Hi just to add my store to the list as well…..although predominantley we have specialised in PC Repairs since we opened up on the Ring Road we have started oficially stocking GW Products, one of the very few official independent stockists in the Nottingham area and I believe the only one offering instore games as from the New Year.

You can find our group page on

We have a BloodBowl tournie in the new year and a league will hopefully follow on from that in partnership with Vague.

That Mondocomico link goes to VC.

I’m fascinated to find out about all these shops – didn’t think there were any.

I hate to be a bit picky but you have a couple of things wrong.
Travelling Man dropped hardly any of it’s roleplay stock when it moved (and what was was stuff that just wasn’t shifting at all) and it closed over a year later.
I only clarify because your sentence seems to suggest a connection that wasn’t the case.

Interesting to see three shops opening in quick succession.

I just hope that they don’t over-saturate the market for games there

Just a quick note to say that Mondo Comico also hosts East Midlands Roleplayers games as there is a regular Tuesday night game there (downstairs while FANG have the upstairs) and a regular Thursday game.

Also the Mondo Comico Open Event is being organised by members of the East Midlands Roleplayers group (myself included) which will take place in Mondo Comico on Dec. 5th.

I don’t really have a FLGS any longer. There is a comic shop in town but they have a very small RPG section. Maybe 9′ feet of shelf space. They have a lot of support for CCGs though. We did have a decent shop years ago but they moved years ago. There is one I visit a few times a year that is around 40 miles away. And I found one in a neighboring state this past September that was awesome. I plan on going back next September as part of my birthday celebration. I buy 99% of my gaming books online. Often from Amazons used market. I do miss having a FLGS though.
