|New Stuff: September 22nd
Thursday, September 22nd, 2011
Hello all of you happy gamers out there! Welcome to another Thursday! That means we’ve got some new stuff! Actually, we only have one new item in today, but it’s a pretty cool one!
Z-Man Games
The Walking Dead Board Game! (Yes, this is finally out! And this is the comic book version of the game. There is another version based off of the TV series coming out soon!)
Yep, that’s pretty much it for new stuff. But we did get in quite a bit in restocks, but it might not look like it from the list.
Chessex
D10 Dice Sets
Poly Dice Sets
(If I were to list all of the restocks, there would be 60 sets of dice on here!)
Fantasy Flight Games
Call of Cthulhu Arkham Horror Board Game
Wizards of the Coast
Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition Player’s Handbook
Yep, that’s it. Now onto our 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! Entry is still only $5.00! We begin around 6:00 pm.
Also this Saturday at 6:00 pm, we will have our regular Magic the Gathering Saturday Night Booster Draft. Only $15.00 for this event, but that covers all your boosters and prizes!
Mark this on your calendars: September 24th! We will be having the Magic the Gathering Innistrad Pre-Release Event! This will be a sealed event! What does that mean? Entry is only $25.00 and that gets you six boosters to build a deck with! Then we have a tournament! You also get free foil promo cards! We are taking sign-ups now! We will not do any over the phone sign-ups. You must come into the store!
So not only are we doing the Innistrad Pre-Release, we’re also going to have the Launch Party one week later! That’s right! As if holding a huge event on the 24th isn’t enough, we want to do it all again the next Saturday! But we’ll be giving away a different foil promo card! Stay tuned for details!
And in case you were wondering, the new MTG Innistrad cards will go on sale the Friday right before the Launch Party!
For those of you who came in on Sunday the 11th for our Board Game Night, you may have seen we were quite busy! So don’t miss out on the first Sunday in October for our next Board Game Night. We start at 5:00pm and go until 10:00pm. That’s right, we stay open late for this! Mark Hom comes in and sets up several games to be played! By the way, did I mention this event is free?!
So we’ve got details for the Dead Gamers Society’s Rendezvous! Here it is directly from the DGS page!

Enter the world of best-selling author Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, where the creatures of the NeverNever lurk around every corner, prowl through every shadow.

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!

All kinds of poly sets. Over 100 sets!
Wizards of the Coast
D&D Players Strategy Guide
So this weekend is Father’s Day! So from us at Dicehouse Games, we want to wish all of you dads a Happy Fathers Day! And if you’re still looking for a gift for your gamer dad, we do have gift certificates!
So let’s get into the events that are coming up!
As many of you know, we have Friday Night Magic (FNM) going on at 6:00pm every Friday (that’s why it’s called Friday Night Magic!) and Saturday Night Booster Draft at 6:00pm every Saturday (of course).
We will also be having more Magic tournaments coming soon!
This Saturday, we have the Archenemy Multiplayer Release – 6/19 (This new format looks very cool! Sort of like a raid in World of Warcraft!)
M11 Pre-release – 7/10 & 7/11 (The Wizards of the Coast reps came in and talked a little about this and it promises to be as good as M10!)
M11 Launch – 7/17 & 7/18
M11 Game Day – 8/14
The Dead Gamers Society will also be coming in June 27th to run another fun day full of gaming! It looks like it will be a Sci-Fi day! That’s right! All games will have a Sci-Fi theme. The games scheduled for Sunday are: Star Wars (from West End Games!), Dark Heresy, Aliens 5 (Savage Worlds). These three will be run from 10:00am (that’s right, we’re opening early) until 2:00pm. We break for lunch for about an hour. Starting at 3:00pm, we’ve got Serenity, Aliens Invade the Drive-In (World of Darkness), and Cthulhu Rising. These three will run until about 7:00pm. Also, word has it that the Dark Heresy game is so popular, a second game might possibly be run in the afternoon! These days are always packed and everyone has a great time.
The Dead Gamers Society also comes into the store twice a month to run other White Wolf games. Right now, the first Sunday of the month, Geist is run. And on the third Saturday of the month, they come in and run Vampire the Requiem.
The Malifaux league continues! So far it’s been going well. It’s never too late to join if you’re interested in coming down to check it out. We usually have people here on Sundays playing, although this Sunday may be slow due to Father’s Day.
It looks like the Dungeons & Dragons Encounters had another great turn out! If you missed out, check out what it’s all about. This time the encounters will be featuring the new Dark Sun Campaign Setting coming out this summer! Participate each week in an encounter that’s part of an ongoing campaign, played out over the course of a few months. Plus you’ll earn “renown” points as you defeat enemies, solve puzzles, and complete quests – then get cool, exclusive rewards to use in your future D&D games. The more you play, the greater your renown. Dicehouse Games will be welcoming Jeff Poole as your Dungeon Master in the Dark Sun Encounters sessions. Each session will start at 6:00 pm and run about two hours every Wednesday night. Jeff does ask you show up about 15 minutes ahead of time on the first session in order to get everyone signed up and characters out. If you’ve never played D&D before, that’s OK. Beginners are more than welcome. And you don’t need to bring your own character. One will be provided for you. If you have any questions about the Encounters event, you can contact Jeff at perrina39@hotmail.com or call him at 714-742-1086. This event is limited to about 4 to 6 players, so we will be taking sign ups. So if you’re interested (and we are expecting lots of people wanting to participate), please give Dicehouse a call or come in and sign up!
For those of you who were going to play in Jesse’s Pathfinder game, he apologizes for the delay. He had car problems and had to postpone the game. He will be rescheduling the game and details will come when we get them! But in case you are interested, here are the details of the game itself: Come on in with a level 1 character or create one in the store with Jesse! We are looking for about 4 or 5 regular players to come in on Sundays and play a regular campaign. So sign up now! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jesse at his email address: pariah77@hotmail.com. He will be happy to answer an questions you may have!
This week, Dicehouse was able to fill special orders for three people! They all get 10% off their order! Looking for something that we don’t have in stock? Special order it and you too can receive 10% off! Oh yeah, and pre-orders get a 10% discount too! Come in and check out the new GTM magazine and pre-order what you want!
That’s about it for this week. See you again here in 7!
