The Miskatonic Student Union is the University of Kentucky's roleplaying club. We meet Wednesdays, at 7pm, in the Student Center of UK, in room 106 aka Center for Student Involvement.
Our focus is in roleplaying, but we also encourage board games, video games, card game, Live action roleplaying, MMORPGs, or anything else geeky. Feel free to come visit us.
You can contact our president at -email- or leave a message on the forums.

On Friday, March 23rd, 5pm-midnight, and Saturday, March 24th, 10am-midnight, we will be hosting UKON over at the University of Kentucky's Student Center, primarily at the 3rd floor ballroom and adjacent rooms. We will have many games occurring, as well as door prices. Price is $5 per day, or $8 for both. Check out our UKON webpage for more information about UKON!
We'll be having our first meeting January 18th, 2012 at Room 251 at the Student Center at 7:00pm. There's going to be a lot of talk about games, and hopefully an update about how many rooms I can reserve for us this semester. Also, we'll need to talk about UKON advertising, events, manning the front desk, and most importantly, elections! I hope to see everyone there!
We are still looking for people that would be willing to help out for Fandomfest July 22nd-24th. So far I have two people confirmed for going. If anyone else is interested in helping out with games there, send me an email as soon as you can. You can check out more information at their website.
UKON 2011 will be held March 25th and 26th at the Student Center. We have reservations for all the rooms we made available in 2010, of course.
Chris Moore has been talking to me about some of the things he's planning, and it should be a great convention. Everyone be sure to give your support and listen to Chris!
We will start having our official meetings again in the Fall. Until then, at Chris' request, I'm going to start working with him on how we can make the forum more useful.
Former president Jeremy Puckett was kind enough to do some cleanup on the forum today. From here until at least the Fall, I'll take over that responsibility since I believe it's probably part of my job! We'll vote on which officer(s) should have administrative rights on the forum this coming semester, but until then I'll do so myself. Bear with me as I learn the interface!

The first meeting of the new school year will take place on Wednesday, September 2. As is club tradition, the meeting will be at 7pm in the Center for Student Involvement, room 106 of the Student Center. It sounds like we're going to be having a lot of new faces around this year, thanks to the turnout at the student social last week, so anyone and everyone who can make it should come out for the meeting. I know that quite a few Miskies will be showing up to say hi to the new blood, and to show off their favorite RPGs, board games, and other fun stuff.

I may not be president anymore, but I have one last announcement to make! In only another day, we will be undertaking our second ever Miskatonic GenCon Trip! Here's to hoping for a good time!
Jeremy Puckett Trip Coordinator [Submitted by hida_jiremi]
That's the end of the semester, folks! I hope everyone had a good time this year, and here's hoping for all the good times yet to come. GenCon is coming up in August, and that's always a good time. Even if you're not coming with the official club trip, you should at least try to make it up to Indy for a day--you could spend that much time just wandering through the dealers' room. ^_^
We've got a good crew lined up for next year, and I can't wait to see what they've got in store for us. So, without further ado, I hereby step down as president of the Miskatonic Student Union and hand it off to my successor, Zach Purol. It's not like I'm disappearing into the wilderness or anything, though; I'll still be around to dispense elderly-type wisdom when necessary. Still, Zach's a great guy, he's been a great officer, and I have no doubt that he'll be a great president.
Good luck to all of you, and have a good summer!
Sincerely, Jeremy Puckett [Submitted by hida_jiremi]

Well, it's been a fun year, hasn't it? Between a record-attendance UKON, a bunch of new members, some great connections with other groups, and generally a wild ride, it's hard to imagine that there's less than a month left in the school year. Still, as we approach the end of the year (and the end of my presidency), we still have more things to do!
Coming up on April 21 and 22, running from 8am to 5pm on the second floor of the Student Center, we will be having a club bake sale. This event will be the last fundraiser of the year, with brownies, cookies and more provided by handy-dandy Miskie cooks. Prices will be reasonable and quality will be high! Stop by for a snack, or just to say hi to the club members working the table.
April 29 will be the year's final Miskie Funday, at which we will be watching good video game movies and ordering pizza on the club dime. Location has yet to be determined, but it's likely that it will be at the same place as last time.
Finally, we're looking at Saturday, May 2, as the MSU year-end barbecue. Every year, we go out to Woodland Park, grab a grill, buy some raw meat, and cook it up into food for the club. This year will be especially cool, since we're going to have a special celebrity guest: Keith Baker, the creator of Eberron! If there turns out to be inclement weather or other problems, we'll change the schedule, but for now we'll be meeting at 2pm in Woodland Park at the picnic shelter. Bring along fun things, like boffer weapons and nerf guns!
With the kind of effort and dedication that we've seen this year, I have no doubt that next year will be even better! Keep up the good work! And thanks for all the hard work so far! Summer's almost here!
