This is a league for NEW and experienced Netrunner players to try new decks and meet new players. The only thing required to play is your own cards. The league will run for 4 weeks, from February 22nd to March 15th at the store during regular business hours. Sign up and record sheets will be available at the counter on the first day of the league. Now for the details:

Start date: February 22nd, 2014
End date: March 15th, 2014
Entrance fee: Free!

Venue: Imagine Games and Hobbies during normal business hours (if for some reason you need to make alternate arrangements, contact the league organizers).

Deck/ Card Restrictions: None, all currently released cards from all sets are legal. Players are required to follow normal deck construction rules.

Organizers: David Miller and Michael Haire. Feel free to private message us with any questions on Facebook.

Finding Other Players: There are usually players at the store Wednesday evenings and all day Saturday. You can also find players to arrange games with in the Winnipeg Android Netrunner Group.

Format: Players will have to play 1 match each week consisting of 4 games against 1 other player. They will play 2 games with their Corp deck and 2 games with their Runner deck. They will not be allowed to alter their decks once a match has begun. Players can not play the same person twice in a row.

Each week players will need to use a deck from a different Corp and Runner faction, playing each faction at least once. For the last week players can use a different identity from a Runner faction they’ve already played.

Players should try to play only other players in the league but can play someone not participating as long as they both adhere to the league format. A player should let their opponent know before the game begins that they are counting it as their league match.

Your opponent does not have to count the game as their league match if they don’t want to or have already played as long as they let you know before the match begins.
The player who wins the most games in the match will receive 2 match points, the loser will receive 1. If there is a tie, both players receive a match point. Players will also get 1 agenda point for each agenda point they scored or stole in each game. These will be used as a tie breaker. The player with the most League points at the end will be the League Champion.

Hope to see you out!

Hey, I mentioned on here last week that we carry a lot of good used games and miniatures. I’d like to highlight a few of them here for you. First off, some “end of the world” type RPGS!

In Nomine  “is a role-playing game designed by Derek Pearcy and published in 1997 by Steve Jackson Games,based on the French game In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas. Players typically assume the role of angels and demons in a setting that draws heavily on the traditional Christian mythos. In Nomine won the Origins Award for Best Graphic Presentation of a Roleplaying Game, Adventure, or Supplement of 1997.” – from boardgamegeek.com.   We’ve got the core book and a bunch of supplements for this game, so if you’ve wanted to try it out, now is the time!

Unknown Armies “is the roleplaying game of transcendental horror and furious action: Pulp Fiction meets Hellraiser. In Unknown Armies, players take the roles of movers and shakers in the occult underground, fighting a battle for the ultimate prize: ascension to a higher plane and a hand in creating the next incarnation of reality… Magickal adepts duke it out with gun-toting enforcers and weirdos of every stripe. Clockwork humans and plodding golems slip through the cracks of society. Entropics eat your memories and spit them back at you with poison added. Fringe groups like the Sect of the Naked Goddess, Mak Attax, The True Order of Saint-Germain, and the New Inquisition have all set their sights on the coming apocalypse and put their ante on the table. The only people you can trust are your friends are yourself, and you’re not always sure about yourself. It’s a pulp apocalypse, and the players have front-row seats for the steel-cage death match of all eternity.” – from boardgamegeek.com. We’ve got multiple copies of the core book, and a couple of supplements.

We’ve also got a couple of other apocalyptic games, such as Nephilim and The End.

On the other side of the crazy coin, we’ve got Over the Edge, “a surreal role-playing game of secrets and conspiracies, taking place on the mysterious Island of Al Amarja. It was created by Jonathan Tweet with Robin Laws, and published by Atlas Games. Over The Edge departed from the model of predefined character attributes and skills, in favour of player-chosen traits; and was among the first to be based on the dice pool, where the number of dice rolled, rather than how they are interpreted, is determined by the characters’ abilities.” We’ve got the core book, and plenty of supplements.

We also have the classic horror RPG Chill, again with plenty of supplements.

 So why not drop on by today and browse our large collection of used games (rpgs, board games, miniatures), as well as our stock of new games, and surplus (new and used)!

IT’S HERE!
The latest wave of 2014: Born of the Gods!

We’ve got BOOSTERS PACKS ($3.99 each, or a box of 36 for $122)

We’ve got FATPACKS ($39.99)

And we’ve got INTRO PACKS ($14.99 each)

Drop on by this weekend!

(Sorry, no holds on any of these items – in store purchase only, while supplies last – although we will always reorder when we run out!).

New stock in today!

One of the products we got included Zombicide supplements: Prison Outbreak and Toxic City Mall!

Also, the very cool looking Numenera Ninth World Bestiary, from the mind of Monte Cook!

Also, a bunch of restock of Red Dragon Inn, Galaxy Trucker, Dominion, Android Netrunner, and other things! Come on down and check it all out!

Have you always wanted to find out what all the hub-bub was about concerning Warmachine and Hordes? Have you secretly wanted to run your own Warcaster and lead a team of titanic forces into battle with tiny miniatures!? Interested in what is required to start playing the game?

Then look no further! This weekend (February 8 and 9) from noon till 5:00pm, our experienced Privateer Press Gangers will be on hand with their own miniatures to run a few demo games. All materials will be available to play a few practice games, and they will be here to answer all your questions about the hobby.
And if you’re already a player that has some forces ready to go (whether you’re experienced or not), drop on by and play some games on our open gaming tables (lots of great terrain to use!).

For those of you wondering what I’m talking about (“War-whatsit? Hordes of who?”), here’s the down and dirty:

Both games are published by Privateer Press. Both are miniature skirmish games set in the Iron Kingdoms (one is more sci-fi oriented, the other has a fantasy bend), both combine fantasy with steam power and gun powder for all out explosive action! Check out their website for more information!

And we hope to see you down here this weekend, for either the Warmachine and Hordes demo games, or just to browse our selection of RPGs, board games, card games, used games, or our army surplus supplies!
