Gaming stores in Chicago

[A2Z]

I'll be in Chicago this weekend and I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some gaming stores in the Oak Lawn area. I know Games Plus is having some sort of auction but that's a little far to go this weekend. So if anyone knows any good places to go let me know. Thanks.

Hmm... I'm going to suggest Orland Mall, myself. (A little out of your way, but worth it IMHO.) It's off of I-80, and I'd say from the loop (Chicago) it should only take you about 30-45 min.

There is a store named Gamer's Paradise. (And, if IIRC, there is a WotC store, too.)


I live in NW Indiana, and that's where I go. There's not even one that I know of in NW Indiana. I tend to do most of my buying online needless to say!

Best of Luck!

Good Gaming!

The site is a one page, but the store is pretty good.

Josh Brown, who is the Manager, runs a lot of big events (RPGA and others) including-

That's the following weekend but they usually have something going on. Call ahead and there might be an open seat at a game!

Thanks Mark. But I don't have a lot of time this weekend so I was hoping to find something a little closer to the Oak Lawn area. I usually go to the Gamers Paradise in the Chicago Ridge mall but I'm looking for some dice and they don't seem to carry the type I'm looking for. Does anyone have any more suggestions? The Wizards online retail locator doesn't give me much either.
