New releases

Featured New Release

Dungeons and Dragons 4th edition- $34.95 (per book)
The Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game has defined the medieval fantasy genre and the tabletop RPG industry for more than 30 years. In the D&D game, players create characters that band together to explore dungeons, slay monsters, and find treasure. The 4th Edition D&D rules offer the best possible play experience by presenting exciting character options, an elegant and robust rules system, and handy storytelling tools for the Dungeon Master.

Role-Playing Games

H1 Keep on the Shadowfell - $29.95 (complete with 4th edition quick start rules)
The town of Winterhaven stands watch over a ruined keep that was once a bastion of good in the realm. This keep overlooks the Shadow Rift, a dark scar in the world that was once a gateway to the Shadowfell but has been dormant for many years. Now, an evil cleric of Orcus, Demon Lord of the Undead, seeks to re-open the gate, and the only thing standing in his way is a small yet determined band of heroes.

40K RPG Dark Heresy Inquisitor's Handbook- $44.95
Ready your bolter and fulfil your destiny! The Inquisitor's Handbook is the essential tome for creating richly developed, properly equipped, and thoroughly indoctrinated Acolytes to serve the God-Emperor in the 41st Millennium. Explore advanced character generation, alternative ranks, and career paths. Equip yourself with a host of weapons and gear from across the forges, hives, and warzones of the Calixis Sector. And discover hints and tips on establishing alter egos, gaining new contacts and informants, and other detailed advice for agents of the Golden Throne.

40K RPG Dark Heresy Purge The Unclean - $33.95
Introducing three linked, but very different, journeys into the shadows of the Imperium within the Calixis Sector.

Board Games

Ticket to Ride Card Game- $25.00
The Ticket to Ride Card Game delivers all of the excitement, fun and nail-biting tension of the original Ticket to Ride board game, but with several unique game-play twists in a new stand-alone, card game format. You'll collect sets of illustrated Train cards which are then used to complete Destination Tickets - routes between two cities depicted on each ticket. But you'll first face the risk of "train-robbers" forcing you to lose your hard-earned cards. The Ticket to Ride Card Game is the perfect portable way to take your next new train adventure!

Change Horses - $49.95
Do you have trouble winning at racing games. Well, this game is for the losers out there. Yes, to "win" the game, you have to pick the horse which comes in last. Sounds simple, but, of course, the other players are trying to lose as well.

Ticket to Ride 1910 - $20.00 (FInally back!)
Ticket to Ride - USA 1910™ is a new card expansion for the original Ticket to Ride board game. It consists of 181 new large format cards (the same size as Ticket to Ride Europe and Märklin), that include: 35 new Destination Tickets, a new GlobeTrotter bonus card for completing the most tickets, plus a complete replacement deck of all the cards from the original game deck.

Also included is a new rulebook that gives Ticket to Ride players three new ways to play the game including 1910 rules - games using only the new Destination Tickets; the Mega Game, featuring all the tickets; and Big Cities, which uses only tickets to certain large citie

Stone Age - $44.95
The times were hard indeed. Our ancestors worked with their legs and backs straining against wooden ploughs in the stony earth. Of course, progress did not stop with the wooden plough. People always searched for better tools and more productive plants to make their work more effective. In Stone Age, the players live in this time, just as our ancestors did. They collect wood, break stone and wash their gold from the river. They trade freely, expand their village and so achieve new levels of civilization.

Announcing the EndGame RPG Demo Series!

We walked out of the last MiniCon with a total warm and fuzzy feeling for Role-Playing. It was one of our bigger MiniCons in a while. There were a buncha people who got to try games that were brand new to them, and that got us noodling...

We are pleased to present the EndGame RPG Demo Series. What is that, you may ask? We have worked with many of the same GMs you see at the MiniCons to bring you short, but sweet 'demo sessions' of games you may not have tried yet. Consider the whole series a very long wine tasting...but with dice! The schedule, and how to sign up are ready, up, and raring to take sign ups. Join us, it will be a hoot.
