MTG Commander Wednesday
2019-12-11 18:00 - 23:59, 2019-12-04 18:00 - 23:59, 2019-11-27 18:00 - 23:00, 2019-11-20 18:00 - 23:00
Come out and join our growing Magic the Gathering community on Wednesday evenings! This is casual so come in anytime between the hours it’s running.
Commander is an exciting, unique way to play Magic that is all about awesome legendary creatures, big plays, and battling your friends in epic multiplayer games! In Commander, each player chooses a legendary creature as the commander of their deck. They then play with a 99-card deck that contains only cards of their commander’s colors. Also, other than basic lands, each deck can only use one copy of any card. During the game, you can cast your commander multiple times, meaning your favorite Legendary Creature can come back again and again to lead the charge as you battle for victory!
These Commander decks introduce an ability called eminence that lets your commander lead from the command zone, even before they have entered the battlefield. The eminence ability appears on characters from all parts of Magic lore, allowing you to call on the power and skill of some of the best leaders in the Multiverse.
The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity.

Wire and Wine - Basic Wire Weaving
2019-12-08 14:00 - 17:00 | The Forge Tavern, 1375 Bethel Rd, Columbus, OH, 43220, United States
Wire Weaving – Intermediate
$35.00 Fee includes all materials and instruction to make a lovely wire wrapped pendant. Tools provided along with one complimentary glass of wine.
Join Diane Alexandra of Alexandra’s Adornments and learn a basic wire weave.
The skill level is marked as intermediate. If you’ve taken any one of my classes in the past, you will have the skill needed for this one. If you have not worked with jewelry or wire before this one may be a little more challenging but not impossible.
In this class we will wire wrap one pendant, learning a few different weave techniques. After taking this class, you will have the concept down for wrapping other center drilled stones or beads.
Beads pictured are to show the concept and may not be the exact ones used for this class.
This class is a little more complex, so I only have 10 spaces available.

GW Warhammer Underworlds
2019-11-20 18:00 - 23:59
Join Jason as he’s running a casual play of Warhammer Underworlds right here at the Forge Tavern.
Warhammer Underworlds is a tactical arena combat game. This is a system designed for balanced, small-scale tactical games that can be played quickly and easily by anyone, but which even experienced players will find challenging to master. The game rules are designed with competitive play in mind; matches can be played in under 45 minutes, on a smaller surface than our larger-scale games, and will be ideal for club or tournament play. And not only that, we’ll be fully supporting an organized play system for this game, right from day one.
The forces you can use in this game will be drawn from races across the Mortal Realms, including some for factions that have not received any new miniatures since we first ventured into the Age of Sigmar. Each of these sets will be composed of a small band of easy-to-assemble, push-fit miniatures in the style of our single-pose heroes to represent a specific band of warriors from that faction. These are provided in coloured plastic, and clip together, so you can quite literally be playing with them within minutes of opening the box with no glue or paint needed! (Though they do look great painted, and your dice will roll better – probably.)
The game is played using unique dice and card decks, and these will, to an extent, be unique to each faction. Both decks of cards used in the game are fully customisable – meaning you can choose to create all manner of combinations of overlapping abilities to use and objectives to achieve. This can be a really rewarding part of the game – and means that even the same faction can be played in wildly different ways. We’re expecting to see all sorts of combinations tried out at game stores, clubs and in tournaments.
—description from the publisher
It’s for anyone that is currently playing or is interested in playing as Jason will have some of his warbands for people to try out. He’splanning on starting it at 6 going to whenever it dies down. You don’t have to have an already built warband to play as we have a couple in the library and Jason will be bringing warbands of his own for a little diversity of choice.

Red Dragon Inn
2019-11-02 20:30 - 23:59
Heros all love a good adventure but what’s the best way to unwind after a long, successful dungeon crawl? Why, heading to the closest Tavern!
Come join us in this timeless and beloved tradition as we play ‘Red Dragon Inn’, a card game centered around this post-journey dive where you’ll take up the role of an adventurer in the process of unwinding.
This will be an event night that you won’t want to miss!

From the Organizer:
Speaking of Red Dragon Inn, I’ve got this second copy of Murgath the Blessed in my Inn and having one anti-paladin hanging out is bad enough but two is just plain bad for, well… Everything and everyone involved. However, we’ve reached an accord, he and I, and he has agreed to bother accompany someone else if they can prove themselves worthy. As such, I’m taking it upon myself to announce that November 2nd’s gathering will also be a tournament of skill where the winner will receive a copy of Murgath the Blessed to add to their collection. Table sizes will be determined by turnout, but will follow a tournament style format where the players will select one character to play as through the whole event. (Notes: entry is free and the prize is only Murgath, not a copy of “Murgath vs Ohava”)
