Another Brilliant Birthday!!!



For those who have been with EPIC a long while you’ll recall ‘Trish’s Crafty Studio‘ was our sister business when EPIC originally stood for Events and Parties Indoor Center (Damn the owners really wanted that acronym). When EPIC rebranded so too did Trish’s transform into ‘The Crafty Studio‘ which is now our workspace that has a lot of the supplies in-store to purchase but is mostly a working space. 

It is not uncommon to my ears that I have to explain that EPIC doesn’t have an Owner but rather Owners. Most our Patrons know Trevmeister owns it, yet I receive questions on who the other is – that other owner being Trevor’s own significant other and the wonderful creative bookkeeper behind both EPIC and The Crafty Studio – Trish!

Today Trish turned the wonderful age of 29 for the somethingeth year in a row! How? Beats me, all I know is that she stopped counting and everyone else did too. 

Trish, or as all the sacred paperwork in EPIC has her referred to, ‘The Almighty Trish’ has been the other secure and loving part of this community since its ideation. She has always been involved with the community, nurturing her own group of crafters on top of looking after all the people behind the scenes in the shadowy and very friendly Team Cupcake that organises a lot of the bingo at EPIC.

Wonder why all the hot chocolate is gone? The Almighty Trish took it!

Wondering why your D&D group levelled up? The Almighty Trish said “DING LEVEL UP!”

Ever caught yourself pondering why you have no creativity and will to live? In all honesty that has nothing to do with The Almighty Trish! Shame on you for thinking she has a supernatural ability to harvest your creative spark and use it in her own artworks. I can promise you this though. For the low low cost of talking to her, The Almighty Trish will nurture that creative spark and help you out. 

Trish, if you’re reading this blog post, thank you for being the mother in this amazing community you helped create. Every community you seem to join turns into a new garden of Eden. 

For everyone else reading this, purchase hot chocolates from EPIC today before Trish consumes it all! No seriously, do not underestimate The Almighty Trish, in fact, buy her one too, help her celebrate her birthday.

A very Happy Birthday to EPICs Mother and Owner Trish. It’s an honour to truly know her.

Your Friend and Ally,

Lachy

The website got a facelift

 It has been busy busy busy behind the scenes here at EPIC Ipswich over the past fortnight. Prep work for the Benevolent Owners shared vacation, juggling the change in the store's layout, new til systems, new television menus, and becoming increasingly popular. This isn't even factoring in the change in menu, or the upcoming events planned. We have been busy and you can trust I'll give you, loyal readers, a store update once we get time. In the meantime, our website has been updated by yours truly. When I first did the original website home page I had the essential elements, with a lot of my working hours, I've been making the website more streamlined and more friendly to our bandwidth. Please note, that the game pages are still to be updated to provide you more information about what we do here. In the mean time, anticipate big things on the horizon. I saw some streaming gear in the offices.... I suspect it will have something to do with videos on the social media end....

Star Wars Legion joins the Ipswich Tabletop Association

  Thursday nights at EPIC Ipswich are arguably the busiest in terms of customer and distribution. We house Yu-Gi-Oh!, Star Wars Legion, Magic the Gathering Modern, some private D&D Games and the Ipswich Tabletop Association (ITA). The later mostly specialising in Warhammer (40k, Age of Sigma and now Horus Heresy). After sharing space for ages, the ITA and Legion community have decided for mutual benefit in merging.  The ITA is a community and social group of Tabletop Wargamers that love Warhammer to the point they create their own terrain and purchase maps for their members to use. With the joining of Star Wars Legion, both groups can now share resources to the benefit of both communities.  On the surface to the general public, this shouldn't change much. Behind the scenes it makes managing the community of war gamers more streamlined for EPIC, reducing the amount of backwards and forwards to communicate to the separate communities. If you're interested in learning to...
