All of a sudden there is a huge wave of new RPG goodness including the long awaited Dark Sun campaign setting for Dungeons and Dragons and several Pathfinder supplements.  Also in are Games Workshop’s Daemons, Forgecraft bases and some new card games by Z-man

Dark Sun Campaign Setting: $39.95

Explore a savage, wondrous world…
Aimed at players and Dungeon Masters, this game supplement explores the heroes and wonders of Athas—a savage desert world abandoned by the gods and ruled by terrible sorcerer-kings. Use it to build Dark Sun heroes and adventures set in the Seven Cities of the Tyr Region, the Ivory Triangle, the Sea of Silt, and monster-infested wastelands—or plunder it for your own D&D campaign!

The Dark Sun Campaign Setting provides exciting character options for D&D players, including new races, new character themes and class builds, new paragon paths and epic destinies, and new equipment. It also provides everything Dungeon Masters need to run 4th Edition Dark Sun campaigns or include Dark Sun elements in their home campaigns. It has rules and advice for handling survival challenges, arena encounters, desert terrain, and adventure creation. It also presents a short, ready-to-play introductory adventure.

The Speicherstadt: $45

Designer: Stefan Feld
Players: 2-5
Playing Time: 45 Minutes
Ages: 8+

The Speicherstadt, Hamburg’s warehouse district, is a thriving a busy place.  You’re the head of a large trading house, and there is plenty that needs doing!

In The Speicherstadt the game play follows the simple pattern of supply, demand, purchase, loading and income.  In the supply phase, trade cards become available and ships are loaded up with goods such as coffee, tea, carpets and rubber.  During the demand phase players take turns placing workers over the cards.  The worker placement system makes for some very interesting choices, as the number and order of workers dictate the cost and purchase preference order for the cards.  Players can place workers in order to force a player to pay more, or even to bump a card out of the price range of a lower placed player, as well as for the simple desire to purchase a card.  The object of the game is, of course, the acquisition of points, and the trade cards are really the meat of the game, allowing many and varied interactions between goods, money, cards and points without losing any simplicity.

Settlers of America, Trails to Rails: $55.00

Designer: Klaus Teuber
Players: 3-4
Playing Time: 120 Minutes
Ages: 12+

After a planning session, where the big brained monkeys of EndGame got together, split some bananas, and whooped around a bit, we have come up with the dates for the rest of our high-profile events for 2010. We also added a few new reoccurring events as well. Here is the run down:

Saturday 8/14/10 – 10.30am – 7pm

Get ready for something different this time….Join our very own Ordo Pacificus Chapter of the 40K Fight Club for a day of boltering, lascannoning, and destruction! The tournament will be 1500 points, go for three rounds, and Forge World/Imperial Armor lists will be accepted. if you care to join us for the fun, please head over to our forums, and private message “ERCH” to sign up. The deadline for sign ups is Saturday, August 8th.

Sunday 8/15/10 – 10am:
D&D 4e Dark Sun Release Event
In honor of the relaunch of Dark Sun, Wizards of the Coast and EndGame are happy to host a morning of D&D excitement. Characters for this event will be provided, and this is not an RPGA compatible module. Please email Chris to sign up. There are only 20 seats available, and this is first come, first served.

Sunday 8/22/10 – 10am – 7pm:
Flames of War Tourney

Join us on Sunday August 22nd for some WWII action.  We will be hosting a 1750 point Flames of War Late War tournament, any Late War list is valid.  It will go three rounds.  We have 12 spots available, please email Chris R. to sign up.  First come first served!

Saturday 9/11/10 – 11am to 3pm:
2nd Annual Miniatures Bazaar!
Last year, we saw a lot of happy people unload their unwanted miniatures and terrain for goodies they did want. It’s time to do that again! Here is how it works: Starting Mid-August, we will begin taking “sellers table” reservations. This will be on a first come, first served basis. We request that you only bring Miniatures, Miniatures Rules, and terrain…no board games, or RPGs to your sellers table.   Product may only be traded, or purchased with a EndGame gift card. No cash may exchange hands upstairs during the swap meet.  Seller table set-up will begin at 9:30 – 10:30am the morning of the event. At 10.30am we will encourage the sellers to take a half an hour and look over each others goodies. (last year we didn’t think of this, and it was of the biggest requests we got.) At 11am we will open the upstairs to the public for the frenzy to begin!

Please remember:  The only way to purchase things is through trade or in EndGame gift cards.

EndGame’s 9th Annual Anniversary Party – 10/2/10
I wonder if we can get Aaron out for this one? (Save the date!)

The Final MiniCon of 2010 – 10/16/10
It’s a ways away, but save the date!

People have been asking us for ages to give some of the “other” miniatures games some organized love. It’s about to happen. Beginning in August, we are starting the Rally Point Series. What is that? Once a month we are setting aside the space for players to rally to their game, get some play in, and make a day of it. To make this a little easier on your schedules, we are doing it in this clever fashion:

- The First Saturday of each month will focus on This Quar’s War
- The Third Saturday of each month will focus on War of the Ring
- The Third Tuesday of the Month will focus on Infinity

Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t play these games other times, but it’s a great way to meet and greet. Hop on the forums, and start planning your games now!
(This will all be added to our Calendar shortly, but go ahead and reserve the dates!)

We’re back to regular hours and events today.   Everything is fine here and looks to be back to normal in our neck of the woods.
