Smart La Porte regulars never make a one-item trip. Restock Saturday morning at the 10 AM new-release open, claim a paint station seat while the hall fills, then play the 6 PM Pokemon event or an open table into the evening.
“Plenty of tables to game at and they had all the warhammer stuff I could want. Excellent customer service too and I’ll be joining them in their Warhammer classes!”— Sean Scott, Google review, 5 stars
That progression is available to anyone: staff run one-on-one front-table demos with store demo sets, the Learning Center teaches games from zero, and Session Zero nights seat brand-new roleplayers with a DM.
