D&D Encounters: Web of the Spider Queen

Play Dates: May 16 – August 15, 2012


Beware the Darkness Below...

 

Long past are the days when drow ruled over Shadowdale from the Twisted Tower—or are they? Beneath the sleepy farming community, an old evil stirs. The drow and their foul Underdark minions have set eyes on the Dalelands, but to what end is anyone’s guess. Now, it’s up to an unlikely band of adventurers to defend Shadowdale from the drow threat and learn what Lolth and her villainous followers are up to. Success means a respite from danger. Failure could doom the surface world.

 

Join a group of adventurers—from the surface world and/or the depths of the Underdark—caught in the middle of Lolth’s most treacherous scheme. Web of the Spider Queen is a Dungeon & Dragons Roleplaying Game adventure designed for the spring 2012 season of the D&D Encounters official play program. An adventure for characters of 1-3 level and featuring thirteen ready-to-play encounters, prepare to defeat enemies, solve puzzles, finish quests, and perform heroic deeds. Read a preview of what to anticipate for this season in an article by Derek Myers by clicking here.

 

D&D Encounters is an exciting, weekly campaign that plays out one epic encounter at a time. Each session only takes 1-2 hours to play, so it’s easy to fit your game in after school or work. And each week there’s a new and exciting challenge. Jump in anytime! Prior to the adventure, players will have a session set aside to create 1st-level characters. The events are FREE but please arrive a few minutes early so that we can start each session on time.

Lupin The Third:

The Board Game


Lupin The Third brings the characters of the decades-old manga series Lupin III, created by Kazuhiko Kato, to the game board, with players taking the role of one of five characters from the series, each represented by a colorful miniature: The unpredictable gentleman thief Lupin; his inseparable friend with the unerring aim, Jigen; the taciturn master swordsman Goemon Ishikawa XIII; the charming and mischievous Fujiko Mine, Lupin's love interest, and the stubborn and indefatigable Inspector Zenigata.


Lupin The Third has elements of a reverse Scotland Yard in that one of the players will control Inspector Zenigata and be visible on the game board along with his team of police agents, while the other players will work together to try to steal the treasure and escape; these players are visible only when within view of Zenigata and the police, but both sides can use tricks to misdirect the other. What's more, as in the comic, Fujiko Mine can betray the group to try to escape with the treasure on her own!


The game comes with an action deck of cards, and the double sided board game features two different scenarios for the heist-centered gameplay. The rulebook is written in both Italian and English, making the symbols on the action cards easy to read. Call or come in to get your copy in-store today!


Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier

 

In the escalating political climate of the near future—where strategies on the battlefield must be delicately balanced with maneuvers at the negotiating table—a new breed of soldier has arisen. Trained to be better than the best and outfitted with the most comprehensive array of high-tech gear ever assembled, the future soldier stands apart by his ability to remain undetected. He slips unseen behind enemy lines. He uses the perfect combination of diplomacy and force to achieve his objectives while remaining politically invisible. He is a Ghost.


As a member of the elite Ghost Recon, you are among the few who possess the power, the adaptability, and the cognitive fortitude of the future soldier. Specialized in every area of combat, equipped for survival, and trained in absolute discretion, you are entrusted with the missions no other soldier can handle. Armed to the teeth with an arsenal of real-world high-tech weaponry only in prototype today, you are an F-16 on legs, trained to lock-on to your objective even in the world’s most complex, high-risk warzones.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Booster Pack - Galactic Overlord


Thousands of years ago, the ancient city of Heliopolis was guarded by nine ancient Dragons - the Hieratic Dragons! Together, these Hieratic Dragons defended civilization against threats you cannot even imagine. Wielding the power of their mysterious Hieratic Seals, none could challenge the power of the Hieratic Dragons. Especially when they called down the ultimate power of the sun itself, by Summoning the Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of Heliopolis! Now, after several millennia, the Hieratic Dragons of Heliopolis have finally been reborn. But this time, they have come to defend YOU - against your opponents! Galactic Overlord has many other Dragon-boosting cards that don't just power up a Hieratic Deck, but also work in MANY other Decks:

  • Draconnection exchanges one Dragon from your hand with one from your Deck, as long as they both have the same Level.  If you're playing with different Dragons that share the same Level, Draconnection lets you exchange what you have for what you need, when you need it. And best of all, it works in ANY Deck that uses Dragons.
  • Hieratic Dragons do a lot of Tributing, and get a lot of free effects when they're Tributed. Trial and Tribulation is the ultimate Spell Card for rewarding a Tribute-heavy Deck, and works great for Hieratic Decks, Ritual Decks, Tribute Summon-heavy Decks, and many other Decks, even if they don't use Dragons at all!
  • Are you feeling lucky? Then try out one of these Rank 7 Xyz Monsters from Galactic Overlord. Number 7: Lucky Straight lets you roll the dice to decide how strong it is, and if you roll 7, it gains incredible extra powers! With the right roll of the dice, you can send everything else on the field to the Graveyard, Special Summon a monster of your choice, or cycle through the top 3 cards of your Deck.

These are just a few of the highlights in Galactic Overlord. There are also new cards for Inzektors, Evols, Photons, and many other Decks, plus some cool new cards from the TV show, including new monsters like the Bounzers! Galactic Overlord releases on May 8 and contains 100 cards: 48 Common Cards, 20 Rare Cards, 14 Super Rare Cards, 10 Ultra Rare Cards, and 8 Secret Rare Cards. See our Calendar for Sneak Peek events scheduled April 28-29!
