Assault on Icecrown is here! Since the Pathfinder GM flip mats have been doing well, I bought one of every available one. Also, AEG just sent us a demo copy of their new deck building game, Nightfall.

Someone asked the other day what our most popular miniature game was.
Because of the escalation league, Flames of War currently has the most games played in store. But when I ran a breakdown for each company to see where I made the most profit in the last 90 days, I actually got these results:
Privateer makes both Warmachine/Hordes. For Games Workshop (GW) we only stock 40K, but we’ll order anything the crowd asks for.
Spartan games makes Dystopian Wars, Uncharted Seas and Firestorm Armada. Currently, they are going through growing pains and can’t keep up with demand. If they get that straightened out, I expect this line to jump up.
Reaper is the default miniature company for fantasy RPGs.
“Other” is the catch all for a couple dozen companies that make up less than 1% each.
Over 6000 sleeves arrived today.
Due to UPS delivering today’s shipment to my neighboor – and NOT telling me – there is no picture of ton of Fluxx or the Flames of War order that arrived today.
Munchkinomicon – the newest Munchkin expansion; Automobile – the new resource management game from Mayfair; and the usual random restocks.
This Saturday is EPGS Saturday for board games all day.
Also at 1, Bob Fanelli will be running a Gladiator miniatures game starting at 1PM. It will involve man to man combat, and perhaps a general tourney using the Arena Games rules and the handsome figures Frank Anderson painted. The game is open to all and rules will be taught as the game goes.
Simultaneous there will be a World of Warcraft Booster draft.
A reminder, we recently had two people towed from VFW lot during a large event. Since we don’t own that space, you may park there at your own risk.
Magic players, we have two new promo cards, Master’s Call and Plague Myr. The only way to get them is to play a casual game anytime on Tuesday or Wednesday night on the off week for the draft. If you play Archenemy, you’ll also get the Archenemy promo card.
Jim Ruh has started a homebrewed campaign for D&D 3.5 called Emerald Isles at 1:00 on Sundays. He currently has 3 players. If you are interested in joining, drop me a note.
