Warmachine League. Starts this Sunday, after the auction (4ish). It's not the best time to start a new league, following the auction, but it's the slot we've got. We'll be open late on Sunday, which leads is to....
Sunday Hours. We're experimenting again with staying open late on Sundays. Consider this a seasonal adjustment until we figure out if we want to make this a permanent change. The current plan is to have flexible hours on Sunday night, closing at 10pm if it's busy, or earlier, around 8ish, if it's not. Use it or lose it.
D&D 3.5 is Back Several customers have taken us up on our D&D buyback offer and we're well stocked now on 3.5. We're still looking for more, but if you want to fill out your collection, come see what we have. Prices for these are now at the "collectible" level. Some books are as little as $12, while others go as high as $40.
I did this for a few reasons: I no longer feel it's necessary to "bang the drum" for 4E. It's real, it's here, it's what most people play. Also, I think the recession may be holding people back from upgrading to 4E. How do I want to respond to that? I'm a merchant after all. The "long tail" will have people playing 3.5 for many years to come. Used D&D second edition stuff still outsells many of our current role-playing games. Why turn my back on such a popular game?
D&D RPGA Expansion. We're adding an additional "pod" for our Thursday night RPGA group, meaning we'll be able to run one additional game. RPGA at our store has been ridiculously successful, thanks mostly to the work of John Jones and our RPGA volunteers. It has been crowded enough to require a reservation via Warhorn. Hopefully this will ease the pressure. If you've been wanting to try out the new D&D, bring a 1st level character on Thursdays at 6pm. Also, we'll have another D&D special sale this Thursday. Show up to find out what it is.
40K League Night. There's still room for more players in our 40K campaign. It's a staff run event on Wednesday nights starting at 6pm. Imperial Guard is the army to beat.
And then there were two.
Please don't rule too hastily on the open late Sundays thing. I know that for me personally, it's not of a lot of use now that school is still in session and ramping up for finals, but come summer break I'll be using it more.

ReplyDeleteHeh.
Went by the FLCS (ASG ["and some games"]) today to look over the IG codex, but it was out of stock. Feh. That's what comes from them not going direct but ordering from Alliance. Silly. They may not even realize now the new greatness that is GW. Their game buyer/manager is a sourpuss who probably isn't willing to try to even give GW a call. And can't speak to the fact that perhaps their credit at GW isn't great either...
But anyway, couldn't read the Codex, so looked through the White Dwarf. What's the prevailing opinion on the flying things - Valkyries I think?
Valkyries are a little more specialized than a run of the mill chimera, the only "dedicated" transport. What I see out there are lists that seem focused around their use. They look pretty cool though, especially the gunship version.
