Shadowmoor Release Party - Coming in May

We'll be hosting two NON-Sanctioned events celebrating the release of Shadowmoor, the new Magic block. Apologies, and please see the forum post for more details.

Friday night, May 2nd 5:30pm will simply be a FNM booster draft using 3x Shadowmoor booster packs (no substitutions.)

Saturday afternoon, May 3rd at 1:00pm will be the big release party! We'll be hosting a Sealed Booster Tournament with each player getting One Shadowmoor Starter and Two Shadowmoor Boosters (no substitutions.)

Double the normal booster pack prizes, to make up for non-sanctioning!

Greenfield Games Open Easter Day

We're experimenting a little this year...

In previous years we've always been closed on Easter Day. This year we'll be open. So if you don't have other plans for Sunday feel free to come in to do some painting, gaming or just to pick something up to do with the family on Easter.

Tim will be working the counter and I'll probably be there to do some miniature painting (as usual).

See you there!

Gary Gygax, creator of Dungeons & Dragons, dead at 69

Steve at Troll Lord Games has reported that Gary Gygax, one of the original creator's of Dungeons & Dragons, has died.

He had apparently been in poor health for a while. In one interview he is quoted as saying that this had forced to quit his pack-a-day smoking habit (which he enjoyed - go figure).

I'm not sure what else to say at this point. Whatever you may think of Dungeons & Dragons as a game, there's no denying the affect that this man had on the gaming world. Roleplaying, Experience Points, Levels... yeah, that was those guys. Every roleplaying game owes a debt to these guys. Do you like World of Warcraft? Yeah, he's pretty much ultimately responsible for that too.

It's a sad day for gamers everywhere.
