New Stuff: January 13th

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Hey you guys! Welcome to another thrilling Thursday at Dicehouse Games! So it looks like we’ve got another pretty decent restock day instead of new stuff. But it wouldn’t be a “New Stuff” newsletter without actual new stuff.

Reaper Miniatures
Gerrin Goblinkicker, Dwarf Hero
Mousling Heroes: Bard, Thief, Knight
Fire Beetles
Plague Doctor (Pathfinder)

Yeah, that’s it. I’m guessing game companies need some time to get back into the swing of things before sending out a barrage of new stuff for us! But here’s the restocks!

Atlas Games
Gloom Card Game

Flying Frog
Last Night on Earth – The Zombie Game

Looney Labs
Monty Python Fluxx

Playroom Entertainment
Killer Bunnies Red Booster
Killer Bunnies White Booster

Paizo
Pathfinder RPG Core Rules
Pathfinder RPG GameMastery Guide

Steve Jackson Games
Zombie Dice
Munchkin

Wizards of the Coast
Inn-Fighting
Castle Ravenloft Board Game
Dungeons & Dragons Essentials Rules Compendium
Betrayal at House on the Hill Board Game

Whew! Not bad, huh?

So events? 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. Entry is still only $5.00! We begin around 6:00 pm.

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!

The Dead Gamers Society always comes in every month to run a few games. This month was no different! On Saturday the 8th, the DGS ran London Fog! It is their monthly game set in Victorian London (of course). I believe they will be back on February 12th.

On Sunday the 9th, A Day of Darkness with the Dead Gamers Society! They ran three games for you: Geist the Sin-Eaters, World of Darkness Mirrors, and for the first time, Mage the Awakening! We had a full house for this one! I believe they will be here either February 6th or the 13th. I’m sure Louis will clarify that for us soon.

For more information, check out the Dead Gamers Society Facebook page or on Meetup.com.

So this week, Dicehouse Games was able to get in special orders for four people. That was six 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!

See how other players are using the new Scars of Mirrodin in their decks. This month we’re giving out foil Wild Nacatl cards. Entry is still only $5.00! We begin around 6:00 pm.

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!

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.

On December 19th, 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 ten people. That was seventeen 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!
