Welcome To The WatSFiC WebSpace!
WatSFiC is the University of Waterloo's Science
Fiction, Fantasy, and Gaming Club. Originally founded to promote interest
in science fiction literature, the club's mandate has since broadened to
include all forms of science fiction and fantasy media.
Today, WatSFiC is a UW institution, boasting the
second longest running AD&D-Format Tournament
in North America, an extensive library of science
fiction, fantasy, and gaming literature, and such prestigious alumni as Jose Garcia,
president of Daedalus Games - the publisher of the ShadowFist
trading card game and the Feng Shui roleplaying game (now published by Atlas Games).
On campus, WatSFiC maintains an office
nowhere, but pretend we own the Comfy Lounge sometimes, and holds weekly meetings.
