense”. This invoice is expected to be paid at time of issuing, although if the 1st party wishes he may extend his payment and fill out form “EZ-666” which provides payment options for the net balanced to be paid in 30 days.

In the event of the death of the 1st party the 2nd party agrees to pay for a resurrection ritual to be cast by a competent healer from the church of Amaunatpr, Lysander, Kelemvor, Shiallia, Velhsaroon, Chronepsis, Sehanine Moonbow, Urogalan, or Yurtrus. If there is a preferred deity it is the 1st party’s responsibility to specify the power to the 2nd party. If the resurrection is declined by the 1st party the debt incurred by the casting of the ritual shall be the burden of his estate. In the event of the death of the 2nd party the 1st party will immediately seek resurrection of the 2nd by a competent healer of any alignment pursuant to paragraph two of this contract.  The 1st party may expect remuneration immediately after resurrection of the 2nd party.

During the time the Party remains incorporated the 1st party may be healed by, or moved into a position which may be dangerous by the 2nd party.  This contract waives any claims of injury before any judicial body on the part of the 1st party against the 2nd party. As well, while working in conjunction for the Party and on an assigned task the 1st party acknowledges that the 2nd party is not responsible for any threat real or imagined which may cause harm to the 1st party, and any incidental casualties sustained by the 1st party is not the responsibility of the 2nd party. Furthermore the 1st party acknowledges that the 2nd party has no formal medical training and any failed attempt to enhance or heal the 1st party falls under the purview an incidental casualty.

This contract shall remain valid as long as the Party remains incorporated. Once the Party is unincorporated the events which occurred while the Party was incorporated shall remain bound to the restrictions and rights of this contract, this provides for any sort of time manipulation on the part of any greater power malevolent or otherwise. At the incorporation of a new party the terms may be renewed by dating and marking the initials of the 1st party on the corner of this contract.

Since I got moved back to the call center, they had the decency to put me next to a window. I can hear the rain outside and I get to see the sun when its out.  This pleases me.

Everyone bailed to go to the Goth Club on Friday.  This sucks.

Everyone except for The Cheat.

That's right bitches, I am making my acting debut with a very serious character who is emotionally torn.  Its all very complex and I think I'm going to be opening some doors here.  Yep, in a few years...maybe even months I will be getting signed with an agent.

Oh... who am I playing?

The cyclops from Cannibal! The Musical.  Yep, anyone who has seen the movie knows how deep the Cyclops is.  Sometimes, its hard being as humble as me; and now I have to couple this burden with my awesome acting career in community theater. Man, this is going to be tough.
