Dear MaPhIns and Gaming Friends,
This week, the Gaming-AG has three things coming up: a Gaming Night, a Randomizer Night, and the deadline for Game-Jam registration. Later in December, we also have another TTT Online Night. 🥳 Here is all the info:
Gaming Night
This Friday, Dec 12th at 6:30 PM, we are meeting as usual in the Semi-Temp, Rooms 5 to 8.
All kinds of games will be played again, whether on Switch, PC, or card games 🏎️
Depending on attendance, there will also be a Smash and/or Mario Kart tournament; registration takes place via Discord https://linktr.ee/fsmpi_gaming on Friday. The tournaments will start at 7:00 PM. 🏆
There will be free snacks and drinks 🍿 (Please bring your own cups if possible!)
If you have a preference for a particular game feel free to bring your own Nintendo Switch, laptops, cartridges or board games, but it's not a must! Also bring your friends - they don't have to be MaPhIn (math-physics-computer science) students
If you would like to help out, please come to Augustinerbach 2a at 5:15 PM. We appreciate any help!
Online Randomizer Night
This weekend, we are hosting another Multiworld Randomizer Night on our Discord https://linktr.ee/fsmpi_gaming that you can join. This time with a Puzzle Theme. 🧩 However, as always, you are welcome to play anything else. 🎉
What is it about? 🤔 You choose a supported game in advance. This game is automatically modded so that you find items for other participants in your game, and they, in turn, unlock items for you. All items are randomized across all games, so your progress in Game A unlocks important items for someone in Game B! While you play, you can chat on our Discord about which items you currently need or stream your game progress.
Which games are supported? 🎮 You can sign up with one or multiple short games; the only important thing is that you can finish the games in one evening. Many games also support options that allow you to finish them faster. You can find all supported games on our Discord, and a smaller selection can also be found directly at https://archipelago.gg/games.
How do I sign up? ✍️ You need to send us a configuration file (.yaml file), which contains information such as how far you want to play your game. It is important that you register shortly before the start of the event. You can find out more about this and the setup in our Discord https://linktr.ee/fsmpi_gaming.
If you have any questions, feel free to write to us in the corresponding Discord https://linktr.ee/fsmpi_gaming channel.
