Hey everyone. Rich here with a post-auction, mid-week, pre-returns roundup.
First things first. Thank you everyone. Thanks to everyone who came out and bought themselves some treasures in the auction. Thanks to the participants who entered items in the auction – amazingly enough, you helped it be successful. And Big Thanks to the volunteers who, well, volunteered their time to help us out. Where we need people to buy the stuff and stuff to auction – we need the help to cover all the different things we need to do during that week. THANKS!
Auction Returns (unsold items and certificates) should be available on Friday, October 16th.
And lastly – yes indeed, the new stuff continues to roll in. New D&D Squareos card cases, Mothership material, new Reaper minis, boardgames and lots more…
So we have had a busy time and a number of the Friday night round-up posts have been… absent.
The Fall Auction is in full swing, but that hasn’t stopped new merchandise from coming in – and us from trying to get it into your hands.
There are Historical games from Sound of Drum games (and others), Osprey publications books, new Roleplaying items, a whole lot of baordgames and, well, a heck of a lot more.
Come on in when you get the chance. It’ll be here awaiting you. Unless someone else gets to it first…
It’s that time of year that we close down the game room and do our bi-annual (yes, twice a year is bi-annual, look it up. It can be semi-annual too) Aucton.
As we speak (Friday Night) we are auctioning off any role playing games, modules, source books, magazines and accessories.
Saturday we present our vast auction of over 1500 Euro, Family and other Boardgames. You won’t find historical simulations now because this is the time for the other side to shine. Doors open at 9am, bidding starts at 10am and will go until we get through all the inventory. Or somewhere around 8pm if we can’t get through them all.
Sunday (October 11th) is all the miniature game items. Not tiny games, but those using or featuring miniatures – ie. precision sculpted highly detailed paying pieces. and maybe Orcs, Space Marine, Warjacks, spaceships and more. Miniatures, rules, source books, magazines, paints, tools terrain and more. Doors open and 8:30am, bidding starts at 9:30am and will feature mainly historical fare until 11am when we will start to mix in all the other stuff. Unless we run out of historical early. It will go to close to 8pm unless we run out of items first.
If all goes right, the game room will reopen on Monday evening.

Put it on your later pointer to stop grabby hands from thinking it’s theirs.
So… if you have other ideas what you can use them for – here they are. Come on in and grab yours today.

Hey there everyone! Rich here with a Saturday Photo Montage.
We survived the GenCon Tornado and Flood.
We are back – but it’s been a whole lotta chaos trying to get the the stuff back on the shelves, order stock up, and deal with the latest MTG debacle of Hobbit Play Boosters… or the lack of them, as it were.
That said – Here is a quick bit of pictures to let you know what’s come in.
There are new Vallejo 4 color ‘BSL’ paint sets, new RPGs, D&D item, monster and spell cards and so much more.
Come on in, take a gander and hopefully next week we will be back on course for more detailed stuff. In the mean time – enjoy the summer weather!
