Yesterday, Charlie and Bob got in a quick game (Charlie 7, Bob 2). Today Bob beat Colin (5v4).
On Saturday at 2 Filamena Young and David Hill will be giving a demo of their new RPG, Maschine Zeit.
“You never really know someone until they’re bleeding out in front of you. In Maschine Zeit, you’ll get to know everyone around you very well. Maschine Zeit is an RPG that emulates the sci-fi horror conventions of Alien, Dead Space, Event Horizon and Pandorum, using movie logic and dramatic appropriateness instead of trying to emulate realism.”
Magic draft is this Wednesday.
Upcoming Special Events
Sunday April 18th is the pre-release tournament for the new Magic set, Rise of the Eldrazi.
Saturday, May 8 will be Legend of the 5 Rings day. A single price will include a standard deck, a deck constructed by one of our advanced players and as many freebies as we can get to you. Details coming soon.
Sunday, May 23 is the Flames of War Tournament. If we get 12 players, we are a regional qualifier.

Well, the EPGS seemed to have a good time today. We had seven of their players spend a day with us. Several wargames were going on downstairs while a game of Le Havre played upstairs. We ended the day with a few more board games.
I’d save overall, it was a good day for everyone involved.
