Announcing ‘Battleground: The Gathering Place’ 1/300
Monday, September 29th, 2014
We’ve decided to do a little project for fun. It’s been something we’ve been joking around about at the store for a while now, and every time it gets mentioned things usually get hilarious pretty fast.
The idea is to build a set of Magic: The Gathering cards themed after Battleground Games & Hobbies and the people who make up the community. We want the cards to be playable (for the most part) and also be a good representation of the person or thing we’re trying to emulate, honor, and sometimes poke fun at.
We’ve tentatively decided to call this project “Battleground: The Gathering Place,” and we’ve put together a team to formulate ideas. The goal is to try to release a new card on the Battleground blog each week. Maybe when we get to 300 cards we’ll actually print the set and see how it plays in a cube draft or something to that effect.
In the meantime, we will start off with a very sensible choice. I present to you, Battleground: The Gathering Place’s first official card of the series:
Chase, the Mind Sculptor!
Is it broken? Sure, a little bit. But so isn’t Chase.
What do you think of our first card?
How can you get involved? We’re glad you asked! Follow the project on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram; and/or contact us here to suggest cards. And of course, sound off in the comments below and let us know what you think.

Popular Fat Pack Challenge Event – TODAY!
Friday, September 26th, 2014
TODAY at both Battleground Games & Hobbies – Abington and Plainville, MA:
Khans of Tarkir (KTK) will be released on Friday, September 26th and we will have a full line-up of events for you to crack packs, build decks and play Magic at both of our stores! The weekend will kick off with our flagship Sealed Deck style event.
The Battleground Fat Pack Challenge is taking place on Friday night, 9/26/14, at both locations (run as our FNM). These are the ultimate sealed events – where you open packs, build a deck and play with just the contents of an Khans of Tarkir Fat Pack!
The concept of a Fat Pack Challenge is pretty simple. Each player will receive an Khans of Tarkir Fat Pack with which to build a 40 card deck. Players may use ONLY what is inside of their Fat Pack to construct their decks. No additional land will be provided!
This time around we’ll be awarding the prizes a little differently than before. During the deck building period, each player that enrolled in the event will receive 1 raffle ticket. An additional raffle ticket will be awarded to players for every match they win. Raffle tickets will be pooled throughout the event.
Battleground will do several drawings each round. If your ticket is drawn you’ll win 3 booster packs of Khans! We know you’ll want to open as much of this set as possible, so we’ve got you covered.
The booster pack raffle will be accompanied by other random giveaways that might include playmats, pins, and tshirts.
We’ve got two of these events for you, one at each Battleground location:
Abington and Plainville:
Format: **Fat Pack Sealed**
Date: September 26th, 2014 a FRIDAY
Time: 7:00pm
Entrance Fee: $40.00
| Abington: 1423 Bedford Street Abington MA 02351 781.261.9669 | Plainville: 25 Taunton Street Plainville MA 02762 508.316.1195 |

Wizards of the Coast Announces Delay to ‘D&D: Dungeon Master’s Guide’
Monday, September 22nd, 2014
After making the dates on most of its long-planned rollout of the new edition of Dungeons and Dragons, Wizards of the Coast has announced that the last of the first range of releases will be delayed, as first reported by ICv2.com. Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Master’s Guide, originally planned for November release, will now ship in December.
The delay is blamed on “an entire additional cycle of design and editing to ensure that the books were as close to perfect as humanly possible” introduced with this new edition of the game. While this effort is touted as a boon for the quality of the Player’s Handbook and Monster Manual, which are releasing on schedule, it has pushed the production schedule back on the Dungeon Master’s Guide. For stores participating in WotC’s early release program, the book with have an on sale date of November 28th, with general release following on December 9th.
