Hello Dice Masters Fans!

We’re working on rolling out a change for how Swiss Rounds for Dice Masters are played in tournaments. Instead of Best of 3 Matches, the suggested format for the Swiss Round portion of a tournament will now be single-game matches with a suggested time of 30 minutes per round. This will apply to Monthly OP and Storyline OP events.

WizKids Press Release - WizKids October/November Release Date Updates

From the WizKids Website

We have a couple of updates on the shipping schedule for our October and November products.
Some of you may not be aware that there has been a major west coast port issue affecting all imported goods coming into the country. As such, many of our products destined for North and South America have been moving through the system slower than usual. European product, imported by Esdevium Games, should be unaffected by any delays and the release dates will be confirmed on both Esdevium’s and WizKids’ websites.

For those of you that wish to know the extent of the issue we’ve been wrestling with for months, you can go here to read about the situation.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Despite our effort to adjust our schedules to account for unforeseen logistics issues, the magnitude of the problem at the port ate up all of our slack time and has resulted in the delays outlined below.

WizKids Press Release - Important WizKids Event System Announcement!

From the WizKids Website

WES logo

The WES is dead. Long live the new WES!

As noted in one of Justin Ziran’s recent open letters, we have been hard at work on a ground-up rebuild of the WizKids Event System (the “WES”) and the WizKids Product Replacement System (the “WRS”). We are excited to announce that we are rolling out the initial release of the new WES and WRS on Monday, June 9th, 2014. As part of this release we have ported over the data for all stores, events, and players from the old systems as well as the store locator to make for as smooth a transition as possible. As such you should be able to log in with your current credentials on Monday. Please note:  We will be taking the old WES down for maintenance on Monday morning to start the transition. We’re hoping to have the new WES back up in the afternoon. We apologize for the inconvenience.
