Attic Productions presents "Never After Happily"

Attic Productions presents a playful twist on familiar fairy tales. It starts like a trip to a storybook realm where well known characters seem ready to revisit their adventures in fresh ways, then it stops short and veers away from that familiar setup. The tone nods to tales everyone already knows while steering toward something different.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Weekly

Yu-Gi-Oh! players can compete at BLADE Gaming in a weekly tournament that uses a Swiss format adjusted to attendance. Most weeks have a $5 entry fee. Participants receive OTS packs for playing, and each win earns a booster pack. At times, specialty events such as release events, OTS Championships, or YCS VIP qualifiers may replace the regular tournament.
