Halloween Materials: While we strive to make every month an event to remember, the MGL puts special emphasis on Halloween. The primary manual has been revised in recent years to be a simple handout containing everything the players need to know in order to get involved. Additional materials include the event scenarios themselves.
Themes: Each month, we try to keep things new and exciting. The majority of our nights consist of a series of scenarios (a "campaign") built around a theme. At the end of the description is a series of dots indicating the complexity of the rules set – one (•) being simplest to pick up, and five (•••••) requiring the most pre-game setup and/or player preparation.
Campaigns: A whole night of five inter-linked, themed scenarios packaged together in a single file.
Staff Positions: Due to an exceptional player turn-out these past few years, the MGL has had to re-organize and delegate some authority so that the Moderators aren't ovewhelmed. These files detail staff positions available to dedicated volunteers.
Player Documentation: These files are more important at the games and so are always available. We have included them here also for easy access and storage, and in case you wanted to take a look.
