Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day, we’d like to express our gratitude and appreciation to all members of the armed services. Our freedom and way of life comes from your spilt blood and sacrifice. Thank you!

Today we’re open our usual hours (11am – 10pm) and offering a 15% game discount to all active or former members of our Armed Forces. Plus, we’ve got the Lynnwood Magic MeetUp @ 6:30pm; Euro Game Night @ 7pm. We’ll be playing Splendor as well as others.

Tuesday: Beer Tasting from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.

We just got done watching this great video by the guys over at Shut Up and Sit Down. A wonderfully entertaining look at a megagame — this one the nations of the earth battling an alien invasion. It’s a long one, but lots of fun.

Tim Morgan

When Tim Morgan told his high school guidance counselor that he wanted to publish games for a living, the response was a clueless, “Uhhhh, you’ll probably want some college then.” Twenty-five years later, while still not publishing games for a living, he has made games his life -- over twenty years as the manager of a game store in Seattle, playtester of more RPGs and board games than you can shake a stick at, and small-press publisher of several games and even more novels. And now, co-owner of the ‘Round the Table Game Pub in Lynnwood. He currently lives in Everett, WA, where he is the caretaker of four (no, five!) lolcats, the oppressive taskmaster of a teenaged daughter, and the devoted husband of a wonderful author. His latest work is Ellis: Kingdom in Turmoil, a full RPG rules system and setting, detailing a low-fantasy world where religion is king and morality matters.
