Labor Day Sale (and New Comics Delay)

The bad news is that Labor Day will be delaying new comics day. New comics will be available on Thursday, September 9th instead of Wednesday, September 8th.

The good news is we're having a big sale on Labor Day itself, Monday September 6th. We'll be offering 15% off on all role-playing game books, Games Workshop games, board and non-collectible card games and graphic novels (including manga) all day September 6th, so come in and pick up those games or graphic novels that have been tempting you for a while!

BOARD & CARD GAMES

DC HC Watchmen Collectors Boxed Set
The HeroClix Watchmen Collector's Set includes 25 highly detailed miniatures of the film's characters, including Dr. Manhattan, Rorschach, Nite Owl, and Silk Spectre. Each figure features a sculpt based on the character's appearance in the film, and they are compatible with other HeroClix sets, allowing you to pit your favorite characters against the heroes and villains of Watchmen.

Fictionaire
Introducing a new twist to the classic Dictionary / Balderdash, Fictionaire encourages players to devise bogus definitions or fake answers to a word or question asked by the game's host - trying to trick them into believing their answer is correct. Choosing the right definition - or getting someone to pick your answer - earns you points. The Fictionaire Game Series includes four uniquely themed card packs, each with 120 thought provoking questions - Classic Fictionaire; Naturals - Chronicles of the Physical World; Tall Tales - Strange Stories from a Weird World; and Fool Science - The Compendium of Scientific Wonders.

Descent Sea of Blood Mounted Game Board
Whether you're the vile Overlord, planning the demise of The Revenge, or the intrepid sailors battling to foil his plot, the Sea of Blood Ocean Map Board will bring you and your crew smooth sailing. Designed to replace the Ocean Poster Map from the Descent: Sea of Blood expansion, this double-sided, folding tactical map board features a beautifully rendered island on one side and open ocean on the other.

Dungeon Quest
In DungeonQuest, players take on the roles of bold (or foolish) heroes willing to brave the legendary dangers and twisting corridors of Dragonfire Dungeon in their quest for unimaginable riches hoarded by the Dragon Lord Kalladra.

Magical Athlete
It is the annual athletic festival in a fantasy world, and players must draft their team of runners from the likes of the Medusa, Ninja, Centaur, Witch, and other creatures, each wielding special abilities that make the races challenging and unpredictable.

Road Kill Rally
In the future, the Road Kill Rally is the most watched sport in the world. It is also the most violent as racers shoot at each other - as well as unwary pedestrians! Refit your murder machine with killer accessories in this rapacious road rally that comes complete with a slew of miniatures (six cars and 40 oblivious pedestrians).

Duel of the Giants
From the creators of Duel in the Dark! It's Russians versus Germans as Duel of the Giants recreates the great tank battles on the Eastern Front in 1943. As the German player, are you prepared to defend your section of the front against the endless Red hordes? Or, as the Soviet player, can you break through the Fascist lines and continue the advance towards Berlin?

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

Song of Ice & Fire Pocket Edition
Based on George R.R. Martin's fantasy epic, A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying gives you everything you need to play and run games in the Seven Kingdoms using an all new and easy to learn game system specifically designed to evoke the atmosphere of these best-selling novels. This Pocket Edition of the core rulebook comes in a convenient size and includes the complete content of the original, updated with all known errata.

Warhammer Fantasy RPG Edge of Night
Set against the backdrop of Ubersreik and its political upper crust, The Edge of Night thrusts players into a world of mystery and intrigue! The city is bustling with activity as three noble families make their presence known, each vying for power in a time of political unrest. Meanwhile, to take their attention from the unnatural glow of Morrslieb, the nobility of Ubersreik prepare for a grand masquerade. But something sinister lurks beneath the guise of the festivities! This Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay adventure features complete details of this rich setting, a complex cast of characters with plenty of secrets to hide, and all the materials needed to immerse the players into the story.

Deadlands Reloaded Players Guide
The Deadlands Reloaded Player's Guide includes new rules for shootouts at high noon, new Edges, Hindrances, and powers, and everything a cowpoke needs to begin his journey into the Weird West.

D&D Essentials Fantasy RPG Red Box
This boxed set contains everything needed to start playing the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game, including rules for creating heroes, advice for playing the Dungeon Master, a solo play adventure, and group-play adventure content.

D&D Red Box Game Day - September 11, 2010

On September 11th, come celebrate the release of the new D&D Essentials line of products and the new Dungeons & Dragons Fantasy Roleplaying Game with a classic-style adventure and a retro game experience!

Venture into Sunderpeak Temple, long a bastion of good on the edges of the wildernes that has succumbed to an unknown threat. You have been tasked to journey to the site of the temple and find out what has befallen its residents, as the priests are needed to destroy an enchanted skill imbued with necromantic magic. Will you face down the dark denizens that dwell within and learn the truth of the temple’s fate? A Dungeons & Dragons adventure designed for 4-6 pregenerated characters of 2nd level.

The event will start at approximately 12:30 PM and run until approximately 4:30 PM. You can sign up for either or both by dropping us an email at roguesgallerytx@gmail.com. We always try to have spots open for walk-ins, but the best way to guarantee a spot is to sign up ahead of time!
