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

7 years agoAn 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!

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.
