The RPG Club

The clubs of LBCC are a great way for people to connect over common interests. One such club that is excellent for this is the RPG Club, or Role-Playing Game Club. Members of this club gather a few times a week to meet up, play games, and enjoy a dynamic storytelling experience set in various genres and settings. Their sole focus is on running role playing games twice a week, and have been doing so faithfully.
Nik Geier, the president of the RPG Club, gave a rundown of what he and a few of the other members do to keep the club running every week, on Mondays and Fridays.
“I run the club, I run the games on Fridays, and sometimes on Mondays. I sometimes trade off with Jim, Nathan runs fifth edition, and he pitches in a lot of the time, and the other one is Thien, who runs Star Wars. Mel also makes us food.”
The RPG Club has been around for awhile now, and the members have all put in great effort to keep things running, and to help create an ideal club for others to find enjoyment in an imaginative game experience, while being welcomed with open arms by the longstanding members. Nathan Harrow, when asked what he gets out of the club personally, responded as follows.
“Definitely friendship. If I didn’t go for an RPG Club, it would have taken me a lot longer to find a group of friends without the club atmosphere.”
With a diverse range of themes and settings for a lot of role playing games, it’s always interesting to note what someone’s favorite game would be out of the pick. Favorites included GURPS and Pathfinder. Thien Nguyen gave some insight on his favorite game.
“The progenitor of all RPGs, D&D. It’s the classic high fantasy that brings out the creative side of people, even people who seem to be really quiet or timid.”

Column Article: Standing Up for The Little Guy

Cannons. Line battles. Cavalry. As my history class wore on, my imagination ran with excitement through battle after battle, as fusiliers marched across fields, through cities, and across Europe. The subject in class was the Napoleonic Wars, and I was hooked. The rich and interesting history grabbed my attention immediately, and hasn't let go since. As I read more about this era of history, I developed a view that seemed to stray from the popular opinion on one of the greatest military leaders in history. I was a fan of Napoleon Bonaparte. I understood his faults, sure, but it was his successes that far outweighed his blemishes, in my eyes. Unfortunately, others weren't so understanding. My peers often disagreed with me on the matter, but I held fast to my opinion, and still do. Over time, the popular opinion of Napoleon has still remained the same: The man who conquered the conquerors was remembered as a villain, and his opponents as heroes. Chances are you think of Nap

Week 6 Blog Post

Topic 1: For my column article, I'm thinking of writing an article in defense of Napoleon Bonaparte, the French emperor who had an entire era of warfare named after him. In the article, I plan on going into why he fought the wars, and how his current image was made using the biases of his enemies, who were the victors in the end, how he ruled France, and the state of France under his reign. It may not serve to completely change one's opinion of Napoleon, but to help show that the popular views of him are more subjective than objective. Arguments will include the nature of the wars he fought, being that most of them were defensive wars, and his introduction of the Code Napoleon, which introduced legal policies that benefitted citizens and parts of which are still used today in many modern countries. Topic 2: Article: "English, we hardly know ye" Summary: Basically, she is writing about how the english language is ridiculously complicated and sometimes appears cont

Week 4 Blog Post

Profile: I will be writing a profile about Mike Reardon, a high school teacher in Lebanon. He can be observed at the school he teaches, East Linn Christian Academy. The sources will be him, his brother, and students of his. I'll ask him why he does what he does, and ask his brother (Who is the Head of Story at Disney) about Mike and how they grew up together, and his influence on his brother's career path. I'll also ask students of his about their teacher, and how he is a favorite in the school. This teacher has been regarded in the school as one of the best instructors there. He's often spoken highly of, though he tries to discredit himself on this matter. With a love for debates, he often takes students to publicly held debates, and likes to pose tough questions to the speakers during the public forum segment of the debates.
