June 2008 Newsletter

Hi All,

June 2008 is shaping up to be a busy month.  We're pretty excited about the new 4th Edition of D&D releasing this month (June 6th).  We have a couple of D&D/RPG events scheduled for the month (see Special Events listed below) - if you're interested in getting a group together, Worldwide D&D game day will be a great way to meet some new players.

Our new forums are starting to see some traffic - if you're interested in setting up a game at one of our stores, or looking for trades the forums can be a great way to communicate with your friends.  Check it out if you haven't already.

If you're interested in Warmachine, we may be starting up a new specific newsletter just for Warmachine, related products, and events.  We've also created a Warmachine mailing list, so that players can contact one another - if you'd like to be on the mailing list (and are not already) and/or would like to receive the Warmachine specific newsletter, send us an e-mail at info@tcgaa.ca, and we'll add you to the list.
