Star Trek Attack Wing Tournament on Tuesday, December 10th!

stattWe will be hosting a tournament for Star Trek Attack Wing on Tuesday, December 10th, starting at 6:30 PM and ending around 9 PM, with 3 45 minute rounds. Players will be playing for the Dominion War month 4 prize kit.

The Admiral’s Orders for  January (since this kit is technically a December/January kit) are OK to bring to the table. United Force and Strike Force specifically.

100 SP. You may use anything that has been released for purchase already and anything from the month 3 OP kit (or earlier). Anything from the month 4 OP kit are NOT allowed this time.

Also, please note that we will begin promptly @ 6pm. Please have your fleet/sheets ready to go before then so we can start at a timely fashion. If you are not ready, but your opponent is ready, then the person that is ready will be awarded extra points. If we can start on time, then we can up the round time to 50 minutes.

Lastly, we will again have the $5 buy-in or purchase one ship at the store. We have recently gotten in the newest batch of ships including the USS Excelsior, the IKS Koraga, the RIS Vo and the Dominion Koranak. You can call the store early if you want and try and reserve a ship for that night if you want.

DC Super-Pets Encyclopedia Back in Stock!

dcsuperpetsHave you heard of DC’s SUPER-PETS? It started as a line of books for very young readers. Spotlighted the adventures of known super-pets like Krypto and Ace the Bat-Hound, but also created an entire world of dozens of superhero (and supervillain) pets.

The books are super-cute, but today we’re specifically extolling the virtues of the DC SUPER-PETS ENCYCLOPEDIA, which just came back into stock! You don’t have to be a kid to love its dozens and dozens of fun entries that give all the big superheroes (and plenty of the small ones) their own super-pets.

Black Friday & Thanksgiving Hours

Our fifth annual Black Friday sale is coming on Friday, November 29th. Come kick off your holiday shopping and earn bonus gift certificates!
From the time we open (10 AM) until the time we close (10 PM) on Friday, November 29th, any purchase you make will also earn you bonus holiday gift certificates. For every $25 you spend, you’ll get $5 on a gift certificate, and you can break those up into individual $5 gift certificates, one big gift certificate with the whole amount or any other combination you choose. So for example, if you spend $100, you’ll get $20 in our special holiday gift certificates.
So come on in and get a little extra bang for your holiday-shopping buck. Or pick up something for yourself and get some bonus money to give away as gifts. But make sure and stop in for this one-day event!
Boring Rules Stuff:
Just like our regular gift certificates, these have no expiration date, and can be used for anything in the store. We’ll be using these throughout the holiday season. They cannot be used on the day of purchase, but can be used as early as Saturday, November 30th.
The amount used to calculate bonus gift certificates is the pre-tax value of merchandise (within reason – a $24.99 or $24.95 item will get you the $5 gift certificate). $5 is given for each full $25, not a fraction thereof.
We will be closed on Thursday, November 28th for Thanksgiving. There are no comic shipping delays related to Thanksgiving.

Dungeons and Dragons Encounters Returns in November!

crystalshardD&D Encounters returns on Thursday, November 21st with Legacy of the Crystal Shard!

This first session will be all character-building, with the adventure beginning in two weeks (delayed from our usual weekly game due to Thanksgiving).

You don’t need to have any prior experience with D&D to play, and the only thing you need to bring with you is a pencil, and dice if you have them.

We’ll be using the D&D 3.5 rules for Encounters. At this time, we have only one GM and one table, so room for six players, so we highly encourage calling ahead after we open (at 10 AM) on Thursday to secure your spot.

The game begins at 7 PM, although we encourage folks to show up a little early to get settled in so that the game can begin right at 7.

The people of Icewind Dale have long stood against the perils of the North. For most of these folk, the events that shook the region a hundred years ago are now distantvmemories. But what was defeated was not destroyed. Now, as evil forces converge on Ten Towns, the people of the North face their greatest trial yet. Fortunately, they won’t have to face it alone.

Legacy of the Crystal Shard allows characters to continue to participate in important events connected to the Sundering and glimpse the future of the Forgotten Realms.
