New Store 31 Dec afternoon

Hi!

Ceiling is finally cleaned of nails and loose debris, and finally got the dumpster emptied and returned. So we could put the rest of the ceilig and such into it. I really underestimated the amount of time it would take to peel the ceiling, and how fast it would fill a 20 foot dumpster.

As you can see we've gooten the wainscotting moved downstairs where it will sit for all of eternity with luck. Up in the fron of the store we discovered a door hidden behind the nasty wallpaper. that's going to be completely sealed off with no trace of its existence. Also we uncovered a second back door, which is also going to be sealed and covered up.

I was going to remove the old plaster and learn-as-i-go re-plaster the north wall, but i learned at Lowe's that the under-plaster (its the gray cementy looking stuff) has to be removed completely or its just falls off with the new plaster. And since the bricks are over 100 years old, it was decided that taking a hammer to know it off would probably a lot of the bricks. So, the back and north wall are going to be framed, insulated and dry-walled. Which also is going to add to the time.

I'd ordered the drywall from CU Drywall for delivery last friday. With the Ice and all, they said it would get delivered monday. It didnt show up monday and the time requested, so i started calling. No one answered the phone all day. When i got a hold of them Tuesday, the response was" what? I thought that was taken care of? Let me look into it." 3 hours later, i called them back, canceled the order, and ordered it from Negwer Materials. Paid for it and they brought it out this morning.

The drywall was delivered this morning, at freaking 7am! It was cold, and its been a looong time since i had to be up at 7am.... But it was pretty cool how they took it off the truck and into the building.

Now we're waiting on the building permit, and have been for a week. The city keeps sending the application back with more questions. I really don't understand how construction people keep their sanity.

It looks like we'll be reopening in our original location on the 6th of January. Hopefully a week after that we'll start the move.

New Store Saturday Morning

Hi!

It's at the point where a new and empty dumpster is required. To roll the scaffolding to finish pulling out the nails and scraps of plaster and lathe from the edges of the ceiling, a reasonably empty floor is needed. No room in the dumpster means we can't finish that. Today and tomorrow will be finishing what can be reached.

New Store 3rd Morning

Hi!

Wednesday afternoon and Christmas Day was mostly getting the rubble from the ceiling out to the dumpster. The dumpster is almost full. The scaffolding and heaters we got from Rental City here in town.
Pretty quick to deliver and easy to deal with.

Today the drywall is supposed to be delivered, but got a call saying that the truck is stuck with the ice covering their parking lot making getting the truck moving in the intended direction nearly impossible . So they're working on that, which works out for us, giving us a little more time to get the floor ready to storethe drywall.

The south wall needs replastering so we'll prob start that saturday or sunday, and the north wall needs some repairs and maybe some replastering as well.

New Store Morning 2nd Day of Renovation

This is what it looked like after the first day.

New Store 205 N Market

The new store address is 205 north market. Its the first building behind 44 E Mainstreet. Its on the same block. North market is a one way street, and its also the street the newspaper delivery guys line up on to get their papers.

Parking is the same as before, just a little farther away now.

If we open by 8 Jan I will be very happy, but it may be a little later. we'll keep the updates on the Board, the blog and the website.

This is the first of the daily videos so you can see how its going. Tomorrow i'll put up the one showing the work done today.

13 Dec 2008

Hi!

More stuff showed up yesterday.

Something that I found on the internet: HBO has given a pilot order for a fantasy project "Game of Thrones".
Please let someone responsible be in charge and don't let the movie makers get crazy....

Week of Dec 11

Hi!

Here I am again. Can't speak for the others, but I'm feeling better.

Yes, the Dragon's Table is moving, so is GMart. This was not by our choice, but

rather the landlord found someone who will pay triple our current rent and

renovate the space. Appearently, the time is ripe for a new eyeglass shop in

downtown champaign.

The current possible location is 205 N Market street, the old Graphics Press

building. And old it is. Theres a lot of work that needs to be done before im

willing to move in, and the landlord insists that i pay for the remodeling, which is

basically new walls, ceiling and some other stuff.

We're in negotiating phase with the landlord, which is kinda like talking to the

entire cast of Third Rock from the Sun :). It's very tiring.

So at the moment we have no idea whn the work will be done, and when the

actual move will be.

I'll be putting up a video record of the work being in the new place from start to

finish, should prove amusing.....

There's a Monsterpocalypse Tournament scheduled this Sunday at 1pm, come

on by. Play in the tourney or we can teach the game. It's all free.

Anything on a christmas list is 10% off. A christmas list is considered to be the

full list of thing you want from friends and relatives, not just the Dragon's Table.

Hi!

