Saturday, September 19th is Worldwide D&D Day

This Dungeons and Dragons event gives attendees an opportunity to partcipate in group adventure design and then to play another group's adventure. No experience necessary. No paraphanalia required either, but if you have your own dice and Player's Handbook, bring them in and you won't have to share!

Gen Con Indy - Catan North American Championsips

Hi All - sorry for the long gap in blog postings - I've been busy elsewhere, among other things, away from the store with a nasty cold. I'll try to delegate if this happens again!

Ian Watson, our entrant in the Catan North American Championships, had a great time at Gen Con an placed 9th over all in the Catan Tournament. Top prize went to another Canadian, Edgar Zurawell, who gets to go to Germany next year. Congrats Edgar! For a sample of what went on in the Mayfair booth, check out the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sswuIaG-hPo . Ian Watson can be picked out of the crowd by his CBC t-shirt.

I'll post again very soon - before the end of the week with a list of upcoming events at Minotaur!

I'll post his results when I get them!
