Message: <blockquote data-quote="Crothian" data-source="post: 5094733" data-attributes="member: 232">These are the 4 stores currently in Columbus Ohio.  There are more then a few gamers on En World from around here so hopefully someone will also talk about them.The closest store to me is the Armory.  It is about a mile away.  The guy who runs it is friendly enough.  The selection is not that great but it is the cleanest of the gaming stores. The books they carry though are all ones I can get so much cheaper on line or at the local B&N store.  The store with the best selection is the Guard Tower.  It is the farthest drive for me and because of that I never went there all that often.  Great selection and I've found some great books there.  But the place smells and the customer service was never good.  Even going in on Tuesday around noon there seemed to be people in there talking to the clerks and the clerks never seemed to like to be interrupted to check out a customer.   It's also a store were they seem to like the games they like and bad mouth games they don't right to you when you are buying the games they don't like.  Ravenstone used to be good but the selection just got terrible.  The last time I went in it looked like they the only new stuff was from WotC.  A few years back I lived in the area and went there a lot.  I think it is close to going out of business especially when they changed there hours to being open like 6 hours a day.  I've been there when the hours said they were open but it was not.  Soldiery is the only place in Columbus I encourage other people not to go.  They ripped me off and when I spoke of it to the owner he basically said that they did and challenged me to do something about it.  Since then I've never gone back and never speak well of them in threads like this here and other places on the net.  When they've had a booth at Origins I've talked to many people there about not shopping there.  I know there are locals who use and like these stores.  I did for many years, but slowly it became not worth my time and effort to put up with all the negatives.</blockquote>
