What is Renegades?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Renegades is Mount Holyoke’s tabletop gaming club! This includes roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons, Monster of the Week, and Pathfinder (although we run games with other systems too), and just plain old board games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I join? <\/h5>\n\n\n\n

You can join our mailing list at the involvement fair at the beginning of each semester or mid-semester by joining on Embark<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is previous experience or anything else required?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

No! Many of our members didn’t start playing until college. You don’t even need your own dice, you can borrow some from our library, The Hoard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does Game Sorting work?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of each semester the Game Managers (GM’s) give their pitches and we send out a form where you can rank your choices. We then run everything through a very cool algorithm and you get placed in a game! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: late placements are possible within the first week-ish of games beginning, but nothing is guaranteed, so be sure to attend the Sorting or email us ASAP if you can’t!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I have to go every week?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Some games can accommodate more absences than others, and some games are designed to be drop in, drop out. The GM should make this clear during game sorting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I run a game?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Yes, once you’re a licensed GM. We are currently revising our GM licensing process, so stay tuned for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if there’s a problem in my game?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

To reach out to Anna, our Ombudsperson, fill out the grievance form over on the Forms page, send her an email here<\/a>, or drop by her Ombuddy hours:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wednesdays from 4:30 – 5:45 pm at this Zoom link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
