LADIES! Do you like comics? Do you like games? Do you just enjoy getting your geek on? Are you looking to make some awesome new friends? Then join us for LADIES NIGHT, hosted by our lady staff!
We meet at Palermo Pasta House in Round Rock. Meetings are on Wednesdays, and the fun kicks off at 7 and goes until around 9. We talk about all things geeky, from comics to games to movies. As adult content will most likely be discussed and as there will be alcohol present, we are making this an 18 and up event. Moms! You are welcome to bring your daughters! 15-17 is the preferred age group on that.
I would also like to add that we do not discriminate here at Rogues Gallery. If you identify as female in any way you are most welcome at our table.
Food. Booze. Good company. What more could you ask for?
We’d love it if y’all could RSVP on the Facebook event, just so we can get a rough headcount.
Hope to see you there! 🙂
Reading with Rogues in August – Through the Woods
Every second Tuesday, we hold our graphic novel reading club! This month, we’ll be holding it at Palermo’s Italian in Round Rock!
The next meeting is on Tuesday, August 11th, starting at 7 PM and running until we run out of stuff to talk about (usually about 9:30 PM). Folks can come and go as they please, and we should have plenty of room.
The managers of Rogues Gallery will be on hand to talk about comics and hopefully get everybody chatting… we’re hoping to extend the vibe of our New Comics Wednesdays to everyone who maybe doesn’t get a chance to talk comics with their regular group of friends, or just can’t get enough comics talk.
Each meeting of the graphic novel club will have a book we choose as a headliner. We’ll offer a 15% discount on that book from the time of the announcement to the night of the graphic novel club. While we’re perfectly happy to have you bring one you already bought, we’re hoping folks will choose to buy this book from us rather than download it digitally or buy it somewhere else, to help us keep funding these get-togethers.
This month we’re doing Through The Woods by Emily Carroll. The 15% off sale starts effective now, and will run until we close at 9 PM on Tuesday, July 15th. (It’s always a good idea to remind the clerk at checkout about the discount.)
We’d love for folks to RSVP on the Facebook event page just so we can have a rough headcount, but walk-ins are absolutely welcome. And while we’ll focus the discussions around the graphic novel of the month, we’ll almost certainly be talking about other comics and graphic novels. Also, for the time being, since there’s alcohol available, it’s later at night and we’re probably going to be offering graphic novels that are aimed at an older audience, we’re making this an 18 and up event. If parents want to bring their 15-17 year olds, that’s OK, but just be aware that we may be talking about mature subject matter in the discussions.
We look forward to talking comics with you!
Gaming with Rogues – Takenoko in July!
On the third Monday of every month, Rogues Gallery will sponsor a casual gaming night – each month will focus on a different game. The game night will begin at 7:00 PM and run until 9:00 PM (or longer if needed).
We’ll be playing at Kerby Lane Cafe in Round Rock!
This month’s game is on July 20th, and the game is Takenoko. In Takenoko, the players will cultivate land plots, irrigate them, and grow one of the three species of bamboo (Green, Yellow, and Pink) with the help of the Imperial gardener to maintain this bamboo garden. They will have to bear with the immoderate hunger of the sacred Panda for the juicy and tender bamboo. The player who manages his land plots best, growing the most bamboo while feeding the delicate appetite of the panda, will win the game.
So whether you’ve played Takenoko before or just want to try it out, come join us for Gaming with Rogues in July!
Reading with Rogues in July – East of West!
Every second Tuesday, we hold our graphic novel reading club! This month, we’ll be holding it at BJ’s Brewhouse in Round Rock!
The next meeting is on Tuesday, July 14th, starting at 7 PM and running until we run out of stuff to talk about (usually about 9:30 PM). Folks can come and go as they please, and we should have plenty of room.

Heroclix Ant-Man Tournament on Saturday, July 18th!
To celebrate the release of Marvel’s Ant-Man movie, Rogues Gallery will be one of a small number of stores hosting an exclusive Ant-Man tournament on the movie’s release weekend! Starting at 6 PM on Saturday, July 18th, players will play a sealed booster tournament and winners will recieve an exclusive Ant-Man Avengers ID card, not available anywhere else!
Buy-in is a War of Light, Superman and the Legion of Super-Heroes or Guardians of the Galaxy booster, each player will pick one figure from the booster and then pass it until they have 5 figures for their team. Players will compete in four-person tournaments in two single-elimination rounds, and the winners in each tournament (we have room for up to 3 tables of 4) will win an Ant-Man Avengers ID Card.
Magic The Gathering Magic Origins Prerelease on Sunday, July 12th!
FIRST ROUND BEGINS AT NOON – SECOND ROUND BEGINS AT 4:00 – PRE-REGISTRATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Rogues Gallery will be holding two prerelease events for Magic: The Gathering’s new set, Magic Origins, on Sunday, July 12th! We recommend that you call or email ahead to preregister, because we have limited space and tend to fill up well before the day of the event itself. We have room for 16 players in the first event, beginning at noon, and 16 players in the second event, beginning at 4:00 PM. If space allows, we are happy to allow players to play in both prerelease tournaments… players will have to buy-in to both tournaments, you cannot carry over cards or decks from the first prerelease into the second. In addition, of late we’ve had folks sign up and not show up, so if you don’t get in on your preferred time, you are welcome to sign up as an alternate or to come in on the day and try to get available spaces.
Registration will begin at noon on July 12th. We’ll begin the first event at 12:30 with 30 minutes to construct your decks, and the pre-release will run 3 rounds from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM or so. Please note that if you are preregistered, you must arrive by 12:15 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.
The second tournament will begin registration at 4:00, and the tournament will start as close to 4 PM as we can manage, with 30 minutes to construct your decks. Please note for those preregistered, you must arrive by 4:00 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.
Prerelease packs will be $25.99 plus tax. You must buy a pack for each tournament you enter, and we will reserve color of pack on a first-come, first-serve basis.
We will allow walk-ins for both tournaments if the space is not filled, but we encourage preregistration, as we generally fill up fairly quickly. In addition, because there are two events, and because the second event may run later than our usual closing time, we won’t be able to offer trading or casual place space after the tournaments end.
Prize support will be in the form of Magic Origins boosters. We award boosters for each round you win, and anyone who doesn’t win a booster will get one as a participation prize. The remainder are divided up into first, second and third prizes.
In addition to the main prerelease tournament events, if space allows, we will offer open dueling, allowing any player who wants to play to purchase 1 Magic Origins Intro Pack to play against each other, as well as prerelease tournament players who are between matches.

Comic Grab Bags this Summer!
It’s summer, and that means in theory everybody’s got a little extra reading time. And we want to help our Wednesday regulars fill that time with comics! So for a limited time, everyone who spends $20 or more on Wednesday (New Comics Day) will be entered into a drawing to win a grab bag of comics that Thursday.
Actually, that’s not quite right. It’s more like a grab box, filled with 100-150 random comics from Marvel, DC, Image and other publishers. We can’t promise full story arcs, but we are packing each box so there aren’t any duplicates, and there are a lot of good picks in the mix! We’ll give away a few boxes each week until we run out, somewhere near the end of summer.
So if you needed another excuse to come out on Wednesdays during the summer… now you’ve got one!
