I love this place! The owner that I met is super cool too. I gave him lots of props for what they did to the place and taking such a risk for a business of this type in Downtown Novato.
Let's take it from the top.
When you enter the place, it is CLEAN! It like the owner has a background in interior handiwork. Wall trim, baseboards, column trim is all expertly done. The "Fortress" theme carries on in the interior with stone wall facades in the front and rear of the store. They also have little details like swords and flags hanging throughout the store.

The gentlemen heard my story in only needing a d20, and honestly I couldāve came back.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis store is awesome! They listen to customer feedback and order games that they don't have in stock (which feels very few and far between as they have a HUGE stock!) immediately which leads to the product getting to their store in a timely manner. The employees welcome you in like a friend and have fostered an amazing welcoming culture in store because of it! I go in every Tuesday and Friday night to play Magic the Gathering and always leave with a smile on my face.
