"Can't Miss" attractions for gamer nerds in Atlanta?


Gamer Life General Discussion


Looks like I'm being forced to go to Atlanta for training in early November.

I'd like to salvage what I can of the week of exile from home, so I'm curious - any major attractions there that I should see while I'm in town? I'm flying in Sunday the 8th, leaving late Friday the 13th (YAY FLYING!), and class will likely be 8am-5pm, M-F.

Thanks!!

White Wolf's offices were in Atlanta, last I heard.

I'm not sure if they are fond of random gamers showing up to gawk, 'though. Uninvited guests might end up involuntarily playtesting their latest vampire live-action (now with 150% live-action PvP!) game...

White Wolf's offices are in a suburb of Atlanta called Stone Mountain. I've been there once; there's not really anything there for a fan to see, though.

As for attractions, I can't really think of anything specifically for gamers. I live in Midtown, and have to drive at least 20 minutes to get to a gaming store. If you're just looking for things to do in the city, the Aquarium is really nice, you should check that out if you get the chance.

EDIT: White Wolf also owns a bar in Midtown called The Independent. It's not really geared toward gamers, though they do have some board games available. Here is a list of things to do in the city put together by White Wolf, none of which have to do with gaming.


Thanks for the list!

I just found out that Glock up in Smyrna doesn't do any factory tours, so there's no fun to be had there, either.

Dang.

I was hoping Atlanta had at least one gigantic awesome comic/game store or something. Locally, the Portland Metro area is kind of a letdown as far as that goes, but with the Atlanta Metro area being nearly two-and-a-half times the size, I had my hopes up.


There are some things to do there. I will post some ideas once I get home tonight.
