Free Role-Playing Game Day and Sale on Saturday!

Nick Abadzis added to our slew of great signing events this summer when he appeared at our Bethesda store last Saturday, if you missed it we have copies of his new Hugo Tate book available with hand-sketches inside!

This Saturday in our Vienna and College Park stores we will be celebrating Free Role-Playing Game Day with a bunch of free games and sample games to be given out! In our College Park store we will be having a sale on all our games, from 5% to 30% off! Come in to College Park and see what is on sale!

Also, to celebrate our 50th podcast on June 27, we will be having a live podcast, broadcast from our Vienna store at 8 pm, and you are all invited! If you want to come in and watch the podcast, and come up and add your comments or questions to the show, please do! We will have more information about it soon, but lock it in to your schedule!

June 16 - Free Role-Playing Game Day

Much like Free Comic Book Day, Free Role-Playing Game (RPG) Day is an annual event where publishers send us some cool stuff to give away free – adventures, modules, game samples, dice, and intro games! We'll have this free game stuff at both our Vienna and College Park stores all day, but we are only given a limited amount of items, so come in early if you want to be sure to get the ones you want! We'll have stuff for Shadowrun, Pathfinder, Dungeons&Dragons, dice, and more!

More info, including a list of everything we'll have, is at http://www.freerpgday.com/

Siegfried 1 HC

by Alex Alice

The epic story of Siegfried comes to amazing life under the direction of Alex Alice, who manages to add a Disney-like flavor with the cartoony style of the Nibelung dwarves, and gorgeously lush art as Siegfried is prepared by the gods for his destiny to fight a massive dragon! Plus the book includes a huge section on the research behind the story and the preparation to turn it into an animated film. Amazing!

Spider-Men #1 (of 5)

by Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli

What's cooler than the Amazing Spider-Man? A team-up with the great new Ultimate Spider-Man! Peter Parker is pulled into the Ultimate Universe, for the first crossover ever between the mainstream Marvel Universe! Peter finds himself in a world where he was killed and Miles Morales is the new Spider-Man! A great start!

Bad Medicine #1

 
by Nunzio DeFillipis, Christina Weir and Christopher Mitten
 

An ongoing series of strange science fiction experiments, with the first case running over 2 issues. A body is found with an invisible head! The disgraced (and possibly crazy) scientist who first worked on creating invisibility is called in to work with the U.S. government, as the possibility of an invisible murderer grows!

Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre #1 (of 4)

by Darwyn Cooke and Amanda Conner
 
The second Before Watchmen series is also written by Cooke but art by the awesome Conner! Silk Spectre tries to raise her daughter to follow in her footsteps even as she is affected by her mother's choices while trying to survive high school and have a normal life - even though she is training to be a superhero too!

The Massive #1

by Brian Wood and Kristian Donaldson

After the Earth's ecology shifts terribly, drowning coasts and ravaging international travel, one last eco-warrior ship travels the sea, searching for their companions lost on the giant freighter The Massive, while dodging pirates and slowly running out of fuel. A compelling adventure set in a vibrantly dangerous vision of near scifi future of ecological collapse with great art.

Planetoid #1

by Ken Garing

A space pirate crashlands on a strange alien world where technological monsters rampage through the wreckage of a fallen civilization. Silas must use all of his resources to survive and find out why his ship crashed, and perhaps find a way to escape. Great gritty art and adventure!

Spider-Man: The Graphic Novels HC

by Susan Putney, Gerry Conway, Charless Vess, Stan Lee, Bernie Wrightson, Alex Saviuk and Ross Andru
 
Some of the best Spider-Man graphic novels of the 1980s and 1990s are finally collected into an oversized hardcover! An amazing adventure in Scotland by Charles Vess, a trippy voyage to a magical realm, the history of Peter Parker and Mary Jane before they met and after, and fighting Nazis with Silver Sable! A great selection.

X-Men #30

by Brian Wood and David Lopez
 
The X-Men add another great book to their roster as Brian Wood takes over the writing duties and Storm leads her team on a mission without reporting a lot of secret details to Cyclops! Lopez's art makes this another winner.
