Episode 13 - Magic Competition - 1-22-2014

This is where we pick up the story of Gamers Link Chicago, but it does occur to me that some of my readers might not actually know what Magic: the Gathering is.  It is kind of hard to describe Magic in a simple way, because it is basically a way of life for a lot of people.  It is very similar to Poker, especially when it comes to the professional circuits, but it definitely has a highly-stylized fantasy setting that spans over twenty years.  Yup, the game has been around for 20 years, longer than a lot of the people who come to my store.

Episode 12 - Lords of Warhammer - 1-11-2014

As promised, we are going to discuss our next big selling game for Gamers Link Chicago: the Games Workshop games - Warhammer Fantasy Battle, and Warhammer 40K.  As I mentioned in a previous episode, Eddie and I met at a Games Workshop store, so we are both coming from a point of being very strong with this game / hobby.  My specialty / interest lies mostly with WFB, while Ed is a pretty staunch 40K player.

Episode 11 - The Magic Man - 1-11-2014

The previous episodes were about the opening of the store, and the trials / tribulations therein.  They also dabbled in the back stories of the Gamers Link Adventure, but it occurs to me that you might not know who I am.  Let's just say this is an 'about the author', with an intent to get everyone up to speed.
