About RTSFS
RTSFS provides a discussion forum and social outlet in central North Carolina for like-minded Triangle-wide fans of speculative fiction (science fiction, fantasy, horror) in print, film and TV, as well as for related activities such as Role Playing Games (RPGs).
We're a group balanced between idealistic youngsters whose zest for life hasn't been squashed yet, and old pharts who'll beat you up with their canes. Some members are married, some are single; some have children, others have cats, dogs, cacti, or fish. Members come from all parts of the Triangle: Wake Forest, Pittsboro, Garner, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Apex, etc.
If you know of any Triangle-area SF events, let us know! Write to: webmaster <AT> rtsfs <DOT> com
Upcoming Events
RTSFS Annual Holiday Party
Sunday, December 18
2:00 pm
Colony Hill Clubhouse, 3060 Colony Road, Durham NC 27705 (Google Map)
The club will provide cups, plates, napkins, plasticware, and basic snacks (sodas, chips, cookies). If you have a special holiday dish you'd like to share, please bring it, with our thanks.
Board games at 2pm, tasty food at 4pm, Silly Gift Exchange at 6pm.
Board Games
Please bring your favorite games to share. The clubhouse has several smaller rooms, so we can set up a bunch of games at once!
Food
As usual, it's a potluck. The club will provide some basic drinks and munchies, but if you have a special dish you'd like to bring, please do.
There is a fridge, an oven, a stovetop, a microwave, and various electric outlets, in case you need to refrigerate or heat something.
Silly Gift Exchange
- Participation in the gift swap is entirely optional; you are more than welcome to come hang out with us, play board games, etc., without doing the gift thing.
- Rules
-
Price range for the gift swap: $15. You don't have to spend that much but that should be about the upper limit. For some cool stuff in that price range, consider:
- Think Geek
- Archie McPhee
- Your friendly local games stores, like SciFi Genre
- Used bookstores
- Light Years jewelry (one on Franklin St. in Chapel Hill, one in Southpoint Mall, Durham)
- Dragons, gargoyles, and fairies catalog: Dragons Unlimited
- Remember, kids are welcome here, so please — no suggestive gifts. Your cooperation is appreciated.
