Toppy publishes game (sort of)

You can now buy an actual, physical, properly printed shiny hard copy of Kitnapped, Toppy's game about stealing other people's cats. It's available via The Game Crafter, a print-on-demand games site in the US. When you order a copy, TGC will print it up, box it up and send it out to you!
And whay would you not want a copy? It's a game about stealing other people's kittens so you can have ALL THE KITTENS!
Go forth and order freely!

Welcome to 2017!

Should I do the survey? Do THIS survey to find out!

Greetings strange bipeds!
2017 is upon us, and it's time to think about what games we'll play during the coming year!
There's a shiny new Google survey you can fill out (you will need to login using your school email address) - sometime during the next week (when we get enough results) there'll be some sort of announcement about what we're going to play during Term One.
Terms Two and Three, as usual, will have some sort of craft component - you can also vote for what you want to do craft wise on the survey!
NOW GO DO THE SURVEY!

Semester Two 2016: What Shall We Play?

What sinister machinations do you feel like taking part in for Semester Two?
Do you desire to delve in dark draconic dungeons?
Do you long to soar through space?
Do you mean to gather magics?
Would you rather just play a mind-numbingly large amount of Uno?
I am currently after suggestions for what we should do during the coming terms. Post a comment below to let me know what YOU want to play. Bear in mind cost, number of players, and time needed to play and prepare for the game when making suggestions.

Master Painter 2016

We're starting to paint GruntZ squads today - which can mean only one thing! Time for LSCWC's Master Painter contest to return! This year, MP will form part of the GruntzArena season. It's simple. For the next two weeks, we will be painting GruntZ squads in B11 during Friday lunchtime for use in the crucible of the GruntzArena. Once painted, all GruntZ will be photographed and posted to this blog, where a poll will be held allowing the world to choose the best painted squad. That squad's painter will be crowned champion and showered in glory.

Term Two: GruntZArena

GruntZArena is full contact gladiatorial sport at it's finest. Teams of six heavily armed warriors, each with a Base Station to defend enter the arena. The team which captures the most Base Stations wins. Use of assault rifles and laser carbines has been authorised.
GruntZArena is a 15mm scale skirmish wargame, using the GruntZ rules system.
Figures include Eureka Miniatures Ventaurans and Sci Fi Germans and GZG Alien Mercs.

This term we will:

• Build team base stations
• Paint team figures
• Play four rounds of GruntZArena league play
• Play two rounds of finals

There will be some manner of potent prize for the champion. Remain attentive to this blog for further details which will materialise in the fullness of time.
