TalonYou are on the archive wiki. The new wiki is here. Talon is the unofficial name of the slowly congealing society of ex-CLAWmembers and members of affiliated trades, who are not on campus. It's kind of official; there are two Google groups:
You can go there and join (at the moment Gnome will have to approve you), and decide if you want to receive the lists through email, or through email in a condensed form, or not through email at all (and just read them on the web). If you don't have or want a Google Groups account, try subscribing through email: What are we doing?We're trying to do something about the CLAWs library. It's currently in storage and not really being used, and the current CLAWmembers don't really want to keep all the old stuff (D&D 1st Ed., AD&D, assorted other ancient materials). Getting space on UCT campus seems as unlikely as ever; it looks like the only UCT option is convincing Special Collections to take it, and we don't know what would happen to it after that. So currently a proposed plan is for Talon to take over looking after the library, by splitting everything into logical parts (all the D&D, all the White Wolf, all the wargames, etc.) and distributing them to responsible people who will keep them in their houses, look after them, and let people visit and borrow them according to some reasonable arrangement. While splitting the library is obviously not as good a solution as keeping it all together, it's unlikely that anyone has enough room to store all of it in an accessible way. It's possible that if there's enough interest Talon could raise funds to rent space for a proper library, but if that is even feasible it is a long-term plan. If you are willing to host part of the library, or keen to help, or just interested in Talon in general (current CLAWmembers are welcome too), please subscribe to the list and say hello.
