They have a pretty good supply of gaming stuff including a whole wall of D&D/d20 products. They also have an excellent supply of board games. Their prices aren't usually the best, but I like the convenience of being abel to pick up what I want when I want it and the chance to flip through books before I buy them. They also have a very nice selection of non-gaming products like statues, Polish boxes, incense burners, and other knick knacks. A non-gaming friend of mine recently bought Lord of the Rings shot glasses there, and I've bought many gifts for folks there over the years. The coolest was probably the cat wizard I got for my girlfriend last year. He has a built in candle holder that lights up his eyes and a cauldron that smokes thanks to a built in incense burner.I'm currently in the process of moving about 20 miles north though, and there's another gaming store of a sort up there, Between Books. They're basically a bookstore with heavy leanings towards sci-fi/fantasy and comics, but they have a respectable supply of gaming materials too. The thing that gives me a soft spot for the place is the used book section though. Back in high school I got most of the early Lovecraft books I read from there in the form of wornout paperbacks with yellowed pages crumbling around the edges. This was before the new Carol & Graff printings, and many of these books were a good 30 years old when I bought them. It was kind of like finding a bunch of old books in the basement, and it felt oh so appropriate reading Lovecraft from old books that were tough to find. I remember a certain feeling of elation when I scanned the L section and saw a Lovecraft title I didn't have yet.Both stores have some gaming events. I think Between Books might just have a few games in the back of the store at night, but Days of Knights has a lot of events. There's even a big room with a separate entrance in the back housing the "DoK's Gaming Club". I've never been in there myself, but it might be nice for a group without sufficient space for gaming at home.</blockquote>
