Popular Questions
Why do I have to pay for a place to play?

Do you offer classes or demos?

Do you have video games?
No, we don’t carry video games. There are many fine options for that kind of entertainment in the area.
I heard once that Dungeons & Dragons was a Satanic thing. What’s up with that?
Well, that urban myth goes back a ways, into the early 80s. Thanks to a couple of sensationalized and tragic stories in which someone involved happened to be a gamer, D&D (and by association, all RPGs) got a lot of negative attention. It got worse when Jack Chick published one of his tracts about it, making it seem like playing D&D was a Satanic ritual and that players would kill themselves over the game. It’s utter nonsense.
How do I find your store?
We are located inside the building. Use the doors numbered 3208 between the dollar store and the candy place. Our entrance is the second door on the right (just follow the signs).
Do you sell on consignment?
Yes, we will sell some of your items on consignment for you. Come in and talk to a member of staff about it.
Why not just play at home for free?
There are many reasons why someone might not want to play in their home: roommates, small children, pets, not wanting to clean up before/after, simply not having enough space for everything or everyone
Do you sell online?

What is Rule #1?
Rule #1 is “Don’t be a jerk.” We want our store to be a comfortable place for everyone. If something you are doing is making that difficult for others, we will ask you to either stop it or leave.
What about board games?
