Raindog's Rampage: Dec 7th, 2019

[Raindog]

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is that time again. It is time to Rampage! I have been holding them for 13 years now. This is the fourth year for Infinity!  As always, I hope to see you! If you don’t play Infinity, We don’t care: come play hang out, eat with us, make a charity donation. You are invited!

What is a Rampage? 

A Rampage is a celebration of gaming goodness where community and sportsmanship is valued as much as winning. Traditionally, it is the celebration at the end of an Escalation League. Players gather, bring food and drinks, and play games. Somebody wins a sword and we all go out to for beer afterwards.

Each year, I select a charity to support. The Women’s Shelter I have supported in the past has closed, so this year with my mother having her second batch of breast cancer, I asking for cash donations to help fight cancer.
