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

We're closing at 7pm next thursday night on the 7th so we can pack up for WinterWar. Several of my helpers for this amazing feat have already warned me that they'll be exercising their tonnage veto, that is, trying to restrain me from bring the whole store to the show. We'll see....

A new Educational Toy Store Opened up in monticello recently. Its called Bee Active Toys and it's at 204 W Washington off the square. Phone is 217-762-4FUN. Tell him I sent you; kickback? heh, i wish.

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....

Later this week or early next week, I'm expecting the large DBA order in. Also, a FOW order is expected late next week that will include the Feb 9th releases.

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.

New for 23 Jan 2008

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
