Free RPG Day on Saturday, June 21st!

freelogoRogues Gallery is proud to announce that we will be hosting Free RPG Day on Saturday, June 21st!

All day long (or at least, as long as supplies last) we’ll have free RPGs for anyone who comes in. Due to the limited supply, we limit customers to two choices per person, and we do expect to run out before the end of the day, so get here early for the best selection!

If you have any interest in running an RPG demo for us (or if you’d like us to demo a particular RPG) drop us a line at roguesgallerytx@gmail.com!

Magic The Gathering Journey Into Nyx Prerelease in April!

mtgnyxFIRST ROUND BEGINS AT NOON – SECOND ROUND BEGINS AT 3:30 – PRE-REGISTRATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
Rogues Gallery will be holding two pre-release events for Magic: The Gathering’s newest set, Journey Into Nyx, on Sunday, April 27th! We recommend that you call or email ahead to pre-register, 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 3:30 PM. If space allows, we are happy to allow players to play in both pre-release tournaments… players will have to buy-in to both tournaments, you cannot carry over cards or decks from the first pre-release 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 April 27th. 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 (at the latest). Please note that if you are pre-registered, 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 3:30, 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 pre-registered, you must arrive by 3:45 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.

We will allow walk-ins for both tournaments if the space is not filled, but we encourage pre-registration, 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 Journey Into Nyx boosters.

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 Journey Into Nyx Intro Pack to play against each other, as well as Prerelease tournament players who are between matches.
