COVID, July, D&D and Magic

COVID

Back in June we decided we would be holding events, but to limit seating to people that can show proof of vaccination. At this time, we plan on keeping that policy until the overall vaccination rate greatly improves.
We do not require vaccination to shop, provided that shoppers wear a mask.
Our delivery service is still available to people that want to be extra cautious.

July & Beyond

Between our Magic prerelease events, and people eager to go out and play with friends, we had our best July ever.
Going forward, we are running into the same problems as everyone: new games are being delayed, and our warehouses can’t always restock things. If you had told me a year ago we’d have a shortage of cardboard boxes for storing cards, I wouldn’t have believed you. We are trying to load up on the staples, but expect occasional shortages of everything as we approach the winter.
If you know of an upcoming release you are interested in, please let us know so that we put in early orders for it.

D&D

For a variety of reasons, most of our old Dungeon Masters have not returned. We still have one table with seats open if anyone wants to jump in.

Magic

This Sunday, 8/22, at 1:00 we are going to hold a draft using the Mystery Booster Convention Edition. Because these booster are higher price than usual, it will be a $45 draft.
In September, Innistrad Midnight Hunt will release. In the next few days there sign-ups for the prerelease, and booster boxes preorders, on our website.

Feel free to contact us with reasonable questions: staff@7thDimensionGames.com, on our discord site, or on our Facebook Page.

Magic Draft

This Sunday, 7/25, at 1:00 we are going to start holding Magic Drafts again. This week will be Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. After the event we will take a quick survey to see which set we should draft the following week.

Feel free to contact us with reasonable questions: staff@7thDimensionGames.com, on our discord site, or on our Facebook Page.

Someday, we will sit around a table and play again. Stay safe until then!

Magic the Gathering: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Prerelease Event

The newest Magic the Gathering set is set in the D&D World of the Forgotten Realms.

July 16th-18th we will be running seven different prerelease events for the newest set of Magic the Gathering, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. Our old school D&D players are familiar with this realm from years of D&D lore.

Big things to remember:

  1. We will only be seating people that have shown us proof of vaccination.
  2. We are capping all events at 20 players, and expect to sell out.

For all of the events, you will get a box containing 6 packs of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, 3 foil double-sided Dungeon cards, a rare card that is foil with the date stamped on it, and a spin down die. Players will then build 40 card decks and compete.

Wizards of the Coast has created a Magic Companion App that can be downloaded to your smart phone. If you could take the time to download the app and preregister with the event code, it would save both of us time.

Our first event is an experiment: Friday, the 16th, we will start an event at 3PM and run just two rounds. Anyone that plays both rounds will get 2 prize packs.

The other 6 events will be our usual 4 round events, 1 prize pack per round won.

  • Friday, the 16th, 7 PM
  • Saturday, the 17th, 9AM
  • Saturday, the 17th, 2PM
  • Saturday, the 17th, 7PM
  • Sunday, the 18th, 12PM
  • Sunday, the 18th, 6PM

Please reserve your seats now!

Last note, Set boxes are also now on sale.

D&D event

If you were a DM for our Wednesday night D&D sessions, please contact the store. We are trying to plan out July’s reopening.

Feel free to contact us with reasonable questions: staff@7thDimensionGames.com, on our discord site, or on our Facebook Page.

In store events

Starting in July, we will be slowly opening for in-store events. If you wish to participate, we will ask you to voluntarily show your vaccination record. After showing us that you have been vaccinated against COVID-19, we will allow you to play in events without wearing a mask. On July 16th when we run events for the new set of Magic you will be able to buy a prerelease kit and go home to play, or to show us your vaccination card and play here with us.

If you have yet to be vaccinated, we urge you to use https://www.vaccines.gov/search/ to find a location near you.

Feel free to contact us with reasonable questions: staff@7thDimensionGames.com, on our discord site, or on our Facebook Page.

Stay safe!

Are you running games yet?

The governor of Pennsylvania has stated that the mask order will be lifted when 70% of Pennsylvanians have taken a COVID vaccine. Rather than actively police people, asking for proof of vaccine and continuously asking people to adjust their mask, 7th Dimension Games has decided to wait until the mask order is lifted to start having events.
As of today, only 35% of Pennsylvanians are fully vaccinated.

70 % of people create herd immunity

Strixhaven Prerelease
