Sidewalk Construction Woes

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

constructionWe have no sidewalk outside our front door at the moment.  While the construction is going on outside our front door this week, we will be not be open until 5pm.  You will be able to access the store through the back door when we are open for business.  Also, it’s worth noting that free parking is always available in the Rotary parking lot which is located between 1st and 2nd street via the ally way behind Susquehanna bank.

So, all week night events are running as usual… demo game nights on Tuesdays, casual M:TG and Heroscape on Wednesdays, RPG’s and board game group meet-ups on Thursdays and Friday Night Magic (actually, we are doing the Zendikar release party this week) as usual.  Weekends remain unaffected, other than store entry points.

Be brave and stop in soon!

Shippensburg RPG Camp, 1982

I stumbled upon this article about a Dungeons & Dragons summer camp that was held at Shippensburg University from 1981 through 1985.  The camps were open to ages 10-17, but mostly atracted 13 & 14 yr olds.  The author interviewed one of the campers about his experience.

Should we run summer game camps for kids next year?  Would you like to help make it happen?  Let us know!

September Demo Game Nights
Every Tuesday & Thrusday night in September!

This month we are going to try something a little different with demo nights.  Instead of a specific night dedicated to 1 or 2 games, how’s about we have 5 or 6 games on tap for the entire month?  All I want to know ahead of time is which nights you are coming and which games you want to play on a given night.

Here’s what I have put together so far… (more…)
