FILLED TO CAPACITY!

I guess this isn’t a bad problem to have…unless you want to come in and sit down to play. There is no room! We have 28 players for our 40k tournament today. There is absolutely no room and we can’t make room anywhere for any more players in the store. Sorry. I’ll post when we have space. I expect that to be around 7 or 8 pm.

D&D 5.0???

January 10, 2012   cathleen.feduke

It sounds like Wizards has been listening to all the complaints about 4.0. They’re asking for input on a new version. Forget the nay-sayers who insist they don’t listen. Just like I don’t think you have a right to complain about politics if you don’t vote, you don’t have a right to complain about the path of their next edition if you don’t speak up. They’re clearly making an effort…(or the pessimist in me says maybe they’re just saying they’re making an effort.)

Forums Functional

January 09, 2012   Charles

The forums should now be functional with some additional spam account registration countermeasures put in place.  I also deleted all of the spam accounts – but I might’ve accidentally deleted valid accounts as well (but I don’t think so).  All user accounts are active; please have a go at making some posts so I know that the configuration is correct before I start testing out some of the forum themes available.

New Year, New Website!

January 02, 2012   cathleen.feduke

Our old website has outlived its usefulness and we’re on to bigger and better things. We’ll be adding content to this for awhile before it looks right so please bear with us. Some of this may already be here but here are the planned features:

  • Forums – sorry but this will not continue the old forums so everyone will have to create a new account. We’ll keep the old forums as an archive and provide a link but threads will not be connected from one to the other.
  • Blog – a running blog that will talk about upcoming products, tournaments, past tournaments, trends in the gaming community, or whatever strikes our fancy. We will also have guest bloggers who will write articles for us based on their experience either at a tournament or on something gaming related. If you have an article you want to write you’re welcome to tell me about it. If I think it should go up it will.
  • Calendar – a new and improved calendar that goes to 2012 and beyond! It’s sad that that excites me. We’ll get this up and running as soon as possible.
  • Upcoming Events – you’ve seen these on other pages. These will link directly to our calendar and will no longer have to be manually updated so they’ll be much more timely than they have been in the past.
  • Special Order Page
  • Online Store – yes – we’ll have a real online store at some point relatively soon! This will be the last addition to the page. Items on our online store will also be sold directly to you at our brick and mortar location for the same price. Don’t worry, I won’t screw the local players to benefit customers across the country.

        Come and play in our single-elimination EDH Tournament. All participants will receive a DCI Foil Promo card (while supplies last - first come first serve).

        We will play at tables of 4-7 players (aim for 4, but go to 7 players if we have to). At the end of each round the top two players from each table will move onto the next round until there are only 4-6 players left. All participants of the final table will get a percentage of the entry fees based on their place at the end of the game. 100% of the entry fees will be given as store credit in prizes. The first player booted from each table will receive an extra DCI Foil promo card of my choice as consolation.
