Welcome to week 9 of the Tabletop Gaming club!
Hope everyone enjoyed our single 80+ degree day this weekend, and are ready for tonights freeze watch!
Club as per usual will be held in ILSB116B from 7-10pm Tuesday 4/7 and Thursday 4/9. We do however have some fun announcements for everyone so lets get right into them!
First off we have a few events coming up:
- Thursday April 16th will be our semester D&D PVP tournament! Come one, come all to participate in our bracketed PVP tournament and compete for Glory! (and some cool D&D related prizes). Newbies and veterans alike are welcome, as well as people not even involved with the club. We do however need more DMs for the tournament so please reach out to any of our Club officers if you are interested! TTRPG Ambassador Izra Samson will be posting rules for the tournament by the end of next week. Final details as to location will be sent out in the next few days.
- Thursday April 23rd will be our Touch grass event! For this earth-day mini event the club will be providing a selection of nature and earth-day themed board games for everyone to enjoy! (And potentially the opportunity to touch this illusive grass many here seem to be unaware of)
- This Friday beginning at 5:30pm we will be hosting our Board game prototyping Collab With the Game Dev Club!, please come and join us for a fun night learning (and actually trying) to prototype board games! Have an idea for a game you want to try out? Come on in and work on it with guidance from experienced members of both Tabletop gaming and the Game dev club. Then at our next event, get the opportunity to test out your creation in our judged competition, for the chance of your game being produced at Common vision!
For our final announcement of the day:
It is that time of year again, that's right OFFICER ELECTIONS!!!! Beginning the moment this announcement is posted, and lasting until 6:59pm Tuesday 4/14 all UMBC STUDENTS who have attended at least two club meetings this year will be eligible to signup to run for a position on our E-board and get to make their mark on the club for the upcoming schoolyear, and beyond. However this years officer elections are a bit unusual as it will be a complete changing of the guard.
All Current officers will be graduating (Or stepping back) after this semester, meaning we will need a completely new E-board for the coming year. As this club has meant so much to us via time, dedication, and effort over the past several years we really want to see it continue on for years to come with new and dedicated officers. So please, please, please, if you are at all interested in taking up an officer position, fill out the form at the end of this announcement. If you are unsure or worried about the workload, please feel free to reach out to any current or former club officer with any questions or concerns you may have. Our open positions will be as follows:
- President
- Vice president
- Treasurer
- Secretary
- Board game ambassador
- TTRPG Ambassador
All of these positions must be filled for the club to continue, it should however be noted that the roles of president, treasurer, and vice president must be held by 3 different students, but they may also run for the other additional officer positions. The voting portion of the election will be held from 10pm 4/14/26 - 4/30/26 at 10pm. Only students who have attended 2+ meetings (Marked by club attendance / Event attendance) are eligible to vote.
That is all for this week, I hope you all have a great time!
