Fblthp has a new hospitality job?

The Lost Adventures of Fblthp - entry 3

Fblthp has a new hospitality job?

Lisa Cooke had finished her training and rushed off to her work at the local Hotel, she had only arrived when she went to grab her ID from her bag when she found a stowaway in her bag! Fblthp was busted, here is a photo Lisa sent me to report the out-of-control plushie.

Now remember, I had thought Fblthp dead after I last saw him being carried away by a pelican, so to say I was surprised that he had gotten so incredibly lost and moreover harassing EPIC Ipswich's patrons, I did the only thing I could think. Like any homunculus who found himself without a job and indebted to someone or something (looking at you Azorious Senate), he was put to work.

It began menial, helped Lisa and her lovely boss set up, placing cutlery and decorating tables. The menial task ran dry as both individuals realised a homunculus probably couldn't carry trays or walk around the floor when it was busy.

He was then shown how to pour glasses of various liquids, not too dissimilar from the alchemists on Ravnica and how the Izzet guild treated their few homunculi. Fblthp was a natural but got overwhelmed and hid behind the counter.

Fed up with his antics they gave him one last shred of responsibility: learning the cash register and EFTPOS systems. This did not go according to plan as he somehow managed to set the price of everything to "FREE" and in the rare occurrence "complementary". Inundated with orders in the kitchen, the bar and the floor were all swarmed by a not-so-angry mob, all wanting to get their items without paying. Invoking the joke "If it doesn't scan then it's free" as they stormed to every possible place they could get their free food and drinks!

The last time Fblthp was seen that night, his tiny body was being pushed away by the crowd as he struggled against the people who were carrying him out of the hotel against his will. Once again, Fblthp was lost and had inadvertently left another place in more turmoil than he had found it.

Authors Note

Once again a huge and massive thank you to Lisa and an extended thank you to her boss for allowing Lisa to take Fblthp with her on shift!

If you would like to take Fblthp with you on an adventure please contact EPIC Ipswich through our social media, website or by calling the store.

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.

Return of the blog

THE BLOG IS BACK IN FULL SWING! I REPEAT, THE BLOG IS BACK IN FULL SWING. For those that read the EPI-log every day, you may have noticed that I had been very very inactive posting no blog posts last week and only posting three the week before instead of the daily blogs we are all used to. I deeply apologise. This author had a lot on his plate… I am very traumatised by the whole ordeal. Last Saturday was the first time I got to see EPIC Ipswich, moreover the outside world for 2 whole weeks. No, it was not covid, I may have wished it was. On Saturday the 9th of December, I was at the store very late on account of the Double Masters Mega-Launch Party ( read about that here ), it was after midnight and the doors to EPIC Ipswich were shut. I hadn’t eaten much that day and so I purchased myself a chip packet to quell the rumbles – my stomach’s way of vocalising its frustration. The sound of the packets crinkles was a cacophony of music to my ears, and the smell of grease and the texture o

One Piece games now starting up before it's even released!

If you haven't read my previous article on the release of the One Piece Card Game, you can either read it now or I can cut to the nitty gritty of it - IT IS POPULAR! So much so that every local store's super-prerelease was booked out! The original starting decks? All four of them are selling for $700 and they were just $30 each! One Piece has taken the world by storm ahead of the new live-action show/movie that's being made. To my knowledge only one other local game store is supporting One Piece Card Game ahead of the official release in December, that being said, you can now consider this our official declaration that we are doing the same. EPIC Ipswich is proud to announce we will be supporting unsanctioned One Piece game nights with our enthusiastic locals. EPIC is not selling any products, however, if you want to come in and play, our local group of players really wish to see it take off here and are happy to lend you one of their decks or alternatively EPIC will let
