Magic the Gathering Summer League

Beginning on Tuesday June 7th, Pulp will start running regular standard constructed Magic events.  Jared Wolfe (who’s giant genius brain came up with this idea) has created an event page on the Face of Books, so if you would like to check out the information and let us know if you’re attending you should follow this link.  For those without Facebooks, here is a plagiarized version of Jared’s explanation.

Anyone regardless of skill or experience is welcome!

We will meet from 7 PM to 10 PM Every Tuesday in the month of June.
If for some reason a participant cannot make 1 week a substitute player will be allowed (message me for details).

The format is standard constructed. (M11, Zendikar, and Scars of Mirrodin Block)

There is a $20 dollar entry fee for each player that will cover the entire month of June (only $5 a week)!

Prize payout will be in store credit to be spent on magic related products and will be given out the last week of the month. Everyone is guaranteed 1 booster back from the Scars of Mirrodin Block.

Payout size will completely depend on the amount of players. More players mean larger prizes from top to bottom and if we have enough participation there could be prize support beyond the entry fee (that means invite everyone you know who plays magic)!

If you have any questions or concerns about the League please feel free to send me (addition: Or PULP.  *Wink*) a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

New Game Stuff (4/16/2011)

Fair warning, this week’s post is going to be a bit of a tease.

The PREVIEW (preview is in caps, because these minis are NOT FOR SALE YET) figures of the new Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings release have arrived.  If you’re not familiar with the older Tomb Kings or this re-release of them, they are Egyptian mummies, skeletons, and beasties.  The preview figures include Tomb Guard, the Khemrian Warsphinx/Necrosphinx, Necropolis Knights/Sepulchral Stalkers, and the new Tomb Kings Codex HC.

As I said at the beginning, these figures will not be available for sale until May 8th.  Until then, though, you can come get a look at them, as they are on display above the new game shelf.

Since we’re talking about Warhammer miniatures, I think it’s a good time to plug (in case you haven’t seen the posts on our Facebook) the mini painting night that we’ve been holding every Monday at 6:00.  Bring your paints, bring your minis, bring, uh, yourself and come hang at Pulp with other mini-minded folks.

Going along with the Legend of the Five Rings CCG box that we received last week, now we have the L5R RPG hardcover, Emerald Empire.  This is the fourth, and newest version, of the Emerald Empire book, which details life, social classes, geography, laws, martial arts schools, and clans of the Rokugan empire.  If you’ve never played or interacted with any of the L5R world, but love Japanese history, culture, and samurai, then this would be an ideal world for you to invest in.

A restock note:  Pulp also received a new shipment of 2011 Deck Builder’s Toolkits.  If you’re a Magic player, new or old, and haven’t picked one up, they are a quick, cheap, and easy way to nab 285 cards from the M11, Worldwake, Zendikar, and Rise of Eldrazi sets.  Each box contains 125 semi-random cards (which means there are about four or five pre-arranged sets and you  have the chance of getting one of them), four booster packs, 100 lands, and all the materials needed to learn basic Magic.  As the Worldwake, Zendikar, and Rise sets are no longer being printed, this kit is a great way to get some hard to find cards before they become hard and expensive to find.

New Games (9/3/2010)

Marty!  We have to go back to the game store!

Oh, yeah, that’s right.  A Back to the Future card game by Looney Labs.

Better than a Sports Almanac from 1950

If you’ve ever played Chrononauts from Looney you know this is a perfect fit.  Basically, you start with a general timeline of events laid out on the table.  Throughout the game, each player attempts to complete a mission by altering events on the timeline.  Yes, you go back in time and futz with things.  Sooo fun.

The second game this week we’d like to bring your attention to too is a new deck building card game similar to Dominion, called Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer.

The Andys saw this one demoed at GenCon and loved it.  The buzz was that it was gonna be loved by anyone who digs Dominion, but that it also had a better rules system.  Got me interested.

And the third game on the hit parade should be exciting to any fan of Dungeons & Dragons out there, the new D&D Castle Ravenloft Boardgame.

'Nuff Said

Also, it’s worth mentioning for any Magic players out there, we got a restock on M11, Worldwake (both boosters and fat packs), and also got in the new From the Vaults: Artifacts.

Can I shove any more pictures into this thing?!!!
