ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

Gamemastery Item Cards Carrion Crown Deck
Grasp tightly your stake and holy water in the Carrion Crown Adventure Path with this chilling new assortment of 54 unique GameMastery Item Cards.

Gamemastery Map Pack Crypts
GameMastery Map Pack: Crypts contains 18 full-color, 5 x 8-inch map tiles, stunningly crafted by cartographer Corey Macourek, that combine to form a variety of tombs, mausoleums, and gravesites perfect for adding a chilling touch to any tabletop roleplaying game. Locations Include: Catacombs, Noble’s Crypt, Ghoul Warren, Soldier’s Tomb, and Defiled Tomb.

Pathfinder Adventure Path Trial o/t Beast
The Beast of Lepidstadt, a savagely cunning flesh golem, has long terrorized the simple folk of the land, murdering, robbing, and sowing carnage none can withstand. When a violent attack releases the berserker, its trail leads to the laboratory lair of a mad scientist and his blasphemous creations – crazed conspirators in the maniacal plot of the Whispering Way.

Pathfinder Campaign Setting Rule of Fear
Enter the shadow-cloaked realm of Ustalav, the seat of horror in the Pathfinder campaign setting. Here accursed counts vie for power over terror-torn lands of mystery and dark legend, endlessly plagued by terrifying creatures of the night and the eternal curses of a haunted past.

Pathfinder Player Companion Faiths of Purity
This handy guide to the good gods of the Pathfinder world covers everything a worshiper needs to know to properly venerate his deity, from the god’s background and history to the religion’s sacred rituals, taboos, and organizations. Also, new religion-specific character traits and equipment give a player’s-eye view to the value of being on the side of righteousness.

Pathfinder Module Tomb o/t Iron Medusa
Hidden in the remote southern range of the World’s Edge Mountains lies a mysterious necropolis protected by legendary guardian known as the Iron Medusa. When the last heir of the dungeon’s long-dead noble builders hires the heroes to explore the forlorn and deadly site in search of evidence that may clear his family name, the heroes soon find themselves in over their heads!

Gamemastery Flip Mat Necropolis
The corpses of fallen heroes and the spirits of the unquiet dead all end up here, in the haunted paths of the Necropolis! From the graves of common soldiers to the fine mausoleum of the noble dead, Flip-Mat: Necropolis contains a massive graveyard teeming with adventure and plenty of opportunities to give player characters a new permanent home!

Journey Quest Season 1 (DVD)
Following a group of dysfunctional adventurers on a quest to discover and destroy the mythical Sword of Fighting, JOURNEYQUEST is a comedic adventure through the fantasy world of Fartherall, where intellectual orcs, incompetent wizards, and holy zombies form the living (and not-so-living) backdrop to an epic story of unrequited love, burning passions, and severely reluctant heroism. And running away. Lots of running away…

Mega Dungeon 1 Adventures Map
Gaming Paper Adventures Maps can be used to build thousands of unique dungeons in practically any shape or configuration. The Mega Dungeon 1 set features 100 unique, highly detailed dungeon geomorphs created by fantasy cartographer extraordinaire, Christopher West. The two-sided design details unfurnished dungeon rooms for players to fill on one side, while the opposite contains furnished rooms imagined and rendered by Christopher West himself. Together, all one-hundred sheets combine for a massive, single mega-dungeon – that’s nearly 65 square feet of playing surface!

D&D Players Option Heroes of Shadow
Player’s Options Heroes of Shadow presents races, classes, feats, powers, and other options aimed at players hungry to play the archetypical antihero with a dark edge.

Magic: The Gathering New Phyrexia prerelease details!

Rogues Gallery is holding its first Magic pre-release event with the New Phyrexia set!

We will be doing the prerelease for the third set on Sunday, May 8th from 1-5 PM! We suggest arriving at around 12:30 so that everyone can get their cards and get settled in time to play.

The entry fee is $25, for which players will receive 3 New Phyrexia boosters and 3 Scars of Mirrodin boosters with which to build their deck. Land is not provided, so you can either bring your own land cards or purchase a Land Station from the store.

Prizes will include New Phyrexia boosters and the limited edition Sheoldred, Whispering One card.

For those who are new to the game or don’t want to build their own decks, there will be open dueling, and players in open duels may buy one intro pack instead of paying the entry fee for the tournament. There are no prizes for open dueling, but for casual players or those who just want to sample the new set, it is an option!

You can sign up to participate at the store, by marking yourself down as attending on our Facebook page or by emailing us!

Space is limiited, although we will do our best to accommodate everyone who wants to play.

You can find more details about the event at the Wizards of the Coast official site: http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Events.aspx?x=mtgcom%2Fevents%2Fprerelease-facts

BOARD & CARD GAMES

Nightfall
When darkness falls, terror rises! The creatures of nightmare – vampires, werewolves, and ghouls – have begun to appear throughout the world, and they show no sign of hesitation in claiming the dark world as their own! Nightfall is a fast and furious deck-building game of supernatural horror from the makers of Legend of the Five Rings.

Magestorm
Mighty Battles in the Age of Magic! In the world of the Two Suns, the time of the Great Changing is coming! While mighty armies clash, powerful mages with godlike powers unleash the forces of magic on the battlefield, pursuing their own mysterious goals. Only by perfecting a strategy that balances magic-use with military skill will you achieve victory!

Munchkin Zombies
Kill the Living! Eat their Brains! It’s the sickest, silliest Munchkin yet! The players are zombies, kicking down doors and eating brains. The monsters they’re attacking are people – some helpless and some hazardous, with a few rogue zombies thrown in. Featuring horrendously humorous illustrations by John Kovalic, this original Munchkin core game comes complete with 168 cards, one six-sided die, and a rulesheet.

Magic The Gathering Duel Decks Knights VS Dragons
Valor and Steel Clash with Rage and Fire! The greatest knights have gathered together to once and for all end the reign of terror that has plagued their lands for centuries. Holy paladins, noble cavaliers, and swift skyhunters all answer the call to hunt dragons to the death and restore order to the realm. For dragonkind, the answer is simple – incinerate the invaders! Enraged goblin minions pour from the mountain crags to repel the intruders, but that’s only to give the majestic hellkites time to take to the skies and unleash a firestorm that no knight could hope to survive. A world hangs in the balance. Will you enter the battle under the banner of purity and order, or will you plunge the land into chaos and dragonfire?

When Harrowstone Prison burned to the ground, prisoners, guards, and a host of vicious madmen met a terrifying end. In the years since, the nearby town of Ravengro has shunned the fire-scarred ruins, telling tales of unquiet spirits that wander abandoned cellblocks. But when a mysterious evil disturbs HarrowstoneÕs tenuous spiritual balance, a ghostly prison riot commences that threatens to consume the nearby village in madness and flames. Can the adventurers discover the secrets of Harrowstone and quell a rebellion of the dead? Or will they be the spirit-prisonÕs next inmates?

Savage Worlds Action & Adventure Decks
Feeling adventurous? Got a little action in you? Bring Savage excitement to your gaming table like never before with Savage Worlds: Action & Adventure Decks!
