Title: Gaming Stores in or around Chicago?
Post by: timrichter9 on September 29, 2008, 02:09:08 AM
Anybody know of a good gaming shop in Chicago?
I am not interested in any shops that just stock Magic and WoTC.  I am mainly interested in game stores that have been around for a while and have a good selection of used RPG books (or in the alternative, a book store that has a large used RPG selection).
I will be in Chicago for 4 days in about 2 weeks and am trying to find some books that are out of print and always love to experience a new game shop.
Thanks
Tim

YES!!

 And why 3 threads to ask??

Do a topic search for Chicago or Illinois - about a month or more ago the Chicago area folks on here were rving about a really good one i think they said was near DuPage county.
It might be the same one I remember from my teenage years.
I don't live there - but my grandparents did and my parents grew up in that area....thats why i;m somewgat familiar.

I get it now.  My browser hung up twice.  I assumed they did not go through.
Sorry

Which includes THIS thread about a game store in that area:

I'm sure Koltar probably linked to the thread...

Games Plus (http://www.games-plus.com/), 101 Prospect Ave. Mt. Prospect IL. A quick ride on the Chicago Northwest train to the Mt Prospect station and walk a block or so.

Too bad you won't be here this weekend - the bi-annual (or is it semi-annual?) auction is on.

ETA: And if you're lucky enough to come in on a Wednesday night after 6:00, you'll have the awesome pleasure of meeting me :D

Absolutely.  One of the best gaming stores in the nation, for my money.
