D20 Games moves to a bigger space.

Jul 17, 2011 20:50

D20 Games, the local "gamer's lounge," recently moved from its previous digs to a larger space. It's still in the same strip mall it was in before, but now it has a wider corridor running the length of the retail space, side windows letting in much more natural light, a private gaming space in the back, and a kitchen space with a working stove.

They took out some of the kitschy stuff, but it's still a beautiful space, done in deep wine-colored walls and well-decorated with medieval weapons behind glass and steel. Amber, the young woman who runs the kitchen, cooked a pretty damn good stew, as well as pulled pork. It's her dream to have a great gaming lounge where the food is so good even mundanes will stop in.

I have to say that I don't quite understand the profit motive behind D20. It's hard to see how they'll stay in business for a very long time, as they don't have that big a bookstore sales, nor restaurant sales, nor even their snackbar. Still, it's such a beautiful store, and such a beautiful idea, that it deserves more attention. If you've got a D&D (or Magic, or Call of Cthulhu, or even Bunnies & Burrows) party somewhere in the South King County area, or even in Seattle, D20 is a stylish, comfortable place to host it.
