Whew! Is that enough for you? So, what about events? Let’s take a look!
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.
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!
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 come in the second Sunday of the month (November 14th) to run their monthly Geist Game! Come in for a ghostly good time! They will also be running a World of Darkness Haus of Mirrors this day as well! This is the same game Julie Scott ran at the Rendezvous, but will be ongoing! Woot!
The DGS also come in the third Saturday of the month (November 20th) to run their monthly Vampire game! Become a blood-sucker in the city of angels. The 13th of November will also see the Dead Gamers Society come in and run their World of Darkness London Fog game!
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. This year, we are either going to be donating to Children’s Hospital of Orange County or Make a Wish Foundation. Looks like we’re leaning towards CHOC. We will keep you posted on this. We already have a signed copy of Hordes MKII and posters coming in from Privateer Press.
So this week, Dicehouse Games was able to get in special orders for nine people. That was sixteen 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!

It was a really fun time! And as many of you know, we have a shortage of chairs due to people leaning back in them and breaking. So to those of you who brought in your own chairs, we sincerely thank you! This day was so big that we went through all the boosters that Wizards of the Coast sent to us for the event.

And if that wasn’t enough, the Dead Gamers Society will be coming in on the 24th for their famous Dicehouse Rendezvous! “What is that?” you may ask. The Rendezvous is a day where they take over Dicehouse Games and run a variety of different roleplaying games throughout the day! So what will they be running on the 24th? 9 different games to fit your fancy! Let me do a little cut and paste for you all!
Update to the Fall RPG Rendezvous at DiceHouse.

Updates added to the schedule below
The Dead Gamers Society presents the Fall RPG Rendezvous. This is our quarterly micro RPG con at DiceHouse were we play some of todays most intriquing RPG’s, this is our chance to try some non-World of Darkness RPG’s. Think of it like an RPG wine tasting.
To RSVP for these fine games, visit the DGS website at
http://www.meetup.com/Dead-Gamers-Society/
The schedule is as follows.
10:00 am to 2:00pm
-Dungeon Crawl Classics Session 1
Joe Goodman of Goodman Games will be on hand playtesting Dungeon Crawl Classics the Roleplaying Game. Dungeon Crawl Classics brings back the feel and ease of Dungeon and Dragons as it was conceived in it’s early days, inspired by Robert E Howard’s Conan, Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser and the classics of sword and sorcery.
-A Song of Fire and Ice Roleplaying
Presenting Green Ronin’s Song of Fire and Ice Roleplaying. For years, readers have thrilled to the saga of Westeros as told in George R.R. Martin’s best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series. Now you can tell your own tales of the Seven Kingdoms and play the game of thrones in A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying. This is GM’d by Chris Czerniak.
-World of Darkness: Haus of Mirrors
Like Alice through the looking glass, this game takes you a trip through the World of Darkness like you never seen it before. With the recent publication of World of Darkness Mirrors, the window in which we see the World of Darkness has shattered and we now see a world twisted, frayed and mutated, but no less scary and mysterious. The Haus of Mirrors beckons you, come…enter. This is GM’d by Geist GM, Julie Scott.
-All Flesh Must Be Eaten
All Flesh Must Be Eaten is a roleplaying game set in a world of survival horror. A world where the dead have come back from their graves. You have no clue as to why they have returned but one thing is certain… They crave living flesh! Zombie games never get old and this is one of the best. This game is GM’d by Joe Sosta
3:00pm to 7:00pm
-Dungeon Crawl Classics Session 2
Joe Goodman brings more classic adventuring where stalwart heroes braved dark dungeons in search of treasure and glory.
-Gamma World 4th Edition
The D&D Gamma World Roleplaying Game offers hours of rollicking entertainment in a savage land of adventure, where the survivors of some mythical future disaster must contend with radioactive wastes, ravaged cities, and rampant lawlessness. Against a nuclear backdrop, heroic scavengers search crumbled ruins for lost artifacts while battling mutants and other perils. This is DM’d by Joel Arellano
-Leverage the Roleplaying Game
Based on the popluar TV Shoe, the Leverage Role Playing Game puts you in the middle of a dysfunctional but highly-specialized group of con-artists, criminals, and crooks who are trying to turn over a new leaf. You protect the victims of corporations, mobsters, and corrupt politicians by using your expert skills to outwit and overcome the real bad guys. Using the award-winning Cortex System as its foundation, the Leverage RPG includes all the rules you need to create a team of rogues, plan a job, and get it done… even if it means going to Plan B. This game is GM’d by Tim James
-Savage Worlds: Weird War II
In the horror of war, dark things rise, and World War II is history’s greatest conflict. The Japanese stalk the jungles of Southeast Asia. Carriers battle in the South Pacific. Tanks trundle across North Africa. Planes duel over England. The Nazi blitzkrieg conquers most of Europe with a genocidal madman at the controls. Prepare to battle the evil of the Axis powers and the hideous things that rise in their wake. This isn’t just war-this is Weird War! This game is GM’d by Mike Cantin
-Unknown Armies
In Unknown Armies, players take the roles of movers and shakers in the occult underground, fighting a battle for the ultimate prize: ascension to a higher plane and a hand in creating the next incarnation of reality. Loathsome monsters, bizarre supernatural forces, mind-bending magic, warring cults, and ten thousand bullets — it’s a pulp apocalypse, and the players have front-row seats for the steel-cage death match of all eternity. GM Steve Ramirez will bring his twisted mind for the forey into Unknown Armies
Yes, you read that right. Joseph Goodman will be at Dicehouse Games play testing his new RPG. This is a day you will not want to miss! No, really. You don’t want to miss it at all!
So this week, Dicehouse Games was able to get in special orders for seven 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!
