New Events and RPG Demos! Free RPG day was a huge success. Every session was full and I hope we have created a whole new thirst for role playing games! So with Free RPG day done we're moving on to more events coming up over the next few weeks. On June 27th is Arkham day, we'll have at least two tables set up for experienced and new players to come and play and learn Arkham. Wed 24th will see the first store Warmachine league kick off, a 350 league aimed at new players, giving them a chance to learn the basics but also to win a Privateer Press rules book. Early in July we'll also be holding a Vampire the Eternal Struggle sealed deck tournament. Training sessions and practice matches will be organized leading up to that event. And after the success of Free RPG day we'll also be organizing more RPG demo sessions that everyone can experience new games, systems and settings. If you'd like to run a demo session or suggest an event then please don't hesitate to let us know!

The store is now pretty much set up, everything that we need to open is in place and opening day will be May 1.
April 29, 2009
The time has arrived. The store will open for gaming and business at 10AM May 1st. We look forwards to seeing you all there over our opening weekend of gaming and fun!
April 23, 2009
The stock has arrived in Bangkok, the store is just about ready to open, so we're looking good for the May 1 opening date. We also have a new order in which should arrive the first week of may with Small Wonder, Battle Maps and Dice!
March 23, 2009
Hopefully everything shipped out this weekend. Not had an update yet. Signing the store rental agreement tomorrow. Full three year contract, so we're committed for the long run! The very important Thai language version of the site is being worked on too.
March 16, 2009
Everything should ship by next weekend, and arrive in around 25 days. Giving us about 30 days to find a location and get it ready for the goods to arrive. Meanwhile shipping and importing continues to become more of a mystery every day. Heck I'm sure someone could make a challanging game out of the import process. So location search is top priority now!
March 13, 2009
Ran into a slight hitch today as the import firm suddenly decided to remember that they have to check with a government department for the import of toys. Pretty laughable considering the type of junk that is sold all around the coutry that is of such low quality and defective nature. Anyway considering Kinokunya already import board games and other firms have before hand we're not expecting any major issues.
March 10, 2009
Well what's new, we're not open yet, we don't have a store location yet. But we do have a large chunk of stock ordered and being assembled in LA ready to ship to Thailand. So we hope to be open in 6-8 weeks. Presently we have a range of board games, table top games, card games, role playing games and hobby products on route with the core of our stock being from FFG, Paizo, SJG, Privateer and White Wolf.
