What is MSC Nova
MSC Nova is a student committee formed under the auspices of the Student Programs Office (SPO), which is in turn a part of the Memorial Student Center (MSC) which is in turn part of Texas A&M. I'll put the actual mission of the committee here when I find it, but for now, it is dedicated to recreation through various gaming activities. These gaming activities include board games and role-playing games.The committee also sponsors two conventions every year. Warcon, held in the spring (usually at the beginning of February), is the oldest known continuously running wargaming convention in Texas. Novacon, held in the fall, is a small con aimed at providing committee members with a training event in advance of Warcon. For more information, visit the MSC Nova home page.
Why this web site exists...
This web site exists for two reasons. First, this site exists as a focal point for old novads who want to find each other to continue the friendships that they found as a result of their participation in the group.Second, this web site is our way of passing on our knowledge, experience and support to the Newvads who have followed us. Quite a number of us expressed interest in leaving this kind of information behind, possibly as a notebook or something. Of course, this was never done. Even if it were done, physical objects like notebooks are obsolete the moment they are created. Also, they can get lost or be destroyed. Actively maintained web sites, on the other hand, can be maintained and updated forever.
So, for those of you who follow in our footsteps - hope this helps!
