The Sixth Gun #1 – During the darkest days of the Civil War, wicked cutthroats came into possession of six pistols of otherworldly power. The Sixth Gun — the most dangerous of the weapons — vanished.

When the gun surfaces in the hands of an innocent girl, dark forces reawaken. Villains thought long dead set their sights on retrieving the gun and killing anyone in their path. Only Drake Sinclair, a gunslinger with a shadowy past, stands in their way.

Attention all players of Magic: the Gathering:

Due to incredibly high turnout for events at Enchanted Grounds and our inability to get the events started and finished in a timely manner, we are making a change to registration. Effective immediately, all registration for Magic tournaments at Enchanted Grounds will end 10 minutes before the scheduled start time. There will be no exceptions: if you are not entered into the system by the 10 minute mark, you will not be able to participate in the event. If you register via phone, and are not present at the start of Round 1, you will forfeit Game 1. At the 5 minute mark, you will forfeit the match. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Hopefully making up for it, the inconveniences you’ve all been experiencing due to late registrants will end. Thank you.
