Here's where we'll put info about TrueScheme. My first suggestion is we don't mention the word "TD" for fear this page will turn up in a google search I'll try to get this page not to be indexed, but for safety, don't say "TD".
If you need an account on the wiki to change things, email dosman ]at[ packetsniffers d o t org. and he'll get you one. Mention you are with TrueScheme.

[edit] Room Ideas
- Jenett: I'm building an infrared harp which should be done in a couple of weeks. I want to incorporate that into a room somehow. Here's what I'm now picturing. Eight wooden lion heads are mounted on the wall. Eventually the players figure out that if they stick their hands in the lion's mouth, a tone is produced. The party has to then position themselves around the room, each taking a note, and then collectively play a tune in order to proceed.

[edit] Project Time Line
[edit] Date
- We should do this on a Saturday and then party and hang out Saturday night
- We have an inside to when Jeff makes trips to Indy. We'll try to coordinate this with one of those trips and Jeff can just make a side-trip to Bloomington.
[edit] Place
- This will be held at Bloominglabs which is a hackerspace in Bloomington, IN. We have a 1,000 sq ft place that would be perfect for this. The hackerspace members I have talked to so far have said we could do it there, and some of them may be interested in helping.
