Building community, growing the gaming scene, and being a fun place to play & hang out are very important to us at Armored Gopher. We owe a great deal of what makes us great to the many folks that come here, and in some cases, CAME here. When folks move away, we miss them. Sometimes so much that we hold _reunion_tournaments_ in an effort to get them to come "home".

We have an awesome group of regulars that play 40K here, and it is due in some part to a few guys that have since moved away. Mr. Chambers & Mr. Hunter have done a great deal to grow the 40K community here. As they say, no good deed goes unpunished. One of the most popular & best known 40K blogs/networks did a writeup of our friends Chambers & Farmpunk this week. Please take a moment to check out  this article & the blogs involved. Give some props to our friends & the great community we have here!

Yep... it's about 2:10 in the afternoon on Jaurary 7th and I am sitting in the toasty confines of the Gopher. The trek from Homer was, thankfully, non-eventful.

So yes, we will be open our usual hours today (3p -11p). Whoever wants to join me here is welcome to. =)

Just please be careful out there.

peace... Dave

'Tis official now... Armored Gopher Games can now hold Wizards of the Coast DCI/WPN-sanctioned events!

With the Alara block draft on January 22nd, Armored Gopher Games begins its push for Friday Night Magic!

To get this, we need to hold 4+ sanctioned events in a 12-month period that have at least 30 unique DCI/WPN-sanctioned players, at least SIX of which have to be new to organized play. Also, at least one of our events has to draw more than twelve (12) people. WHEW!

That's a lot, but I have confidence that we can do it!

Hey Folks...

As it goes early in the new year, I am slowly jumping through the hoops and crashing through the gates that are the (ever-changing) requirements to get WPN/DCI sanctioning for Magic: the Gathering events here at the Gopher.

Until then, we are just going to do our own thing. On slate for this month are two booster drafts and another Peasant Magic constructed tournament.

The Booster Drafts will run on January 8th (Zendikar draft, 2010 prizes) and January 22nd (Alara block draft, Zendikar prizes), with details listed at each event.

The Peasant Magic tourney is happening on January 16th, and details are listed here.

Once I know more of our sanctioning status with WotC, I will pass the news onto you guys.

peace... GopherDave
