The Hobby Draw is pretty simple. Each member attending Winter Camp (or his designate) presents three potential new hobbies for himself, as well as a description of some potential benefits (either personal, professional, or Winter Campical). The assembled members then conduct a secret ballot to determine the new hobby. As a new twist, last year's hobby draw added a measurement to determine success at the new hobby. Look for that to be back, and start thinking about your new hobbies today. |

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

A variation on Predator/Prey. Most of the players are students who, if they accumulate enough "ick factor" (aka rocks) can become Scoobies. A handful are vampires. One is The Slayer.
The Slayer can kill a vampire by touching it. A vampire can kill prey by touching it. If a vampire chooses to take its prey back to the vamp base (graveyard), it can become a vampire (predator).
The goal is for the students to survive to the end of time. The vamps just want to kill everyone. Ick factor would be created via rocks and a few magic artifacts. |
