The Lord of the Rings CCG and Casual play Magic all on one night at the shop. Casual Magic also has the added rewards of the Gateway tournament. Gateway gives you stamps on a card for every game you play, whether you win or lose, and once your card is full you get free Magic cards! Very simple, lots of fun. Bring along a deck of your own with cards from Ravnica block onwards. Very good for new players.

Vulture Bluff Population 2007: Wanted Sheriff and Posse to bring law to the lawless. Good rates of pay! Apply within... Join us as we delve deep into the wild west, in Kenzer and Companies new system Aces & Eights. Do you have what it takes to survive against rampaging 'Injuns', claim jumpers and outlaws! Black Lion is proud to present a new roleplaying night featuring our very own Marc Farrimond as GM. Campaigns will run for a few weeks before changing to another system. We're starting off with Aces and Eights as you can see but Marc is willing and able to run many other games. You can turn up on the night to play or sign up with us in the shop beforehand. And you can play throughout the entire campaign or just drop in for the odd week if you'd prefer. If we get too many people we'll have another game run alongside, possibly Pirates of the Spanish Main. Don't worry you don't need to know the system or own the books, just bring yourself and some dice!

Alongside the normal format we'll be offering a Black Lion Store Champs this Monday from 7pm. The format is sealed with each player making a deck from five 10th ed boosters for only £10. The tournament will start at 6:30 promptly, latecomers will have less time to make a deck or might even not be allowed to play so be here early. If you look in the Magic forums you'll see a fuller explanation of the points structure which sees an overall Black Lion Champion win entrance to a final to be held in Birmingham in October along with other people who've qualified. We're only running 3 Store Champs in total, of which this is the second so if you'd like to earn enough points to qualify make sure you turn up! This tournament also counts as part of the Gateway league. Gateway gives you stamps on a card for every game you play, whether you win or lose, and once your card is full you get free Magic cards! Very simple, lots of fun. Lord of the Rings should be running seperately as well.

There is no official Night Fusion release tournament but we're going to run our own instead on Sunday 16th September. It'll be a straight Swiss tournament with no top four which we can run with either two or three boosters from the new set per player depending on what people prefer so the cost will be either £20 or £30. Sign up will start from 11am and play from 12 noon The tournament will be held in the shop and so we're limiting it to 12 players. We'll take names for sign up to guarantee you a place. Prizes will be confirmed closer to the time.
