WH40K 2009 'ARD BOYZ Tournament July 12th!
Here we are, at the onset of the 2009 'Ard Boyz Season and the question still stands, "Who is the best 40k player in North America?" Over 5,000 people raised their hand last year, thinking they had the marbles, but only one player remained standing after the dust settled. Gareth Hunt brought the thunder with his Chaos Demons army and earned the right to call himself an 'Ard Boy!
Magic the Gathering M10 Events this July
We'll be celebrating Magic the Gathering's release of M10 (that's short for "Magic 2010", titled such because it's the eleventh edition, relaeasing in 2009, duh--and I guess a perfect set up for M11, the twelfth edition which should release in 2011, although I heard a rumor of yearly releases of these "editions." Ours is not to question why, but to merely tap or die....) with a couple big events in July:

Sorry About the Downtime
We had a bit of an outage yesterday due to a change in our server. We're getting ready to add a new shopping cart for our decals and other stuff but we didn't know that adding the secure server was going to cause the entire site to be out for more than 24 hours. We're back now, though, and all is well again.
A call to any/all MTG players who frequent these forums
So I have recently renewed my Tournament Organizer status with WotC and I am looking at starting to run the Magic tournaments for the store once again. I have a few questions for those of you who attend and participate in the tournaments regularly.
A New Race for Warhammer/40K?
There are rumors a-buzzin' on the intarwebs about a new race for Warhammer... or Warhammer 40k. The rumors are decidedly non-specific at this point the only thing that seems to be clear is that the design team at Games Workshop has been given the go-ahead to start work on a new race for one of the games. Which means that we aren't likely to get confirmation about what this race might be (or for what game) for a while.
15mm WWII on a Truly Epic Scale...
This is part 1 of a series of videos about a 15mm WWII game run at historical gaming convention. The table represents Operation Market Garden and (if laid end to end) represents about 60 linear feet of gaming goodness. Be sure to watch the rest of the videos. This is why I love miniature wargaming...
