Great store with a surprisingly large selection and friendly, helpful staff. After not having played D&D since 3.5 was released I was missing it. I did some research on Pathfinder and was worried I might not be able to find any physical books. This store has tons of Pathfinder books, miniatures, and other tools to get you going. They also have a lot of D&D items and pretty much anything you can think of judging from what I saw when I was looking around. They also have a gaming area where people were playing every time I visited. The staff was very friendly and helpful, greeting us as we entered and asking if we needed any help. I’ve been here twice and had great experiences both times. Show less

An awesome and wide selection. A veritable table top haven. Plenty of tables for campaigns, and if I understand correctly, the owner may also do commissions for painting miniatures! Got my first dice pouch here. Support this great, local Indie!

I've been going to the Rusty scabbard since the mid '80s. The place never disappoints. I can't find what you're looking for you'll get all the help you need sometimes even from the customers. Just a good place all around for multiple hobbies

Got some really great games here! I wish they had more of a selection of board games over D&D items but it’s not anything that’s a deal breaker. Will definitely come back for more games!

Fast forward and now I’m retired from the military and I just stopped back in here to check it out. They still have tons of game accessories and miniatures. The selection of board games should please any customer and the variety of dice will leave you happy and browsing for a while.
