D&D Encounters Returns on Thursday, February 7th!

After a brief holiday hiatus, D&D Encounters returns starting next Thursday! Rogues Gallery will be running two tables as usual, both featuring the D&D Next Playtest Rules! The new season is called Against the Cult of Chaos, and it takes inspiration from classics such as Village of Hommlet and Against the Cult of the Reptile God. As always, we recommend calling ahead after we open (at 10 AM) on Thursday to secure your spot, as there are only 12 spots available each week. You don’t have to play each week, although you are of course welcome to come every week if you’d like.

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.

Players who are signed up for the D&D Next Playtest may create their own characters. Players who are NOT signed up for the D&D Next Playtest, but wish to participate in this season of Encounters using D&D Next rules, will use pre-generated characters provided by the DM.

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.

MTG: Gatecrash Pre-Release Information

FIRST 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, Gatecrash, on Sunday, January 27th! We always fill up our spaces, and 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. You can preregister now by calling or emailing the store to get on the list for one or both events.

Sign-in will begin at noon on January 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.

You’ll choose from five Guild Prerelease Packs, which will cost $25 (plus tax) each. The options (while supplies last) are Orzhov, Dimir, Gruul, Boros, and Simic. Each Guild Prerelease Pack contains five Gatecrash booster packs, a guild-specific booster pack, a special alternate-art prerelease card unique to each guild, an achievement card, a Spindown life counter, a guild symbol sticker, and a letter from the guild’s leader.

For this event, players may use the promo card included with the Guild Prerelease Pack in their tournament deck. All participants will receive a limited edition card, and prize support will be in the form of Gatecrash 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 an Intro Pack to play against each other, as well as Prerelease tournament players who are between matches.

Holiday Hours

Rogues Gallery will close early on Monday, December 24th and Monday, December 31st. We will close at 7 PM instead of 9 PM on those days. We will be closed on Tuesday, December 25th and Tuesday, January 1st.

We will have comics as normal on Wednesday, December 26th and Wednesday, January 2nd! Happy Holidays!

Black Friday Sale & Thanksgiving Hours

Our fifth annual Black Friday sale is coming on Friday, November 23rd. 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 23rd, 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 24th.

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 23rd for Thanksgiving. In addition, we will not be holding D&D Encounters on Thanksgiving week. There are no comic shipping delays related to Thanksgiving.

We have room for 16 players in the first event, beginning at noon, and 16 players in the second event, beginning at 4 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.

Registration will begin at noon on September 30th. 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.

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.
