Algonquin Dragons

The Algonquin Dragons were a geek-oriented game club of Algonquin Heights students headed by Liam Kendall.Apocalypse 
== Description ==
The Algonquin Dragons were initially formed in 1984 by then-student Garth Denbrough, at the time, the group was primarily dedicated to hosting Advanced Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and sharing Star Trek fanfiction. Over the following three decades, the group would host a revolving door of members from fifth to eighth grade, the oldest of whom could be elected as leaders and gamemasters. All former members were thereafter immortalized in the form of illustrated portraits depicting them as a sci-fi/fantasy version of themselves which were laminated and added to the group's own rule book. The group came to be seen as a safe-haven for the school's artistic introverts and social outcasts.
By 2010, Algonquin Heights Middle School had cut down on many extracurricular activities, though the Dragons remained active due to the vouching of Denbrough, now a member of the local school board. The group would frequently assemble at noon for an hour-long lunch break and again for another hour after-school, although this was flexible depending on the member's individual schedules.
By this time, Liam Kendall was the head of the group, which for the first time in it's history, was entirely comprised of other eighth graders. Under his tenure, the group had shifted their role-playing focus away from Dungeons & Dragons to the fourth edition of Warhammer 40K (however, several other simpler games, such as Risk and Sorry! were kept at the ready as substitutes and alleviators). Many of the games and minifigures available were provided out of Denbrough's personal expenses. These campaigns were often long and complex, with Lyla Painter providing illustrations for.
This final group of members were also avid gamers, playing Halo 3, Left 4 Dead 2, StarCraft II, Runescape and Team Fortress 2 however, as the school had banned video games, these parties and events were held outside of school, typically on weekends.
