Club Purpose

The purpose of the XHS Gamers Club is to provide a forum of healthy sportsmanship where students can come together to talk about and play their favorite tabletop games.  We support the local gaming population, and provide a constant source of opponents for games which may be hard to find people to game with. 

We do not condone any illegal or subversive activity.  Some people have a negative connotation that goes with gaming, and through this club, we hope to change that view.

 

Club Information

ADVISOR:  Mr. Keefe

 MEETINGS:  Every Tuesday, cafeteria, 2:30-5:00. 

 DUES:  $3 annually

 MISSION STATEMENT: 

The Gamers Club will provide a forum for students to come together, talk about, and play games in an environment of fun and friendly competition.  Good sportsmanship is a must!

 WHO CAN JOIN? 

Anyone who is interested in board games, role-playing games, or trading card games may join.  Every member must be a good sportsman: no abusive behavior will be tolerated.

 DESCRIPTION: 

The XHS Gamers Club provides a place for people to come together, talk about, and play their favorite games without having to go to a store or someone's home.  New members are welcome all year. 

Played games are limited to the approved list.  The club owns many games, and it is up to all of us to make sure we don't lose pieces, nothing is stolen, etc.   You may bring in your own games to play, as long as they are on the list.  I recommend that games be brought to Mr. Keefe in the morning and kept in B241.  That way nothing gets taken from your locker.   

Officer positions will be:  president, vice-president, secretary, and sergeant-at-arms.  The treasurer’s duties will be managed by the advisor.  

We will have a short club business meeting on the first Tuesday of every month, followed by gaming.  Club business can be discussed at any meeting, but will be officially handled on those meetings. 

Video game consoles are limited to the first meeting of the month.  If you want to bring in your console, you must first reserve a spot using our automatic emailing service.  Make sure you list the games you will be bringing; they need to be age- and school-appropriate as well. 

Anyone is welcome to come and play, but only members who have paid their dues may propose new games, use club-owned games, participate in tournaments, hold office, vote during business meetings, bring in consoles, buy t-shirts or hoodies, and be part of the end of the year party.  The Mini Console Day is limited to paid members only.

Some extracurricular trips may be arranged (trip to a convention, game store, etc).  These will always be outside of regular school time.  Students who wish to go on these will need to pay for these in addition to regular dues.

 Club Rules:  

1. ALL XHS rules are in FULL effect.  
2. No cursing.  Some small slips will be tolerated, but foul-mouthed people need not apply.
3. Good sportsmanship must be displayed at all times.  No trash talking or abusive behavior will be tolerated.  
4. Pop and food are allowed, but members must clean up their trash, or food privileges will be lost.
5. Be respectful of club and private property.  That game belongs to someone, and they won’t appreciate it if pieces are stolen or lost.  Theft will be prosecuted.
6. Repeated violation of these rules will result in the expulsion of the member in question.  
7. All rules arguments will be solved in the paper-rock-scissors method.

Club Procedures:

1. XGC is for Xenia High School students only.  If you have graduated or are not yet in high school, you should not be here. 
2. Make sure that an officer marks you down on the attendance sheet. 
3. Have a good meeting!
4. Pick up your trash and push chairs back in. 
3. You are NOT to be wandering around the school during club time.  Stay in the room.  If you leave the room for restroom breaks or whatever, come right back!
4. You are to leave out the FRONT door by the office.  The C wing and C wing doors are off limits. 

 

School Appropriate Games

Being a school club, we have a responsibility to make sure that the games we play are acceptable for the school setting.  In general, board games that are listed as appropriate for ages 5-16 are acceptable.  Other tabletop games, role-playing games, and card games must first be sanctioned by me and the administration. 

Other games that are allowed for the XGC are as follows:

 

Warhammer Fantasy Battle Diplomacy Kill Dr. Lucky!
Warhammer 40,000 Frag Colosseum
Blood Bowl Ninja Burger Rush n' Crush
Warhammer Quest Car Wars Magic the Gathering TCG

The club owns copies of Axis and Allies, Shogun, a Yu-Gi-Oh deck, a Magic deck, Stratego, Monopoly, Risk, a Warmachine: Prime rulebook and Cygnar and Magnus battlegroups, HeroQuest, two Blood Bowl sets with Human, Orc, High Elf, and Dwarf teams, Warhammer 40,000: Battle for Macragge, Warhammer Fantasy: Battle of Skull Pass, Warhammer Quest, Zombies!!!, Pit, Settlers of Catan, Manila, Ticket to Ride, No Thanks!, Saboteur, Station Master, Frag Gold, Munchkin, and several chess sets.

Just because your game is not on the list does not mean it won’t ever be.  New games can be added to the list on a case-by-case basis.  

You are welcome to discuss other games not listed here, such as role-playing games, computer games, and other TCGs.  Unfortunately, we've had a lot of people hanging around and getting us into trouble, so if you're not playing a game, you will be asked to leave.

Please do not play games that are not approved.  If you want a game to be approved, it must be submitted to me.  You must be a paid member to submit a game for approval.
