    Its good to see that vdgc has a website up. When is the next meeting? I am a BFA animation student at csuf who is proficient in Maya and has worked with Unity, Z Brush before, and enjoys drawing. Would love to be part of any group design projects.

    Hi. I like the join the club. I’m a composition major at CSUF and the president of FREAKS the boardgame club here as well. Music is my game, and I can also give some insights from the point of view of a board gamer. Let me know when your next club meeting is. Thanks.
