|New Stuff: November 24th
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010
Welcome to a wild Wednesday! Wednesday? We usually send out our newsletters on Thursday! What’s going on? I’m sure you all figured out that tomorrow is Thanksgiving! And of course, Dicehouse Games will be closed. But have no fear, we got in our shipment in early! Just in time for Thanksgiving! So as you’re sitting there after dinner full of turkey and other goodness, you can peruse your new stuff! So on with the list!

Fantasy Flight Games
Lord of the Rings Silver Edition Board Game
World of Warcraft Board Game
World of Warcraft: Shadow of War Expansion

Dungeons & Dragons Essentials: Monster Vault Box
And of course, we have events!
This Friday we’ve got our usual Friday Night Magic! Come in with your standard deck and play! This event is growing and growing! See how other players are using the new Scars of Mirrodin in their decks. This month we’re giving out foil Gatekeeper of Malakir cards. Entry is still only $5.00! We begin around 6:00 pm. Yes, we will still be having FNM on Black Friday!
Of course, we still do have Saturday Booster Draft Tournaments. Come in and build your draft deck with Scars of Mirrodin! The entry fee is $15.00, but covers the three boosters you receive and prizes!
The new session of Dungeons & Dragons Encounters has begun! This time we’ve got Keep on the Borderlands! Encounters is run every Wednesday night at 6:00 pm! Come on in and play!
This past Sunday, Joe Sosta came in and ran Invasion From Outer Space. He and the group got in two games and it looks like they had a ton of fun! Special thanks to you, Joe, for coming in and running this demo! We look forward to more in the future!
The 11th of December will see the Dead Gamers Society come in and run their World of Darkness London Fog game! New and experienced players are welcome. Use one of the pre-generated characters available or bring your own Victorian-era beginning level character.
The first Sunday of the month, the Dead Gamers Society comes in and run a Geist game and a Haus of Mirrors game! New players are welcome! And of course, the third Saturday of the month, they come in for their famous Vampire: The Requiem game! Come in and be a blood sucker in the City of Angels!
As we get closer to the holidays, Dicehouse Games usually has a charity event, consisting of games to be played with an entry fee plus an auction. Of course, all proceeds will be going to a certain charity. So we’ve made the decision to go with Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC) for this year’s charity. Tuan will be running a Magic the Gathering Standard Tournament on Saturday at 1:00 pm. I will be running some sort of a Savage Worlds RPG adventure on Sunday, probably at 1:00 pm. We are looking for other volunteers to run games as well. If you would like to run a game, we ask that you be able to collect a $5.00 entry fee from all of the players. Also, if you would like to add any in-game bonuses, that would be great. For example, in the Savage Worlds game I will be running, if anyone wants to make a re-roll of the dice, they can do so for a dollar! We will also be having our usual auction at the end of the event on Sunday. So far, we’ve got Privateer Press sending us a signed copy of the Hordes MKII rulebook and signed posters! Chaosium has sent us several RPG books: Call of Cthulhu, Basic Roleplaying, Masks of Nyarlathotep, and The Yith Cycle! Fantasy Flight Games has sent us Warhammer Invasion and Android! Some of the other game companies who have said they will contribute to us is Mayfair Games, ToyVault, Goodman Games, and Cubicle Seven. Possibly even Wizards of the Coast will be sending some stuff our way. So when is this shindig going to happen? December 18th and 19th! I know it’s the weekend before Christmas, but do you really want to be out there shopping? And maybe you can win a game at the auction and give that as a gift? Either way, that weekend will be loads of fun!
So this week, Dicehouse Games was able to get in special orders for five people. That was nine items! Everyone who put in a special order receives a 10% discount. Looking for something we don’t have in stock? Special order it and you too can receive a 10% discount. If we haven’t been able to get your special order, chances are our distributor was out, but I guarantee that we are doing our best to find it from somewhere else!
That’s about it for this week! See you all in seven!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

The new session of Dungeons & Dragons Encounters has begun! This time we’ve got Keep on the Borderlands! Encounters is run every Wednesday night at 6:00 pm! Come on in and play!
In a small field, just outside of a sleepy town in 1940′s middle America, Martian Saucers hover in the night sky. Having chosen their first target, a large group of humans gathered around a traveling carnival on the outskirts of town, a legion of Martians march to war. But not all the Humans are defenseless. As the crowds flee in terror and are vaporized by the saucer’s death rays, one brave group of circus performers step forward to defend their planet – Earth’s first line of defense! This will be their greatest performance…and maybe their last. Invasion from Outer Space is a board game from the people who brought you Last Night on Earth. It uses the same mechanic as Last Night on Earth, so both games are compatible. Joe Sosta will be coming in to demo these games on November 21st! Come on in and join the fun. Learn to play. New players are welcome! **Please note, the date has changed from the 14th to the 21st.
The Dead Gamers Society will be coming in this Saturday (November 20th) to run their monthly Vampire game! Become a blood-sucker in the city of angels. The 11th of December will also see the Dead Gamers Society come in and run their World of Darkness London Fog game! New and experienced players are welcome.
