A new year is dawning, and with it some changes that we decided on at the general meeting on January 7. The complete minutes can be found below. Here is a summary of the most important news:

• While our new DnD community campaign, codenamed “Blackrock,” is still a little way off, we can look forward to welcoming the Starfinder Society in January! Just like the Pathfinder Society, an official adventure from the global campaign will be played every month.
• We now offer the following types of membership:
  • Standard membership (CHF 100)
  • Patron membership (CHF 200)
  • Solidarity membership (CHF 60)
  • Would you like to become a patron or are you dependent on the lower membership fee? Then please get in touch with us.
• Did you miss your chance to get your hands on a KuL shirt? Don’t worry: you can now order everything from T-shirts to aprons from our merchandise shop: kul-verein.ch/merchandise

The next meetup will take place on
Wednesday, March 4 at 6:00 p.m.
You can participate in person or via Discord.

You have probably all heard by now that we have successfully moved. I won’t repeat myself here and will simply refer you to the construction reports and the successful crowdfunding campaign. Instead, let’s get straight to the news from yesterday’s meeting:

• Members can now book the Sci-Fi Bridge for CHF 20 for short sessions (such as Session 0 or board games).
• Furthermore, all rooms can be booked by members on weekdays until 5:00 p.m. (i.e., during off-peak hours) for CHF 20.
• There will be a successor to our Arcanor community campaign! Project Blackrock is being organized by Daniel, Elia, and Nino and is expected to be announced in December. We are looking forward to having another free DnD campaign soon.
• The third quarter financial results also look good. Due to the unexpectedly higher rent, more expenses for rent deposits, etc., things will be a little tighter at the end of the year despite your overwhelming donations. However, all signs are good for next year, with steadily growing membership numbers and room rentals.
• Small stuff: If you see a large table (at least 110 cm wide) that would fit in the library, please let us know! We also ask you to label your compartment with GM material in the room.

Your generosity and willingness to help KuL with small, large and enormous amounts of money, hard work, energy and solidarity (once again) to open a new chapter leaves me speechless. And so we can conclude an extremely successful crowdfunding campaign.

Within a few weeks, we found new premises, developed decoration concepts and received an INCREDIBLE CHF 5000 (FIVE THOUSAND!!!) to realise these concepts. And of course we started immediately!

Since this Monday, we have been painting, flooring, decorating and listening to Patricia&Mario’s wedding playlist at Weissensteinstrasse 16.

All that remains for me to do is to take a bow, refer to our donor page and say

!MERCI VIU MAU!

And what happens anyway, of course?
