THIS IS A DRAFT SCHEDULE, AND NOT YET FINALIZED

You only need concern yourself with this page if you are a GM bidding for the upcoming semester.

Instructions for GMs

This is a draft schedule.

If you are a GM bidding for this semester, please take the following actions:

  • Confirm your weekend
  • Finalize your zampolit report, if necessary
  • Check your entry for errors

If you need to contact the Scribe about your entry, send mail to guild-scribe -- or just reply to the draft email they sent you. If you need to contact the High Council, send mail to high-council.

Confirm your weekend

Check with your entire GM team, and confirm whether the weekend assigned to you is acceptable. It should be, because you entered it as an acceptable weekend on the form, but you should confirm it now.

Once your entire GM team has confirmed, please take one of the following actions to signal this:

  • Edit this page to change the NO to a YES next to the "Weekend confirmed?" line under your game.
  • OR send mail to the Scribe, and include the specific weekend that you are confirming, in case things got moved around and it's unclear.

If your weekend is NOT acceptable for any reason, please let the Scribe know as soon as possible, so that they have enough time to shuffle around other games as necessary.

Finalize your zampolit report

Check the "Zampolit status" section under your game.

If it is EXEMPT, your game is not required to have a Zampolit. You do not need to take any action. (Games are exempt if they previously ran in the Guild or they were ran by you successfully at another LARP group. Non-game events are exempt from needing a Zampolit.)

If it is APPROVED, the Zampolit report for your game has been received, and you're all set. You do not need to take any action.

If it is PENDING, the Zampolit you named has not yet sent in a report. Please contact them as soon as possible and ensure that they turn in a report promptly.

If it is NEEDED, your game is not exempt from needing a Zampolit, but you did not provide one. If you believe that your game should be EXEMPT instead, please contact the Scribe as soon as possible. Otherwise, please acquire a reasonable Zampolit, and let the Scribe know once you have done so.

Check your entry for errors

This Wiki page will be turned into the final schedule directly, by removing this top section and eliminating the "Zampolit status:" and "Weekend confirmed?" lines from each entry. You should check everything else for typos and other errors, to ensure that they are correct.

If a list of GMs is inaccurate, and GMs need to be added or removed, contact the Scribe, rather than updating the Wiki yourself, so that they can also update lists elsewhere, such as the GM-wide mailing list.

If you find any errors besides missing or extra GMs, such as spelling errors or missing text, please take one of the following actions:

  • Edit this Wiki page to correct the error.
  • Send mail to the Scribe describing the correction you would like made.

Please do not make edits to the scheduling dates on this page.

DRAFT SCHEDULE: NOT FINALIZED

The schedule of games being run in IAP 2020 under the auspices of the MIT Assassins' Guild is as follows.

Make sure that you are on the Assassins' Guild Mailing List to receive the application forms for these games.

Patrol

First and Third Saturday of the month, 8-11:00pm, 36-115

Travel to strange new classrooms. Meet interesting, unusual people, and kill them! Patrol is a high-action game of live combat with rubber-dart guns. Shoot your friends, then watch out as they try to take their revenge.

[2/1 Weekend] Secrets of the Necronomicon

GMs: Steve Balzac, Aimee Yermish

Weekend confirmed? YES

Zampolit status: EXEMPT

Not far from the venerable Massachusetts town of Arkham sits Miskatonic University.  Its ancient ivy-covered buildings nestled amongst carefully sculpted primæval greenery and mysterious, hoary trees, Miskatonic is renowned as a first-rate liberal arts college.  Althought Miskatonic is noted for its departments of archæology, history, and folklore, the quality of the school’s mathematics and sciences should not be ignored.  And, of course, Miskatonic is famous for its student pranks and for its persistent rumours of sorcery and black magic.  The latter, especially, have always formed an exciting backdrop to the normal life of the university.  Now, on the University’s bicentennial, with the annual Alumni Weekend approaching, old stories are being dredged up, and new ones are being whispered in the darkness, for...

Something Strange Is Going On!

Is it true that someone broke into the University Library? What about the rumours that the dread Necronomicon mysteriously vanished from the Rare Books collection? And what is the FBI doing on campus? Could they be investigating the mysterious disappearances that have plagued Miskatonic of late? What about the rise in cult activity? Campus religions have suddenly become very active, especially some of the more outré organizations. Could this be connected with the returning geological and archæological expeditions? Just what did they discover in the Antarctic, anyway? Are the rumours of insanity amongst the members of the expedition greatly exaggerated, or did something sinister happen deep in that frozen waste? And is it true that the parents of a Miskatonic student really need to sacrifice in order to send their kid to college?

Join us in the world of H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos. You and 60 other players will delve into forbidden mysteries and encounter shocking revelations that man was not meant to know. No knowledge of the books is necessary -- we provide everything you’ll need.

The game will run from Friday evening (packet handout) January 31 - early afternoon Sunday Feb 2.
