Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play Demo – November 14th!

Come November, there will be a brand new Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play, set in Games Workshop’s dark fantasy world.

Rogues Gallery Comics & Games is one of only nine stores in Texas chosen to host The Emperor’s Decree first-look at the new Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play Core Set, and the only store in the Austin area! The event will give players a firsthand look at the complete Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Set, as well as put them through an adventure that will teach them everything they need to know to get their own Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign started as soon as the Core Set arrives in stores!

We’ll be hosting our demo on Saturday, November 14th starting at 1 PM. If there’s enough interest, we’ll run two sessions, one early afternoon and one late afternoon, so sign up today by emailing us or coming into the store to sign up!

There is no purchase required to play in the demo, and no prior knowledge of the Warhammer world or the role-playing game is required either.

We are also taking preorders for the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Core Set now!

Jacques, the sheep-shearing commissioner of the herd, has been given a present of new scissors – the “Snips 2010” – and the sheep fear him more than ever! He constantly wants to clip their wool! For this reason, the head ram, Roger, announces that all sheep may defend their coats! Pull the wool over Jacques’ shears and keep your coat in this mutton-minding dice and card game!

Carcassonne: Wheel of Fate
Designed as both a full replacement and/or an expansion to the original Carcassonne base game, Wheel of Fate includes 72 tiles consisting of 63 tiles released in the original metagame, plus six from Inns & Cathedrals, one from Traders & Builders, and two from King & Scout.

Unfortunately, the squirrels in the Hazelnut Gang are up to their usual mischief, and have also taken an interest in the crunchy hazelnuts, juicy berries, chestnuts, and fir cones. Your task is to be the first to steal seven tidbits from under Freddy’s nose, and become the new leader of the Hazelnut Gang!

All you ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by (and someone who knows how to steer ships using stars). You finally got some of those rivers you’d wanted, and they led to the sea. These are dangerous, pirate-infested waters, and you cautiously send rat-infested ships across them, to establish lucrative trade at far-off, merchant-infested ports. When you finally reach those ports you will conquer them, and from there you will look for more rivers. One day, all the rivers will be yours! This second expansion adds 26 new Kingdom cards to Dominion.
