Starting a New Club (A 40 XP Blue Quest)

You've got a great idea for a school club!

The problem is that it's not an easy sell—it might be niche, it might be controversial, it might go against tradition or local mores. But you have a passion for the topic, and you want to make your dream a reality. You'll have to find a few people with similar interests, and a way to get the important people to sign off on it, if you can. Or maybe you'll fail miserably, but have met some kindred spirits.

Major Goals:

The HG can award you 5 XP towards this quest when you:

[ ] Get three people, not including yourself, to agree to join your club.
[ ] Field questioning from some authority (the student council president, the principal, a strict teacher) about why your club should be allowed to exist.
[ ] Find a quiet, out-of-the-way room that's perfect for your club business.
[ ] Make a bid for someone to be your faculty advisor.

You can earn each bonus once, for a total of 20 XP.
