New Stuff: June 10th

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Hello all of you happy gamers out there! It’s Thursday! And you know that means it’s time for another “New Stuff” newsletter! Although I’m not sure if New Stuff is a good title for it. But that’s another show. Anyway, here’s the new stuff for the week!

Cubicle 7
Victoriana: Faces in the Smoke

Fantasy Flight
Game of Thrones LCG Lords of Winter Expansion

GTM
Game Trade Magazine #124 (Come in and check this out. Put in your pre-order and you’ll get a 10% discount!)

Kenzer
Knights of the Dinner Table #163

Privateer Press
Forces of Warmachine Cryx Softcover

Steve Jackson Games
Munchkin Card Game (Revised Edition. These have color cards!)

Wizards of the Coast
D&D Player’s Strategy Guide

And of course, we have restocks!

Mongoose
Conan RPG 2nd Ed (Don’t know how long this is going to last since Mongoose doesn’t have the Conan license anymore. And the price dropped from $40 to $30!)

Steve Jackson Games
GURPS Basic Set Characters
GURPS Basic Set Campaigns
Zombie Dice (These are going fast! Terribly fast!)
Cthulhu Dice (These are going fast too! Last week we got in six copies and sold out before the weekend was over! And at less than $5, how can you go wrong?)

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!
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. Looks like there’s going to be a Dark Heresy game along with a War of the Worlds type RPG. We did get an update of some of the other games going to be run, and they are possibly Serenity, a Savage Worlds Aliens (from the movie), Cyberpunk 2020, and Shadowrun. I may have some of these wrong. But if you check out the Dead Gamers Society’s website, they will have everything up do date. 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.

It looks like the Malifaux league has gotten off to a good start. And it’s not too late to join and earn some points!

It looks like the Dungeons & Dragons Encounters had a 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 are interested in Pathfinder, check this out! Starting Sunday, June 13th, Jesse Burciaga will be running a Pathfinder game in the store. 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 six 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!
