Sorry my first version of this was garbaged. We are having trouble
with posting news.
The MIT Strategic Games Society will run its 10th summer

etc) and Role Playing (D&D, much TRAVELLER, Western Gunfight,

"HUB" SF role playing game, Western Gunfight and D&D. 6-12PM

other days 10 AM to Midnight.

PS: Yes this is real. The total lack of publicity at MIT is
due to the traditional MIT SGS attitude towards publicity.
(E.G. "Let George Do It", but he's not around anymore.)