The reprint for Dark Heresy is out, but be ready for the sticker shock: $59.95! Now we know why GW and Sabertooth games handed off the licenses: MORE MONEY and no work.

The 'Ardboyz tournament in september is limited in size. At most i can have 14 people on 7 sets of tables playing. So thats my limit. The annoying thing is that i've bought the kits they have for that and there's only 10 tshirts in the kits. GW said that stores can sell the tshirts; i said we dont charge for tournaments or promotional items. Asked about for 4 more tshirts. they said buy another kit. sigh.

I did open another box of Eventide, so the singles are refilled. Poor Noggles.

Parking downtown is 75cents an hour from 8am to 9pm Monday thru Friday. Also, pay once after 5pm and stay till 3am. (um, for us, that means 10pm:) City council, what can i say?

Hi!

We're hosting the 40K 'Ardboyz Tournament here on Sept 13, 2008. This is the first of a three round tournament , held

one round a month, ending in Baltimore in November. I don't know where the second round will be; I'll find out soon I

hope. This will be a 2500 point tournament.

I'm taking preorders for the Assault on Black Reach: 10% for preorders, 30%off is prepaid. Paying in advance would

make it $45.26. Already it looks like the UPS guy is going to be unhappy. $300 of mini's for $45.26! Wow, little too

much like a TV ad.

The D&D 4.0 DM Screen is supposed to be out Aug 18th. Let's hope they can keep to the schedule.

The new Dark elf plastic boxes are out, and the black ark corsairs look really good, and the cover art for the codex is

great. I want a poster size of that one.

I sent the order To Battlefront for June and July's new releases as well as some special orders. They should be in next

week.

After GenCon, they'll open the supply again and the new stuff will show up on a more regular basis.

I opened another box of Eventide for singles; since the previous singles have been savaged.......

The Warhammer League ended yesterday. Winners are:

Most Games Won- Cyris Mathis $50.00 Store Cred

The Dragon's Table 13 June 2008

Hi!

Saturday, the 7th of June was The Dragon's Table 7th Anniversary party. Thanks for the 7 years, and I appreciate the good

luck wishes for the next year!

The Worldwide D&D Game was a big hit. We ended up running all five sessions on saturday, which is a first for us, usally

we only get enough people to run 1 or 2 scenarios. Everyone had fun with it, tho a few decided they didn't like the rules.

Still have DMG's and MM's for D&D 4.0 in stock, more PHB's will be in tomorrow. So far I've sold about 22 each DMG/MM

and 40 PHB's since Friday! This is selling much better than 3.0/3.5 ever did!

A week after this Saturday, on the 21st, doing another 40K Apocalypse game, once again pushing all the tables together

for a monster game!

6 Mar 2008 Hi There!

Hi!

First of all, let me remind you that since Winter War we've been offering the current D20 books at 20% off. If i can still order them, I'll order them at 20% off to you as well, instead of the normal 10% off for out of stock. This will continue till i run out or 4th Ed comes in.

Diplomacy is coming back out, and should be on our shelves March 14. I believe the price is 30$ MRSP.
Let me know if you gotta have!

Finally got the Rare Earth Magnets in, pretty cool. Sorry, it took a little bit of shopping on the internet to find a decent supply with decent prices.

The new Army books for the WHF Vampire counts should be in tomorrow in the late afternoon.

Don't Forget!!!! this saturday from 1pm to 5pm we're showing how to make hills from styrofoam, paint and flocking. There's a 5$ fee, but you take home everything you make! Tell you friends. Here's a chance to get some terrain for yourself...

Mostly restocks this week.....

The Dragon's Table 21 Feb 08

HI!

Another week has gone by, and there's still snow swirling about; wonder if they need a gamestore in New

Mexico or Arizona....not desperate enough from the cold to move to Texas.....

Fields of Glory has made it to the shop. If someone can do a review that would be great.

This saturday is a W40K tournament and Sunday we're doing a WarMachine Tournament. No charge for

either and if we get 6 people I'll do some prize support.

My spellchecker seems to be on vacation.

DC Heroclix Crisis will be here next wednesday.

I've got a partial order for Games Workshop Bitz if there's anyone looking to order some.

Dont forget about the terrain building classes all day on the 8th of March!

This Week 13 Feb 2008

Hi!

Well, another Winter War survived..,... I have the store pretty much put back together, the game room is still

pretty rough, but i should be finished by tomorrow evening.

The UFS CCG group has decided to move to the Dragon's Table, and are sponsoring a tournament this

saturday at 1pm. I'm sure demos are available as well. I've also ordered the two newest sets of UFS, and

with their release dates being this friday, I thought it would mesh well.

I also have a FOW of War tournament scheduled for this saturday as well, so it should be busy.

