Happy Labor Day! Did you know? We’re open today until 10:00pm! And we’ve got a bunch of things going on: 1st Edition D&D with Ron @ 6pm; Euro Boardgame Learn n’ Play @ 6-10pm; Lynnwood Magic MeetUp: EDH and more! @ 6:30pm. Tuesday: Beer Tasting from 6-8pm; Worker Placement Games with Trent & Beth @ 6:30pm ( we’ll be teaching Robinson Crusoe!); Catanamaniacs @ 7:30pm. Have you all recovered from PAX? We hope you avoided the Pax Pox! We had a busy weekend without you and took in a huge pile of used games. Some classics like Dark Tower (yes, that Dark Tower), Talisman (3rd Ed.), Gladiator and Fortress America. There’s some staples of every family-game collection, like Pente, Scattergories, Hoax, Risk, Snohomish County-opoly and Oh Hell. And there’s a bunch of first-wave European imports from the late 90s, like Modern Art, Montgolfiere, Quo Vadis, Message to the Czar, Space Walk and Buffalo. I suppose I should also mention the wargames too: War: Age of Imperialism, Material World, Worldkiller (by SPI), Third Reich and others! Here’s a few pics. See you soon!

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.
