I’ll give a quick list of some new items!
Claustrophobia and Dixit 2 from Asmodee games. Battletech: Technical Readout: 3060. Rogue Trader: Lure of the Expanse. Aces & Eights: Shootist’s Guide. All Things Zombie!
And a restock on Magic the Gathering boosters, Pokemon boosters, Privateer Press models, and much more!!
Alas, our plan to bring in the Games Workshop paint line has been put on hold. Games Workshop does not have any of the paint racks to display the paints!! When they do, we will get them in asap!

I love a full gaming area, and that is just what we had going today in the store. Call of Cthulhu RPG event, Warmachine games, Magic the Gathering games, Monsterpocalypse tournament, Blood bowl, and Dark Heresy RPG. Full of gaming goodness!!

So, I just ordered a bunch of these bags. They are a little pricey compared to the other companies, but at the same time, they are the best quality bags. The Warmachine/Hordes bags come full of pre-cut foam that is supposed to fit the figures for said game. I was skeptical. Turns out, I like it!! See pics! First is all my Cygnar figs on the table. Second is them in the foam, third is the bag itself.
I still have a few big and medium size holes left to fill. The only figs I had problems with were the Thunderhead with his arm out to the side, one standard bearer and a few figs needed some leftover foam from other things to pad figs to keep them from bending a long lance and such. Overall, I’m impressed. The bag also had many nooks and pockets to store all your books and supplies. Very cool.

We also just recieved the Warmachine and Hordes cases from Battlefoam! These are the best quality cases on the market for your miniatures! The pre-cut foam is specifically designed to hold your Warmachine and Hordes miniatures!!
Woo Hoo! I’m snakin’ a case for myself!

Patrick Benson was kind enough to run a game of Dread for our esteemed guests! He based the RPG story on excerpts from their books! Cool!

It’s happening as I write this! Scott Markus, author of “Voices From the Chicago Grave”, and Ursula Bielski author of “Chicago Haunts 3″ are here! They are talking about their books and the entire subject of ghosts and hauntings in the Chicago area. They will be signing copies of their books all evening (hope we ordered enough)!
Later Scott will show and talk about the music video he was involved in for the band “Ok Go”.

We started out with a 10 player Mordheim battle royal as the main event. Each player took control of one character, with the evil side coming out victorious in the end! Piled on top of that, we had plenty of Bloodbowl games going on, along with some Magic the Gathering and a few Warhammer 40,000 players duking it out. To round out the day, we had our Rifts RPG group play another session of their campaign.

Looks like Tuesday night Warhammer 40k may be here to stay! We had a total of 9 players tonight, up from the original 3! There will be the occasional Tuesday that something else is going on, but most of the time 40k will be here!

We had our best turnout yet! Including a few new players, and for the future, there were a couple gamers who decided to get back into magic after seeing the nice turnout we had! Prizes included 6 people winning booster packs, everyone recieved a foil Worldwake card, and we raffled off a Worldwake poster and a Magic bag/backpack. I may have to start selling singles if more people ask!
In other happenings, there was a lot of Bloodbowl played for our league, we are in week 5 of 9. Warmachine hit the table. Monsterpocalypse was demoed! And a Dark Heresy RPG group played through the evening!
Lots of gaming goodness!
