Spring News Bulletin
marosell May 6th, 2008
The Board of Directors meeting on May 5th went very well. Documents written in the past few months, including our new constitution, we’re revised and approved. We went over the posted information about GEN CON 2008 as well as some information about CATTG CON 2010. We also reviewed our programs. I’m very pleased to announce the Philanthropy and Sponsor Programs are up and running. All paperwork pertaining to them is completed and is ready to be viewed on the Programs Page of this site.
To read the transcript of the meeting, click here.
Next meeting is June 2nd. This is a Board of Directors meeting, but all interested in attending GEN CON 2008 should attend. Very important information on the trip will be discussed. Take care, and student members, I hope your spring exams went very well.

We now have more information regarding our GEN CON 2008 trip online. There is a sample itinerary as well as a registration document. Please share this information with your chapters, this is a great opportunity! We’re trying to make this a fun, relatively inexpensive trip.

First Drafts and Next Board Meeting
marosell March 11th, 2008
Preliminary drafts have been written for the following documents:
I welcome you to give us input by emailing it here: director@cattg.org. If you would like to contribute to the documents, let us know and we can share it over google docs to collaborate on it. We also have a lot of other documents being written, and all chapters should go over them and be comfortable with our new document structure. There is a post in the forums that has links to a lot more of the new documents here.
Also, our next Board Meeting to talk about our new documents before they are finalized is Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008. More details about the meeting will be announced closer to the date.

Document Writing
marosell February 29th, 2008
We have a new document system on our Google Docs account. We need assistance in researching and writing the following: Program Documentation, New Constitution, Forms, and Self-Sustainable Procedures.
If you haven’t guessed, we’re trying to do some project delegation to get this year’s projects moving quicker. Anyone that wishes to help out (any member of any club, not limited to presidents or representatives) should contact me ASAP by emailing me directly at: director@cattg.org

New Services
marosell February 11th, 2008
In order to prepare for our new Philanthropy System, we will be utilizing better ways to keep official documents in order. I’m pleased to announce that we have teamed up with Google Apps™ to provide some new services for us and for our chapters. These include:
- An email address @cattg.org with 6 gigs of space
- A calendar linked to that email address that can be easily displayed on your chapters site (like this one).
- Easy way to keep your documents like your constitution up to date and in one place without version-issues.
- Easy way to keep your information like gaming libraries updated (like this one).
- Free voice calling between our chapters using Google Talk.
These are just some of the bigger benefits we will be getting from Google.
New Directions
marosell February 7th, 2008
Wow, what an amazing turnout! We were able to receive input and get tons of ideas. You can go read our logs from Night I and Night II, but here are the big things that are happening:
- New Philanthropy Program: We are starting a new program to encourage philanthropy in our chapters. We are still sorting out the details, but if you have ideas or suggestions, bring ‘em by the forums! See our new page in the navigation bar!
- New PBP System: We have a new PBP (Play-By-Post) RPG System setup in our forums. Our chapters can finally get some gaming done from across the country!
- New Constitution. We will be adding “encouraging philanthropy” as a purpose and clarifying things that may be incoherent. If you have any thoughts or ideas that need to be present in the next version to be published soon, please come by our forums and tell us.
- New Sponsors. We will be combining our efforts to gain sponsors with our philanthropy program in a sort of “rewards system”. Be on the lookout for more information.
- New Con. We will start coordinating CATTG-CON for May 2010.
It truly is a great time to be a part of the Collegiate Association of Table Top Gamers. Again, those are the highlights, so if you missed the conference, be sure to read through the logs. We’re all very excited and looking forward to some great opportunities ahead.
Thanks to all who helped and continue to help, participate, and give us input. This couldn’t have been done without you.

Night One: Success!
marosell February 5th, 2008
The first night of our WebChat Conference was a success. Pete from Particularly Evil Games was ecstatic about helping us with our goals and we’re looking forward to working with him and his collegue Frank really soon.
You can view a log of this evening’s chat here.
I will also be starting a thread in our Official Buisness forum dealing with some of the more important issues I brought up this evening. I’m looking foward to hearing responses from you guys, and hopefully seeing some familiar faces screennames in the chat room tomorrow night.
Take care.
WebChat Conference 2008
marosell January 25th, 2008
It’s official! Our conference will consist of two chats on February 5th 9PM EST and February 6th 9PM EST.
If you use Meebo, you can run a search for our chat room called “Collegiate Association of Table Top Gamers”, or you can use the chat applet installed on the “Contact Us” page. Additionally, we have an agenda you can download. If you have any suggestions to add to the agenda, please contact us. A few potential chapters have been invited to chat with us, which is really fantastic.
Also, with the new website, we could probably make use of an updated logo. Any photoshop experts out there? We could also use a logo-incorporating pic to put in the top right hand corner of this page. One more item of interest, we have links to both a Facebook Fan Page and a Facebook Group on our “Contact Us” page, be sure to check them out!
