Magic the Gathering: Prerelease Weekend – The Brothers War

Event Information

In-store prelease events are sealed deck, where each player builds a 40+ card deck from the cards in the Prerelease Pack (plus any basic land cards that they require). Each prerelease kit also includes a brief ‘How To’ guide for anyone not already familiar with the format. Players are then paired up for 3+ rounds of head-to-head play.

Prerelease events are designed to be fairly casual and players are free to modify their deck throughout the event (between games) but only with the cards contained in their own packs. No trading until afterwards.

Each pack costs £25. Each event lasts for 3-4 hours (deck building + 3 rounds of up to 50 minutes each).

The Brothers’ War Prerelease Pack:

  • 6 The Brothers’ War Draft Boosters
  • 1 foil, year-stamped Rare or Mythic Rare
  • 1 deck box
  • 1 spindown d20 die

Each The Brothers’ War Draft Booster contains 15 cards, with a combination of 1 card of rarity Rare or higher and 3 Uncommon, 10 Common, and 1 Land cards. 1 Legendary Creature in every booster. Traditional Foil of any rarity replaces a Common in 33% of boosters.

Transport

Cars: The Triangle Car Park is at the end of Clifton Road. In addition, there are 30-minute parking bays just up the road near Newtown Stores convenience shop, as well as 2-hour bays in each of the side roads off of Clifton Road (Clifton Street, Chute Street, Sandford Walk, etc). If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging points in Belmont Road (along the front of Belmont Park), on the left from the end of Clifton Road.

Bus: The nearest bus stop is Lower Summerlands at the junction of Clifton Road and Heavitree Road. The new Exeter Bus Station is only a few yards further away, by St. Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre and the VUE Cinema (walk down past the VUE cinema, across Western Way, between Jury’s Inn and Belmont Chapel to the Triangle Car Park and then turn left past The Clifton Inn).


FOOD & DRINK

Clifton Road Games do not provide or sell food and/or drinks on the premises, but customers are welcome to bring their own.

We generally advise that gamers take specific breaks for food and drinks, rather than snacking throughout. It’s safer for the games components.


Customer toilets are available. Note that these are wheelchair accessible but not fully equipped as disabled facilities (ie. they do have extra space for a wheelchair and low hand basins; they don’t have hand rails or emergency assistance alarms).

Fallout Wasteland Warfare

Demo / Game Day

UPDATE: The official Modiphius Entertainent Demo Team have (yet again) pushed their date back (to January ’23… or later), but we will go ahead with a Fallout Game Day on 29th October ’22. They are still promising to show up with lots of ‘first look’ eclusives but not until after the New Year.

Saturday, 29th October 2022

Bring your own minis or turn up and join in. Learn-to-Play, Expert, or any level in between.

In the absence of an Official (Modiphius) Demo Table, we’ve pushed the start back to 2pm, to avoid clashing with the Pokemon event in the morning.

  • 1 40-card ready-to-play deck

Transport

Cars: The Triangle Car Park is at the end of Clifton Road. In addition, there are 30-minute parking bays just up the road near Newtown Stores convenience shop, as well as 2-hour bays in each of the side roads off of Clifton Road (Clifton Street, Chute Street, Sandford Walk, etc). If you have an electric vehicle, there are charging points in Belmont Road (along the front of Belmont Park), on the left from the end of Clifton Road.

Bus: The nearest bus stop is Lower Summerlands at the junction of Clifton Road and Heavitree Road. The new Exeter Bus Station is only a few yards further away, by St. Sidwell’s Point Leisure Centre and the VUE Cinema (walk down past the VUE cinema, across Western Way, between Jury’s Inn and Belmont Chapel to the Triangle Car Park and then turn left past The Clifton Inn).


FOOD & DRINK

Clifton Road Games do not provide or sell food and/or drinks on the premises, but customers are welcome to bring their own.

Newtown Stores is just up the road (on your left as you exit the shop), The Clifton Inn has an in-house bakery, as well as their regular pub menu, and is also just up the road (on the right as you exit). Exe Coffee Roasters are across the Triangle Car Park (opposite the Pyramids Leisure Centre).

We generally advise that gamers take specific breaks for food and drinks, rather than snacking throughout. It’s safer for the games components.

Customer toilets are provided in-store. Note that these are wheelchair accessible but not fully equiped as disabled facilities (ie. they don’t have all of the hand rails, etc).

Event Information

In-store prelease events are sealed deck, where each player builds a 40+ card deck from the cards in the Prerelease Pack (plus any basic land cards that they require). Each prerelease kit also includes a brief ‘How To’ guide for anyone not already familiar with the format. Players are then paired up for 3+ rounds of head-to-head play.

Prerelease events are designed to be fairly casual and players are free to modify their deck throughout the event (between games) but only with the cards contained in their own packs. No trading until afterwards.

Each pack costs £25. Each event lasts for 3-4 hours (deck building + 3 rounds of up to 50 minutes each).

Dominaria United Prerelease Pack:

  • 6 Dominaria United Draft Boosters
  • 1 foil, year-stamped Rare or Mythic Rare
  • 1 deck box
  • 1 spindown d20 die

Each Dominaria United Draft Booster contains 15 cards, with a combination of 1 card of rarity Rare or higher and 3 Uncommon, 10 Common, and 1 Land cards. 1 Legendary Creature in every booster. Traditional Foil of any rarity replaces a Common in 33% of boosters.

FREE RPG DAY

Worldwide Free to Play Roleplaying Games Day is an opportunity for gamers to discover their local games store, meet up, and play some new (or established) roleplaying games. Try out new RPGs … for free.

No experience necessary. FREE RPG DAY is an opportunity to try something different.

Saturday, 20th August 2022

Note: Free RPG Day in the US, was held on 25th June 2022
Free RPG Day in the UK, was held on 23rd July 2022

Free RPG Day II @ Clifton Road Games, Exeter (2022-08-20)
Free RPG Day II

Following a more than two year break resulting from the global COVID pandemic (with all of its regulations and day-to-day precautions), people are slowly returning to in-store play.

The summer weather, so far, has been freakishly nice (for the UK), so people have generally steered more towards outdoor activities; regular in-store roleplaying is (for us) a realtively new programme; and we have lots of useful things left after the official Free RPG Day… so we decided to hold another one!

On the Day …

Sessions are loosely organised as: 11-2pm and 3-6pm.

Regular opening hours for the shop are 10am-6pm, and later for games evenings. If there is enough interest we’ll keep going into the evening and it’s possible for games to start as and when players are available.

Local Guest GMs …
  • ALIENS (Free League Publishing) … 11am start
  • STAR TREK ADVENTURES (Modiphius Entertainment) … 3pm start

There are also GMs on-hand throughout for CONAN: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of (Modiphius Entertainment) and Dungeons & Dragons (Wizards of the Coast).

Visiting GMs are asked to plan for 1-2 players fewer than they can comfortably wrangle – so that there are always spaces in the room for players to squeeze in, without overloading a game – and to have some draft character templates prepared (or mostly prepared) to save time.

Included in the Free RPG Day store kit …

Various quick-play and adventure scenarios are available to play/run on the day, including:

  • A Familiar Problem
  • Cyberpunk Red
  • Dungeons & Dragons (5th Edition)
  • Homeworld Revelations
  • Pathfinder
  • ROOT – The Roleplaying Game
  • Starfinder
Always on-hand RPG Starter Sets
  • Dungeons & Dragons (5th Edition)
  • Call of Cthulhu (7th Edition)
  • Paranoia (Core Edition)
