I can’t believe I forgot to send out this email a few weeks ago - but photos for Dragon and Spring minigames at RPI and FotL are now available for download at our flickr site: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foambrain. There are lots and lots of great photos, so thanks to everyone who helped take them.
Second, as a reminder, we’re still taking sign-ups for Pendragon (and we’re hoping to do the first round of casting in about a month\month and a half). Tales of Pendragon is more or less the canonical work in this style of LARP. In it, you are both afforded opportunities to play your main character as he or she grapples with personal issues of some importance, and play a variety of characters in short minigames. The blurb is at the bottom of this email, and you can get the flyer at www.foambrain.com/downloads/pendragon.pdf. If you want to sign up for Pendragon, you can do so at http://pendragon.foambrain.com. For those of you who pre-filled out your information earlier, the entirety of the questionnaire is now available. If you’re signed up to play but you’ve got friends you know are planning on signing up but haven’t, please give them a reminder.
Third, as a reminder, 5th anniversary embroidered polos are available for sale at http://shirts.foambrain.com – you can pay for these when you get back in the fall, and we’ll have them in time for Mary Celeste.
Fourth, as a reminder we have an active and exciting chat community on Skype. Come join us!

If you need help getting skype working, let me know.
As usual, if you’ve got any questions or there’s anything I can help you with, please let me know. I really am bored at work a bunch of the time ☺. You can reach me by AIM: WizOfAwz, E-Mail: And...@foambrain.com or Skype: Zrealm. Or, if you’re in Troy, just shout loud enough…

Join us for a journey into the mythic past to tell the stories from long ago, when Britain was emerging from Roman occupation to become a nation. Then, jousting and romance were the most popular sports, and nascent Christianity grew alongside and sometimes struggled against ancient Pagan ways. New kingdoms strove to consolidate power, yet in the strange wild places practitioners of old magic, both foul and fair, still wove their enchantments. High chivalry took its place alongside base treachery, and war was the commonplace pursuit of nobles everywhere.
In Tales of Pendragon, you will tell these stories by becoming the characters therein. In this fashion you will play not one, but many characters during the course of the game. You might be King Lot in one tale, a goodly Hermit in another, and a terrible Monster in a third, giving you the opportunity to experience the myth in all dimensions.
More, your stories will affect history itself. The direction that the myth takes will be determined by the your collective actions. Will Lancelot and Guinevere betray Arthur? Will the Round table be broken? Will Mordred come to hate his father? All these will be chosen by the actions you take in your stories: as go the people of Britain, so goes the saga of her great heroes.
Come join us for a magical weekend far from the modern world!
Two Important Notes:
1. We are reserving several slots for RPI Freshman, which means we will be starting the waitlist earlier than normal. We are anticipating casting near the end of July, 2009.
2. Unlike previous games, we are going to have to charge for Tales of Pendragon. We are pretty sure it is going to be between 20 and 25 dollars, which will include an ingame dinner Saturday night.
