DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
Wed. May 7th (6:00 p.m.) - Free
Every other week, our sadistic Dungeon Master Jeff guides players through another chapter of role-playing adventure. If you’re a new player that would like to try a session, our DM will get you set up with a ready-to-play character to join our regular group so you can get a taste of this popular RPG, and you’re also welcome to just sit in and observe. The game begins at 6:00 p.m., the game is free, so stop by, make some new friends and have fun!
MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS Role Playing Game
Wed. April 30th (6:00 p.m.) - Free
Always wanted to play a tabletop role playing game? Did you wish it was set in the world of the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers? Then do we have an event for you!
Beginning this week, our Morphin' volunteer Derrick will be running the POWER RANGERS RPG here at Screaming Monkey Comics. It's free, and Derrick will have ready-to-play character sheets ready to go to get your started. If everyone likes it, we'll add a bi-weekly game to our schedule where you can have a chance to design your own characters. So grab your morphin' ring (or whatever, I don't know I never watched the show) and be at the game table at 6:00 p.m
MAGIC: OMNISCIENCE DRAFT EVENT
Fri. May 2nd (7:00 p.m.) - $20 entry fee
Each player chooses three packs from our inventory of draft packs. After the draft is completed, we play a normal set of three rounds with the following special rules:
Each player has an omniscience emblem that changes all creatures and spells to a cost of zero mana, and you may tap the emblem once per turn to give yourself one mana of all five colors for the turn.
You begin the game with three cards in your hands. Since everything has a zero cost, you can summon creatures immediately.
It's quick and chaotic mayhem - but make sure you draft the right cards....it's not as easy as you think!
1st place – 6 packs of MAGIC + Special MAGIC Enamel Pin
2nd place - 4 packs of MAGIC
3rd place – 3 packs of MAGIC
4th – 6th place - 2 packs of MAGIC
All other players – 1 pack of MAGIC

LORCANA: WEEKLY PLAY EVENT
Sun. May 4th (1:00 p.m.) - Entry Fee: $10
It’s another chapter in the Lorcana Weekly Play event – today’s game is CONSTRUCTED! Put your best deck together and prepare for four rounds of Lorcana! Every player will win at least one booster pack, somebody takes home a deck box, eight people will get promo cards and First Place takes home their choice of a BOLT or a MAD HATTER enamel pin!
1st Place receives 5 booster packs of LORCANA
All other players receive 1 booster pack for each round they win
(And if you don’t have a very enchanted day and get swept, you still get a pack.)
And every player who shows up to a weekly LORCANA game gets their name tossed into the LORCANA BUCKET OF DESTINY! (If we draw your name next week, you’ll receive one of the coveted Amber Pins!)
• A flag on a plane indicates this player has conquered the entire plane.
• Partial segments means that it's partially controlled by the player matching that color. (Clear or pure white segments are uncontrolled territories.)
• The flags on the bottom of the chart indicates their place on the leaderboard, going from first to last. To get on the leaderboard, you have to finish in the top eight in any of the Friday night games this season!
MAGIC: THE BLIGHTS OF SPRING
(What is this all about?)
THE BLIGHTS OF SPRING is an extra layer of fun that we're adding to our Friday Night Magic events!
Your goal is to control the entire multiverse of planes in MAGIC - but to do that, you'll need to finish in the
Top Eight of as many of our Friday Night games as you can!
• Each individual event will be it's own game. Three 50-minute rounds, best of 3.
(Rules will vary slightly for our COMMANDER events)
• There are 15 worlds on each map, and each plane is made up of 5 territories.
At the end of every game....
• 1st place wins 5 booster packs
• If you get a 3 - 0 record (but didn't win 1st place) you win 3 booster packs
• If you get a 2 - 1 record, you win 2 booster packs
• If you get a 1 - 2 record (or a 0 - 3), you take home one booster pack.
1st place conquers an entire plane (each plane is divided into five territories)
2nd - 4th place conquers 3 territories
5th - 8th place conquers 2 territories
TERRITORY CONQUEST RULES:
At the end of each night's event, players will tell the host which territory they wish to claim. There are fifteen worlds on the map, and each world is divided into five territories. We begin with the person at the top of the ranks, moving down.
Rule 1. You may claim any unclaimed territory on the map. The current map is listed above.
Rule 2. If you wish to STEAL a territory owned by another player, you may.......as long as they are:
• Not in attendance for that evening's game
• They ARE in attendance, but they ranked lower than you for that evening's game
Rule 3. A player's controlled plane is immune from capture as long as he/she has loose territories on other planes. These smaller territories must be claimed first before you can begin cutting into that player's controlled plane.
