So forgive me as I 'catch up'.<a href="https://www.silversnail.com/default.html" target="_blank">The Silver Snail</a>, both the Ottawa and Toronto branches aren't much of a games store. They do always carry a good selection of the latest White Wolf and D&D (WotC) stuff. Which if its all you want is fine. I did actually pick a old Dragon magazine (130's) there once for cheap at the Toronto branch, but that was about 7 years ago and I havn't seen anything else like that since. Good comic shop though.I've been to both the Toronto and Ottawa branch a number of times over the years and their farely similar. The Toronto branch is larger, it is the head office after all.In Toronto there doesn't seem to be much actually. If your downtown though you should check out <a href="http://www.401games.ca/" target="_blank">401 Games</a> (at 401 Younge street). Its quite a small store, but it seems they do have regular events (RPG and others). They have a good selection of RPGs and board games. Mind you, I've only been there once quite recently and didn't have much time. The staff seemed pretty helpful and its a genuine Gaming Store.Close to 401 Games is the most disorganized store I've ever been in, <a href="http://www.greyregion.com/" target="_blank">Grey Region Comics.</a> But it may well be worth a visit. They have a backroom with a large amount of old RPGs. It your into old school you should take a look, though is kinda a black hole/can be very hard to find anything. Still they have stuff like the 1e MM2, Unearthed arcana, heck I think I saw one of the little red booklets for basic D&D, I noticed they had a bunch of old Marvel Superheroes stuff to. They got a pile of discount comics, and have computers that you can use for gaming etc internet cafe style. One of the nice things about the store is that if your thinking about getting rid of some of your old RPGs the owner may very well buy them from you.The best store I've been to in the Toronto area has to be <a href="http://www.thecomicwarehouse.com/" target="_blank">Comic Warehouse </a>in Brampton. Its got a great selection of RPGs, a huge number of board games, decent amount of miniatures, and of course a plethora of comics. They have a dedicated gaming area, thats right next to a  in house burger/hot dog/snack bar. The only con is that it feels a little crowded, but hey that means more awesome stuff.When I visited on Free RPG day, (yes they participated!), there where a pile of people playing magic in the gaming area. I'm actually hoping to run something there soon. The staff seems pretty awesome, I've only been there once and it was a rather busy day, still I certainly felt welcomed. They had great discounts on 3e materials, I need to go back!</blockquote>
