I hope everyone is safe and warm. Just some updates, the 4th Ed. Monday game is postponed until 3/9/09 due to safety concerns with driving in possible icy conditions after game. Upper Deck has cancelled the VS. line of CCG's, we will continue the Friday night games as long as supplies last. That being said we are considering new games for the Friday night game sessions. Please let us know what you are interested in. Shelley is going to be starting up a Saturday afternoon Magic game sessions for very soon!!! We are looking for Magic Judges to Oversee these events. Please keep watch for Announcements.

Gotta get new Readers!!!

Hi All,

Wanted to make sure to everyone that we do have subscription service with discounts based on number of items requested, we will also make arrangments to take care of our regular Gaming Friends!

On the gaming note, we need registered refs to run sanctioned games!!! We have already started the process of getting the store registered with the companies, but We can't ref games and run them too. If you would like to ref or know someone fair and reliable, please let Us know.

On a final note Kevin Smith is writing a three issue Batman Limited which starts this week.... Just thought I'd mention it.
