Title: FLGS Directory
Post by: bayonetbrant on October 27, 2014, 02:58:52 PM
So I thought it might be useful for folks to be able to look up whether or not there's a FLGS near anywhere they might be traveling / moving / etc.

Interesting.   :)

I tend to just stop in and make an impulse purchase once every month or two.  They have varying game nights (lots of tables I think) but I've not really checked to see if they host any I'd be into at the moment. 

The owner told me I should come check out their huge Star Wars X-Wing nights, when I picked up GMT's Space Empires there last year, but I've never been pulled to X-Wing that much.

Well it's not truly "local" to me at this point -- it's a good two-hour drive from where I live right now -- but I still have to mention the Fantasy Flight Games Center (http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_npm.asp?eidm=213&epmi=s).

Awesome store. Board games, minis games, historical books, fantasy/sci-fi books, used games...I have spent literally an entire day in this place on at least one occasion.

Houston has a few good places, but up north where I am, there's a couple of good gaming stores:

Fat Ogre Games and Comics
http://fatogregames.com/
525 Sawdust Rd
Spring, TX 77380
(281) 292-8444

I've been to Fat Ogre a few times in the last several years. They have a pretty large store with lots of tables, mostly for minis games but also 'regular' tables for card and other games. They have a good gaming selection, with a wall devoted just to minis, and a few bookcases full of board games. They have lots of graphic novels, comics, and other stuff too.

There's also this place, though I have never been there. I follow them on Facebook though and they seem to be big on board games:

Ettin Games and Hobbies
http://www.ettingames.com/
241 FM 1960 Bypass Rd. East
Humble, TX 77338
832-644-8802

And as for the rest of town, there's plenty of other stores. I'm not sure of their status. Nan has been a staple of the Houston area for decades and is still going strong. He's pretty close to Rice U, which has a big gamer following among the students (they do something called OwlCon every year). I ganked this info from a post on BGG:

Nan's Games & Comics Too
2011 Southwest Fwy
Houston, TX 77098
(713) 520-8700

Midnight Comics
2505 South Highway 6
Houston, TX 77082

Asgard Games

3rd planet

I just found out that there are 2 new gaming stores locally.  There was nothing but a halfassed Gamehounds and now I have 2 real game shops only 30 minutes away!  Now I know what Indiana Jones felt like when he finally found the Holy Grail.

Vancouver, BC.

Board Game Warriors
http://www.boardgamewarriors.com/ (http://www.boardgamewarriors.com/)

Small store in New Westminster with good prices and they do a lot to host and promote gaming sessions at their store and other venues.

708 Clarkson St
New Westminster, BC
V3M 1E2 CANADA




Imperial Hobbies
http://www.imperialhobbies.ca/ (http://www.imperialhobbies.ca/)

The groggiest of the stores in the area (and the one with the worst website).  Probably the only one that still actively caters to the old school wargamer.

5451 No. 3 Road
Richmond, BC
V6X 2C7




Starlit Citadel
http://www.starlitcitadel.com/games/ (http://www.starlitcitadel.com/games/)

Mainly an online-only mail delivery store but they do host open house gaming days once a month.  Good prices (for Canada) and they have some really well done video reviews of games with a couple of decent looking ladies hosting.

61 West 7th Ave
Vancouver, BC
V5Y 1L4



Magic Stronghold
http://www.magicstronghold.com/ (http://www.magicstronghold.com/)

Mainly caters to the card game and RPG crowd but also carries a lot of miniatures.  They are open late and have a tonne of tables available for gamers to use.

3665 Kingsway, Unit 185
Vancouver, BC
V5R 5W2



Drexoll Games
http://drexollgames.blogspot.ca/ (http://drexollgames.blogspot.ca/)

Not my favourite place.  Kind of a snobby, hipster douche clique vibe to the place but a good selection and others swear by it.

Address: 103-2880 West 4th Ave
Vancouver

Off of the top of my head, here in beautiful AsheVegas we have:

Pastimes
175 Weaverville Rd # Y, Asheville, NC 28804


Used to be called "Record Survival," back in the day when it lived closer to UNCA / downtown - had a much larger RPG component to its gaming stock as well.  Has since moved and shifted focus to comics with some gaming items to be had still (heavy on the GW stuff, boardgames and the like; RPGs not quite so much).


The Wyvern's Tale
347 Merrimon Ave. Asheville, NC


Nifty place with a huge selection of items; from RPGs to boardgames and everything in-between.  Since I've not gamed much in, like, forever, I've had little to no reason to drop by here so I've no experience with staff, the full layout of the place and so on.  Oh, extra parking for the place is in the back!

Hillside Games
611 Tunnel Rd, Asheville, NC 28805


A "typical," sort of store having the usual gaming materials with the added bonus of several gaming table spaces in the back of the shop.  Staff is friendly and parking is easy.