D&D products currently in stock are now 20% off, and will continue to be until 4E comes out in June of this

year.

DC Crisis HC are being released on 27 Feb; have you got yours ordered?

In March we are planning on doing a terrain building class. Hills will probably be the main theme, although

houses will also be included if I can prepare enough kits.

A reminder for those who got Dragon's Table prize certificates at Winter War this year or earlier: they dont

expire! Bring them to the store or to the next convention!

thanks

John

The Warhammer 40k league is moving along. It's pulling in some people I havent seen for a while.

In Febuary I'm planning on starting a monthly Flames of War Tournament. First one will be 1000pts. Lets see what we can do with this....

Zombies!!!: Game Review

Twilight Creations Presents - Zombies!!!

Zombies!!! is a tile-based game where you control a
human survivor of a zombie uprising. During the game
you run the streets of an everyday downtown area
ravaged by the undead. The goal is to be the first
survivor to reach the waiting helicopter and be
evacuated. The game box contains miniatures, city
street tiles, health and ammo counters as well as
actions cards to spice up play.

First, the game's positive points. The game board is
built randomly every turn as new city streets are
added, providing for variety of play in endless
possibilities for the city layout. Tile-based games
allow for players to avoid the tedium of play areas
that remain static. The game also has a simple combat
system that takes moments to master. Ultimately the
greatest part of Zombies!!! is the atmosphere. The
game succeeds and fails on dark humor and the sheer
joy of allowing players to run around the neighborhood
blasting the animated dead.

However, the game does have some issues that take away
from the overall enjoyment factor. The game rules are
brief (very brief), which is a plus, but it seems at
times that brevity was chosen in spite of the need for
detailed explanation. This issue is nowhere more
evident then when dealing with event cards in the game
and the inevitable confusion in their implementation.
In the end this problem is insignificant when looked
at as compared to the overall enjoyment the game
offers.

If you are looking for a perfect game, look somewhere
else. If you are looking for an outlet for twisted fun
with the undead, give Zombies!!! a try.

Tsuro: Game Review

Tsuro

Tsuro from Wizkids games is a big departure from their collectible strategic
games: a board/tile game easily approachable for nongamers. The game parts
consist of: a board with a 6x6 grid, with two "paths" on each segment of
grid perimeter; 35 "path" tiles, each with four paths with uniform
exit/entrance placement; a "dragon" tile, to determine who draws the first
tile, and mark who gets the next when you run out; and eight pawns.

The goal of the game is simple: stay on the play area. Play begins with the
oldest: play a tile so that your pawn has a new segment of path to follow,
then move your pawn to the current end of your path, then draw a tile.
Multiple pawns can be affected by a single tile, and all are moved to the
end of their path. If the paths of two players intersect, they are out. A
path going to the perimeter is also out. Ties are easily possible, even
three-way ties. I played a three person game where all of us were affected
by the next tile, and no matter the tiles' orientation, two paths
intersected, and the third left the board.

Tsuro is, simply put, a beautiful elegant game, perfect to play with any
number from 2 to 8. My experience says that the game does not lose enjoyment
with less players, as part of the fun is building attractive or complex
paths. The fun of the game is not in winning, but in seeing the paths
develop and followed.

Hi!

Not so much this week, but that's okay, saves the fingers from my typing.

Winter War is the weekend of the 8-10th of Feb this year at the Hawthorne Suites Hotel.

You can check out the info on http://winterwar.prairienet.org/index.html (you'll have to do

the ole cut-n-paste here).

Had a good turnout at the 40k tournament last saturday and it was a good kick off for the

40K League as well. The league will run until Mar 31st of this year. Awards are for:

Most games won: $50.00 store credit
Most Games Played: $30.00 store credit
Most People Played: $20.00 store credit
Most Games Lost: $5.00 store credit and a raspberry

No scheduling required; come in and play. Any Tournaments at the Dragon Table will add

to your league points, plus the Tournaments at Winter War will also add to league points.

Still looking for game reviews, I have two that were lost and are now found, so they're

going on the Blog today: www/the dragons-table.blogspot.com/

Oh. Yeah. Still have bags of shipping peanuts. Anyone?

thanks

John

Hi!

Inventory is traumatic as usual. If that wasn't enough, we pulled the rug in the back room

up as well. Definitely makes it brighter back there.

Found many bags of shipping peanuts; didnt think i was saving that much. Anyway, if

anyone wants any come and get them_soon_since im going to start throwing them away

next week. I'd rather not throw them away, come and get 'em!

I'm expecting the new 40K Ork Codex in on Friday, along with new ork figures.

Got a surprise in the today's shipment: new product from Apophis Press. I'd thought

they vanished a few years ago when Obsidian went out of print.

Winter War is next month; are you ready?
