A sad day for the Warhammer community.

John Blanche, the visionary artist whose work helped define the look and atmosphere of Warhammer 40,000, has passed away. His distinctive style shaped the grimdark universe that inspired generations of hobbyists, painters, writers, and gamers around the world.

His influence on the hobby can't be overstated. Rest in peace, John Blanche.

John Blanche, the legendary illustrator whose art helped define the grimdark Warhammer 40,000 setting, has died.

New Dungeons & Dragons groups forming on Thursdays

Two new weekly tabletop roleplaying groups are starting at the store, built around story-driven adventure, character development, and collaborative storytelling in a shared homebrew world. If you have ever wanted a long-term campaign where your choices matter and your character actually shapes the world, this is designed for that kind of play.

New players are welcome, and no prior experience is required. If you are joining for the first time, just ask what level character to bring before your first session.

Session times (Thursdays):
11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
3:00 PM to 6:00 PM

Each time slot is its own independent table. Both groups take place in the same shared world, running parallel storylines that will eventually converge into a shared endgame. Players who participate in both sessions will be playing two different campaigns within the same setting.

Campaign style:
This world blends exploration-focused “emerald maze” adventure design with anime-inspired themes. Expect a mix of magical girl aesthetics, bard-like mechanics, and a balance of lighter and darker narrative tones. The focus is on character-driven storytelling, memorable roleplay moments, and long-term narrative progression rather than one-off encounters.

If you are looking for a campaign where your character has time to grow, change, and matter in the world, this is built for that.

Table structure and cost:
There is a $5 table fee per player. The $5 fee includes $3 in store credit usable on all products (not valid for events). Dungeon Masters and Game Masters receive $2 in store credit per registered player, also usable on all products (not valid for events).

How to join:
If you want to join a session, message the store or join the Discord to reserve a seat. Space is limited per table, and we recommend reaching out before your first session so we can confirm availability and help you get set up.
