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

I hope you found this blog post very insightful, ask your questions below, call us in-store or message us on social media if you have more questions. Hope to see you next Friday for our FNM Commander!

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....

Team Cupcake and Why they run Bingo

Bingo has been a staple at EPIC Ipswich since it first opened, originally running 6 Games a week (3 in the morning and 3 at night during weeknights), now it sees over 100 people weekly for our Friday night Bingo and our end-of-month Speed Bingo, a late session after the normal Bingo held on the last Friday of each month. To the surprise of many, EPIC Ipswich merely provides the staff and venue for BINGO, it's actually organised by Shell's Team Cupcake, a not-for-profit organisation. But what is Team Cupcake and what is their mission? How did Team Cupcake come about? Team Cupcake Inc started out with a couple of friends and some family raising money to pay for a beloved friend's secondary cancer treatment. Along their journey, we discovered that there were many other people in Ipswich that need a little helping hand and sometimes just needed to know that someone was thinking of them and cared. And so Team Cupcake became incorporated so that they could help to ease the burden...

The Adventures of a D&D Penguin - a Kids D&D Game

Say what you like about the mind of a child, there is no denying the imagination we had as kids vastly changes as we all come into adulthood. For me it’s something I feel is a loss – I could spend hours in the backyard of my childhood home, swinging sticks like they were swords, lightsabers, magic wands or a wizard’s staff. Nowadays I spend time imagining social interactions in my head, playing out a scenario in my head on drives between places or as I make my morning coffee, comparably less cool than being a freaking wizard! The fact I still can recall a lot of those games of make-believe around my junior school playground speaks volumes about the impact imagination has on a developing brain. This is one of the reasons I am constantly dumbfounded when I DM (Dungeon Master) a game of Dungeons and Dragons for kids and they do something truly amazing that ruminates in my mind and happily lives there rent-free weeks after it’s. This, dear reader, is the story of how my Dungeon...
