This Weekend At Pandemonium: Geek Singles Night & The Dark Knight!
A last minute reminder....
Geek Singles Night at 7pm on Saturday, July 19th!
If you're still looking for that special someone -- specifically, a special someone who appreciates the value of a natural 20 or has the complete run of Babylon 5 on DVD -- you're in luck! On Saturday, July 19th, SweetonGeeks will be bringing its Geek Singles Night to Pandemonium Books for an evening of fun, low-intensity mingling targeted squarely at people of the nerdish persuasion. The event is sponsored by the SweetonGeek.com, MENSA, Bawls G33kb33r and Geek Monthly Magazine, and will have food, snacks and raffle prizes!
The Dark Knight at 7:15pm on Sunday July 20th at the AMC Harvard Square 5!
I know, I know...most of you reading this have already seen the movie, but if you want to see it again, you can for only $8! Just swing by the store and buy the passes!
Hope to see you there! | 1:37 pm

D&D minis Standard tournaments 7/16 and 8/20 Try out your Against the Giants minis after they are released this weekend! Once per month, on the third Wednesday of the month, we sanction Standard D&D Minis Tournaments at Pandemonium Books in Cambridge, MA. The next tournaments will be on 7/16, and then on 8/20. On other Wednesdays, we'll continue to offer "casual" minis games and I am very willing to teach interested players how to play the game on those nights. - I'd like tournament participants to arrive by 7:15 so that I can register you and start the tournament by 7:30. - Tournament players should be at least 12 years old. - Each participant can optionally pay a $5 entry fee to enter a prize pool based on the standings at the end of the tournament (every paying participant will receive several minis drafted from sealed boosters!) - Regardless of payment and placement, each tournament player will also receive a promotional mini. So if you are fairly comfortable with the new rules and want to try out your best warband in a competitive, timed tournament, you'll have your chance once a month! As always, feel free to email me with any questions or stop by our table on Wednesdays at Pandemonium starting at 6:30pm. Peter
What: D&D Miniatures Constructed Tournament
When: Wednesdays 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM
Where: Pandemonium Books & Games, 4 Pleasant St., Cambridge MA 02139
Entry Fee: $5.00
Prizes: D&D minis drafted from booster packs selected by the highest-
placing players. Special prizes also given to each participant.
Contact: (617) 547-3721
If you have only been using your D&D minis for role-playing, you've been missing out on an exciting experience. The D&D Miniatures game pits warbands of iconic D&D monsters and heroes against each other on the field of battle. Swing by at 6:30 to learn how to play with a free and informal 50-point pick-up game, then stick around for a three-round, 200-point Swiss system tournament open to newcomers and veterans alike. The tournament is DCI-santioned, and promises to offer intense competition for all. Check it out! | | Sunday, July 6th, 2008 | 10:47 am

Possible lost item back in February
Hi everyone, I was in one of your Board Game Night events back in February, and I think I lost a black leather-type portfolio folder in the events area. That folder, I believe at last check, contained mail addressed to me as and also at least one personal document of mine. This folder should also has gold-colored lettering commemorating a convention which took place back in 2000, and has quite a bit of pockets in it.
The possible nights that I may have lost this folder could be February 13, 20 (most likely) or 27, if I indeed last had it there.
If you have seen this folder or possibly have it which fits the description, please let me know. Thanks! | | Friday, July 4th, 2008 | 2:16 pm

D&D 4th Edition Demo Saturday June 21
Hi everyone!
Tyler has bribed me into running a D&D 4th Edition game at Pandemonium this coming Saturday (the 21st) from 1:00 to 4:00 (or there abouts) in the afternoon.
There's room for 5 or 6 players, in addition to the usual pre-gens, I'll bring the Tiefling Warlord from the D&D Insider site and may put together a few additional pre-gen characters to increase the variety.
Now I'm sure that I can't match Tyler's level of skill (a TPK the first time out!) but I'll do my best make you earn your reward.
ETA: You can send me a message via LJ or email me at caulay at livejournal dot com (use the normal conversions to turn into a "real" email address). | 7:48 pm
