Not so much in the physical sense, but in the scope of what we carry at the store.

If you've been to the store recently you've probably noticed that things have gotten shifted around. This is because we're planning on a whole new crop of products at the store. Something that really makes sense now that spring is around the corner. What we're talking about is active games and activities. We're talking Darts, Kites, Frisbees (aka Flying Disks), gliders, Yo-Yos and such-like.

We're all very excited about the range of products that we're bringing in. I know that I'm looking forward to getting my first kite since I was a kid. I think that you'll all find something fun there for you too.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, I have a deep fondness for the Commands & Colors game system. I also have a completely unrelated fondness for the Game of Thrones series from George RR Martin. In fact, I'm currently rereading the first book in the series for the third time... and loving it.

Well, Fantasy Flight Games has decided to take these two things and make them one.

The Next Big Painting Contest!!!

A single model on a 30mm or smaller base

from any line that we carry in the store.

February 14th ~ 21st

Only $2 to enter!

One week to paint up your masterpiece and win fabulous prizes and a store full of accolades!!!

How it works:

This is pretty huge. WoTC is passing on the Star Wars license. Which means that you won't see any more RPG books or minis past August (and nothing new after April).

This is a HUGE opportunity for another company - assuming there's another company with the deep pockets to afford such a license (I'm looking at you FFG).
