There are some upcoming events at Lake Geneva Games I thought I might mention for those in the area or who might be visiting Wisconsin. Every Thursday from 3 pm to 9 pm is Open Boardgaming. Open Boardgaming also takes place on the First Sunday of each month from Noon to Nine. There is a Facebook event set up for this Thursday, June 16th, here and one for the next First Sunday event, July 3rd, here.
Also, this Saturday, June 18th, is an open casual event for all Dice Masters collectors and players called Dice Masters Lives! A Facebook event has been set up for that one here.
Finally, if you love Magic the Gathering, please stop in the store for Friday Night Magic on Friday, of course, at 6 pm and the store also runs a Free MtG Standard event on Monday evening at 6 pm. No sign up is required but get there in plenty of time to make sure you can be included!
Recently on Facebook, Larry Roznai of Mayfair Games offered up tons of Gemstones dice that he needed to clear out from the Mayfair Games warehouse. I jumped on the chance to drive down to Skokie, IL, to load up the trunk of my car with as many as they'd allow me to take, and load we did! They were in their display boxes, 12 sets to a box in blister packs.
Each blister pack includes one d20, one d12, one d10, one d8, and one d4. They are translucent and in a number of vibrant colors. These are dice that were sold back in 1992 and left over but wonderful for RPGers. Just add some d6s and you're off to the races!
I asked Larry if he'd be fine with me offering them up in the Swag Bags at Gary Con VIII, and I cleared it with Luke Gygax, so expect these as part of the loot! I'd like to thank Larry Roznai, as well as Jim, Brad, and everyone at Mayfair for their help securing these goodies. While we're talking Mayfair, Larry Roznai joined the dee fwNerdNight YouTube channel for a live stream
(recorded) where he discusses the Catan North America distribution rights being picked up by Asmodee as well as many, many other subjects. Enjoy!
