D&D Learn to Play
Wednesday, July 1, 6:00 p.m.
The first Wednesday of each month, TGP’s own Ben Creed (a friendly face known for comedy, trivia, and TCG excellence in both One Piece and MTG) will be your guide as you take your first steps into the Forgotten Realms.
The Learn to Play session starts at 6:00 p.m. and players don’t have to provide anything but themselves. Well, themselves and also a general openness, a will to learn and the expectation that role playing might feel a little goofy at first — but, the knowledge that the more you lean into it the more fun you’ll have. If you’ve always been D&D curious, if you’ve seen it portrayed in popular media, if you’ve been watching actual play shows or listening to podcasts like Dimension 20 or Critical Role, this is your opportunity to start your own story!

MTG Modern RCQ High Roller Tournament “Ocelot” (Monthly MTG Series)
Saturday, July 11, 12:00 p.m.
Modern is a tight, quick, cohesive way to play competitive Magic. Encompassing decades of MTG history and comprised of the landscape born from experiencing Magic: The Gathering’s growing pains, Modern is a slower format in terms of cards added and lack of rotation, but much faster in every other way.
Monthly cash tournaments at The Gathering Place rotate between Modern, Legacy and Vintage, and June it’s clearly all about Modern! Cash tourneys, RCQs, the works! While Legacy and Vintage are both full-proxy friendly at TGP, Modern is zero proxy. All cards are required to be the real deal.
For this tournament, entry is $30 per player, entry contributes to the prize pool, so more players means bigger payouts. TGP will also continue adding bonus prizing to the cash tourney series, since folks have been AMPED about that recently and there’s certainly plenty to choose from when deciding on Modern-relevant prizing! For this tournament, that extra prizing comes in the form of the special Store Champ full-art Ocelot Pride!
Riftbound 2v2 ‘Magma Chamber’ Tournament
Sunday, July 12, 1:00 p.m.
Join us for our first Magma Chamber Riftbound event, July 12 at 1:00pm!
This event will be $20 per team! The 2v2 Magma Chamber, also known as ‘Two Headed Giant’ in other spaces, is a game where you and a teammate take on another team. In this, the score limit is first to 11 between the team, and there are three battlefields to control (the first player’s battlefield is removed).
Players can play spells during their teammate’s turn, and the turn order alternates between teams. So, first player will play, then an opponent, then that first player’s teammate, then the second opponent.
Interestingly, the final point system is also different. A player must score each battlefield in the same turn to get the final point through conquer, except any that was occupied by an ally during that turn’s beginning phase. This means that you’ll essentially need to conquer any battlefield your team doesn’t control.
MTG NYC 2-Headed Giant 2: Escape From TGPNY
Sunday, July 12, 12:00 p.m.
We’re running it back for round 2! We’re heading back to the streets! The New York City Streets, that concrete jungle where dreams are made of! If Magic: The Gathering is gonna be in NYC, we’re going to run another 2-Headed Giant Tournament! Last time it was just Spider-Man and TMNT, but now we’ve got a fresh crop of Marvel Super Heroes to add to the mix!
Entry is $35 per player, $70 per team. Each player will receive two packs of SPM, two packs of TMT and two packs of MSH (12 packs for each team). Prizing is one pack of each set in the mix, three packs total, per team, per win, with bonus prizes on the table depending on attendance. See you there, citizens!
MTG RCQ: Sealed
Sunday, July 18, 11:30 a.m.
$55 entry per player, MTG Marvel Super Heroes packs. Six packs per player, Top cuts to a Draft. This is a one-slot RCQ at CompREL, so come prepared to play! To sweeten the pot for this particular RCQ, The Gathering Place is contributing $50 of TGP store credit to the prize pool, with all fifty bucks going to our first-place winner!
MTG “Fanatical Mogging” Premodern Cash Tournament (MTGPunks Series)
Saturday, July 25, 12:00 p.m.
Premodern MTG is a community-driven format consisting of the sets from Fourth Edition to Scourge. Classic, old frame cards printed between 1995 and 2003, which were standard legal at some point during this period.
See the list of all legal sets here, check out the entire Premodern card pool here.
Folks have been playing a lot of Premodern in the Triangle this year, and The Gathering Place is no exception. It’s been a great entry into our MTGPunks series, and that continues in July!
Entry is $30 per player, entry goes into the prize pool, and bonus prizes from the TGP Dungeon are certainly still in play! For this month’s Premodern tournament, the extra prize is a foil FNM printing Mogg Fanatic!
