Friday Night Magic at EPIC - feat. Fblthp the lost

Friday Night Magic has been a long-established part of the Magic the Gathering community. Many a format is celebrated on this night, here at EPIC Ipswich we do things slightly differently. Because you know – why be normal?

EPIC Ipswich’s Friday Night Magic is a casual commander night. No prizes as all players are welcome, CEDH Players, New Players and Casual Players. Instead we have a Friday Night Magic draw at 8pm, where the prizes are based on the number of sales of selected magic products made throughout the night. In short – the more stuff you buy, the more tickets you get entered into the draw. Prizes are drawn at 8 PM.

Here is the infographic below:

So why run Friday Night Magic this way?

Buy having Friday Night Magic as Player List only and removing the “This night is for competitive players only” stigma that follows a lot of stores-organised magic play. In addition, it lets players play to a level they’re comfortable with and lets players purchase their magic supplies and win prizes for it!

Find Fblthp?

The find Fblthp contest is a weekly contest held in EPIC that’s drawn live on Facebook with our Friday Night Magic. Our first draw was done last week and has taken the store by storm. He has since been rehidden, to win this contest find Fblthp (the plushie) in store and snap a picture of him on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag #FoundFblthp

For more information see our previous blog post on the Find Fblthp Contest

Your Friend and Ally,

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.

THEY ARE BACK!

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THEY ARE BACK! Ladies, gentlemen, guys, gals and my non-binary pals. The benevolent and almighty owners of EPIC Ipswich have returned. For those who hadn't visited the premises since last Wednesday, Trevor the Founding Father and Trish the Queen of Crafts, left EPIC Ipswich in the very reliable and most capable hands of their staff whilst they were out plotting... erm... I mean planning changes to the business in a conference down in Sydney. After the store nearly burnt down from a fryer being left on over the weekend and its panicked cover-up. The Benevolent and most gracious power couple of the store touched down Monday morning to say and I quote "Yup. That's a mighty fine store we have. Were the garbage bins emptied? Did someone eat my truffle? Did someone forget to feed the work experience people we have locked away in our office?". After finding all the staff members answers acceptable, they finally let me out of the cardboard box they'

Free RPG Day is coming!

Unless you’ve been living in a different reality, you likely won’t have heard of Free RPG Day. The organisation Gaming Days only formed in 2019 to provide Game Stores (like your friendly neighbourhood E.P.I.C. Ipswich ), with gaming opportunities, as it stands they only have one yearly global event, the aforementioned Free RPG Day. 2019 was a great year to launch, but unless you lived in a reality where Local Game Stores (LGS) wasn’t affected by Covid-19 or lockdowns, this event likely never reached your ears unless you were part of the 1st Free RPG Day. What is Free RPG Day? Free RPG Day is pretty much what it says on the label, its a Day when stores are given content and Role Play Games from some of the largest gaming publishers for FREE to run for their stores. What Games have been announced this year? Starfinder: Skitter Warp, Pathfinder: A Fistful of Flowers Skitter Warp is a short #Starfinder adventure with 4 pre-generated characters to let you quickly lend some helping ha
