Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
Atlanta area?
So far it sounds like Dr. No's and Oxford are the only 2 close to downtown Atlanta?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I can vouch for Dr. No's. Big store, big selection. Fairly friendly crew, you should be able to find most of what you're looking for. They stock Euros, AT, CCGs, CMGs, and a bunch of other stuff. Make sure to hit up their clearance areas as I've found a couple of good things in there while I was browsing.
I can't say for sure about any others, that's the only one I visited. It's not in Atlanta proper but it's northwest of it in Marietta, I believe. There's an exit on 75 that will drop you pretty close to their shop.

The best game group in town is on hiatus right now while some logistics get worked out- usually it was at Mercer University but for now the group has sort of fragmented into smaller private organizations. There are no stores close to downtown Atlanta. Once AGF went down, gaming retail in the city went down the tubes. I haven't been in an actual game store in two years.
I _do not_ recommend Oxford in any way. For one thing, they hardly have anything other than RPG books and what they have is strictly MSRP. For another, I have a serious problem with some of their business practices and I have had a number of "incidents" with them in the past. The best was when I was overcharged for an RPG book, took it back into the store to correct the problem, and the owner of the store literally pulled out a price gun and restickered the book right in front of me with the price that he erroneously charged me, smack over the printed MSRP. It's a shame because they are a _great_ comic shop.
Dr. No's is pretty good, but I haven't been there in years. Be advised that it isn't really "in" Atlanta, it's quite far out into the suburbs (30 minutes or so out of the city w/o traffic). There was a shop in Lawrenceville that I never went to that I think closed recently, I think it was called Tower Games- you may want to check to see if they're still in business. The Gaming Pit is one north of the city that a lot of folks go to and I believe they do a wednesday night thing. I'm not really sure where it is, I think it's pretty far outside of the city.

The War Room shut down a couple of months ago. Another one bites the dust. They sucked anyway.
Huh. I hadn't been there in probly five years. Never really liked the place, but it had a good selection of GW stuff. Another one bites the dust indeed, that leaves Hobbytown. I miss AGF, I miss Mageworks, I even miss Sword of the Phoenix.

Tower games is reputed to have boardgames but I have yet to track it down. and lastly Titan Comics has a few. Their stock is ancient with a sprinkling of new stuff.
