Looking For Games Shops In UK & Ireland

[OakwoodDM]

Schoolboy error on my part as well, I forgot my most local games store

Cambridge has a new games store up and running - the website is I believe just a placeholder at the moment: http://www.innersanctumcollectibles.com/

They mainly stock CCGs, boardgames and collectables, but they definitely do some RPGs already and are I think planning to expand the range in time as well. The people behind it seem cool, and they have a lot of space for gaming and organised play - available for RPG or CCG and boardgame use.

All my recent purchases have been old D&D via eBay (or Indie games from Leisure Games) so I unfortunately haven't actually shopped here yet - but I will.

Definitely do. They are really nice people, and they have a nice stock of RPGs now, and are more than happy to order things in for you that they don't have.

Also, don't know whether anyone else has mentioned it, but Cambridge have a Forbidden Planet as well, with its obligatory small selection of RPG stuff.

a Games Workshop store right on the mile in Edinburgh.

Unfortunately I don't know how much non-GW rpg stuff you would find in them nowadays - which is a shame, because GW were my original source of D&D and other stuff... I bought my copy of supplement 1 (Greyhawk) from them back when they were a cellar somewhere in crystal palace, and my 1e DMG (from the first 200 to come into the UK) from their Hammersmith store when it was their shiny new place.

Cheers

I use to shop at GW in Liverpool for my D&D and assorted RPG stuff back in the old days (when White Dwarf run D&D articles, some of which were great).

Times change, eh?

Waterstone's sometimes have RPG sections too. The one in London just off Picadilly Circus has an ok selection.

Oops, doubled that post.

There's a gaming shope (mostly board games and the like) near the British Museum too, which use to have rpg stuff. Can't recall its name and haven't been there in years, so not much use really.
