Does anyone know of a dedicated FLGS in the Dallas/Fort Worth area?
I'm not talking about comic stores that have a decent selection of gaming stuff (ala Lone Star Comics), I'm looking for a real game store.
I know of one. Games Workshop has a store in Grapevine Mills but they're Games Workshop only...

You know where Valley View Mall is, up by the Galleria on 635? There's a store called Game Chest there. It's all RPG's and box game type stuff. I've been getting Pathfinders there and whatnot, and they're fairly well stocked up on a lot of stuff. I've been in Dallas about 5-6 years now, and it's the best place I've seen here.
That's all there is to Valley View Mall though; it's kinda on the way out.
Oh, and I'm sure you know about Half Price Books; the main one's on Northwest Highway about a block east of Greenville, but they're all over the place. They have lotsa stuff come in and out, so it's hit-and-miss.
They've recently had mega 3.5e book dumps there, but right now it's kinda spotty.
Actually, I'm just trying to find a good reliable source that I can feel good about ordering and purchasing from. I am very familiar with Half Price, I hit four or five different ones a week. Lone Star Comics is okay but again, their focus is not games. I didn't know about Game Chest in Valley View, but you reminded me, I think they have one in Collin Creek in Plano...

Game Chest was my FLGS for years when I lived in Big D. The owner, Kevin, is kinda crotchety but a great guy. Since I moved to Killeen (b/c of the Army) I've been doing a lot more offline buying.
Wish I had known you back in my Dallas days, Heath. Would have loved to run a game with you in it. Wonder if we know each other...

Hell yeh, dude!
I've been here for about 5 years; moved here to make more money.
I got 3 kids now, so.....all my gaming is pbp.
I try to get up to Game Chest about once a month; I live over in Garland by Lake Ray Hubbard. I usually hit the Lone Star Comics on the way home from work because I work at UTSouthwestern over by Parkland, and swing out home on I-30.

There used to be a place off Mockingbird and Greenville Ave, inside a two story strip mall....I forget the name now(SW corner).
Also there is a place on Jupiter and Beltline(SE corner) strip mall that has a gaming story....again my old age prevents my mind for thinking of the store name.

Thanks DitheringFool. I usually just go to the Lone Star Comics in Mesquite so its name escaped me....
