Any Good Game Stores in St. Louis?

[rgard]

I'm staying downtown at the Millenium for a few days next week. Are there any good FLGS in the downtown area?

Thanks,
Rich

St Louis was taken over by a chain called the Fantasy ground, which does pretty well but is still a chain. All its locations should be in the phone book. I don't know of any gaming stores downtown, its always been pretty sparse.

Years ago, I used to go to a pretty cool store in St. Charles (along the riverfront) called FBN The Fantasy Shop, or something like that. (FBN stood for "fly by night.)

No idea if it's still there, and it's not downtown St. Louis, but thought I'd throw it out there. I spent more than a few Saturday afternoons there, playing D&D or Rolemaster, watching other guys play Micro Armor or work on their SCA armor, and ogling Heavy Metal magazine.

My thanks to you both.

Not really. I haven't been to the one in St. Charles, but the other Fantasy Shops are pretty "meh" when it comes to gaming. I mean, they aren't terrible, indeed, they tend to be clean and have reasonably coherent employees, which is a plus, but they aren't great, either. Not something I'd want to visit on a trip, unless I was really really bored. (Though then again, this is St. Louis, so that's a good possibility..)

Miniature Market has opened a brick & mortar store in St. Louis that looks pretty sweeet. Check out their website www.miniaturemarket.com for the address.
