One Piece – OP-15 Adventure on Kami’s Island – Gnome West

One Piece Op-15 Adventure on Kami’s Island is here! Our Log Pose has found us at the 15th set of One Piece just in time for a prerelease!

Wednesday, April 2nd
6pm
$30+tax

One Piece Sealed events consist of 6 booster packs given to each player during a deck-building phase of the tournament. Each player brings 10 don, and may either utilize the leader card given as part of entry, a leader card pulled from one of the packs, or a leader they bring from home.
Unlike standard play, you can ignore the normal deck building colour restrictions based on your leader and can include cards of any colour in your deck, and there are additional special rules for deckbuilding.

After opening 6 packs, players build a 40-card deck, and a 10 DON!! card deck. There are no banned or restricted cards, and players can include as many copies of cards with the same card number as they like. (There is no 4-card limit and 5 or more copies of a card with the same card number can be included in decks.) Any cards left over from deck construction are treated as sideboard cards.

After everyone’s decks are built, we’ll play 3 rounds, where each round you win, win’s you a pack of OP-15 as a prize!

Participation promos go out to every player during the first round, and the winner gets a winner stamped Boa Hancock!

There is an errata to one card from this set: Arlong OP15-023:
The card reads: “Give up to 1 rested DON!! card from its owner’s cost area to its owner’s Leader or 1 of their Characters.”
The errata has the card actually be: “Give up to 1 DON!! card from its owner’s cost area to its owner’s Leader or 1 of their Characters.”

D&D Crochet Book Release!

All of our creative gnomes on staff are super excited to talk about the new Dungeons & Dragons Crochet book coming out!

The book is going to be filled with your favorite Dnd elements! Twenty patterns of all your favorite in-game content fill out this book. There will be patterns like a Bag Of Holding, a dangerously cute Owlbear Cub plushie, and even a Mind Flayer!

The book includes high-quality images and clear instructions to help create your project. When opened, the book will lay completely flat, so you can easily use both hands to work on the project with no issues.

Crochet patterns by: Sharon Posey, Alysia Sly, Rebecca Stone, and Lydia Viatoris

“Crochet and D&D go hand-in-hand in the most exciting way. Much like a wizard, a fiber artist can work magic. A crocheter’s collection of patterns is like a spellbook. . . . Stacy King and four fiber artists from across the U.S. combine their efforts in this magical tome, bringing 20 unique crochet patterns specifically designed for Dungeons & Dragons lovers.”—Comic Book Resources

___________________________________________________________

Our stores will be hosting Crochet Social Hours!

We are inviting crafters to come in, crochet, chat and hang out with fellow D&D crafters. Anyone that pre-orders the book receives a School of Magic Granny Squares PDF, featuring 8 school-symbol designs that are beginner-friendly and endlessly customizable!

We’ll be taking pictures of people’s projects (if they’d like!) and posting them on social media. These photos have a chance to be featured on official D&D socials and newsletters! Social Hour is open to all skill levels, whether it’s your very first time crocheting or your 100th project. Crochet, learn, or simply discuss which school of magic you belong to with other fans!

Check out our event calendar to find what a store near you is hosting it!
