Conflict of Heroes @ 7pm; Settlers of Catan @ 7:30pm. We’ve got two big events that we want to make sure everyone hears about. First, this Saturday we are going to host a Star Trek-themed Day! To celebrate the 48th Anniversary of the television premiere of Star Trek (actually on the 8th, but weekends!) we’re throwing a party. We’ll have Federation Of Beer’s Vulcan Ale, all you can eat Earth Pizza, courtesy of our friends over at Little Caesars of Lynnwood, space-themed games and a free Terrace tournament (a strategy game featured on ST: TNG) and more! We’re also coming up on the 6 month anniversary of our Grand Opening! On the following Saturday, the 13th, we’ll be having a Customer Appreciation event to thank you all for making this place such a fun and welcoming environment. It’s never work for us to be here and we have you to thank for that! We’ll be playing games, having free door prizes and all the games will be 15% off! See you here!

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.
