ORGANIZATION: Eccentric Wizards Club
|
|
|
|
MEMBERSHIP: All wizards who appreciate the weirder things in life.
|
|
Wizards who enjoy new, exciting, innovatative, sometimes strange,
|
|
sometimes different, sometimes nutty things belong to this club. The
|
|
club's motto is
|
|
|
|
"There are no bad ideas!"
|
|
|
|
With this motto, a member must accept everything and never critize
|
|
others. This is why the more hard-core wizard types ridicule the club
|
|
for its haphazard therories, crazy spells, useless items, and bad-taste
|
|
manipulation of the fine art of magic craft. Even with this criticism,
|
|
the club manages to have a large membership, which can produce useful
|
|
things that their critics end-up using.
|
|
|
|
NEW MEMBER REQUIREMENTS: A new member must pay an entrance fee of 1000
|
|
sp. Additionally, the prospective member must demonstrate an active
|
|
interest of eccentibilty to the Membership Board. This pledge can be
|
|
research into a strange magic item or spell, a collection of pecuilir
|
|
things, a speech of insanity, etc. One prospective member built a
|
|
magical marshmellow castle guarded by marshmellow golems because he
|
|
believes that marshmellow is the fifth element. In fact, he has over
|
|
1,000 books, most written by him, to prove his point. The Membership
|
|
Board accepted his pledge for membership immediately.
|
|
|
|
ANNUAL DUES: A due of 100 sp is collected annually. This due will cover
|
|
use of the clubs facilities. A member must also annually report on a
|
|
current project he is working on and it must be innovated, different,
|
|
and wacko. If not the membership may be revoked.
|
|
|
|
BENEFITS: The organization collects strange and unusual things: items,
|
|
spells, documents, information, etc.. These things are made avaiable to
|
|
the members through auctions, the catalog, library, word-of-mouth,
|
|
etc.. The club is spread throughout Oerth through chapters. Each
|
|
chapter has a library, meeting hall, museum, and laboratories for
|
|
research. As long as a menber pays his dues, the facility is open to
|
|
him.
|
|
The club offers grants and scholarships to projects it feels will
|
|
be of great benefit. A wizard may apply for these and could get a nice
|
|
sum of money for his studies.
|
|
Every year the club sends its members The Eccentric Wizard Club's
|
|
Wish Catalog, which contains items that the wizard can purchase.
|
|
New members receive a introductory kit. First, the new member gets
|
|
an official membership ring. This ring allows its members free access
|
|
to any of the chapters located throughout the continent. The kit also
|
|
contains a book, There Are No Bad Ideas: EWC Handbook, which contains
|
|
an introduction to the organization (history, purpose, alumni, etc.),
|
|
rules of the organization (membership, dues, meetings, board, etc.),
|
|
and stories of its innovation. The new member also receives a
|
|
complimentary six-pack of cans containing Pepsi, a bubbly drink the
|
|
members constantly drink; a small horseshoe that attracts metal; a
|
|
collection of colored doughs that are fun to play with; thin coiled
|
|
wire that walks down stairs; and a amulet that changes color when the
|
|
mood of the wearer changes.
