This weeks Store Spotlight is Military Gamer Supply in El Paso, Texas. Store owner Jeremiah and his local Pathfinder Shane are just about to run a Deadzone Learners League, so get in touch if you want to join in!!
Ten years ago two friends had this crazy idea of opening up agame shop. Two years ago that dream became a reality and we opened up our first location in El Paso Texas. One of the founding members of company had been serving in the Air Force for nine years now and is still active duty. We wanted to find a way to give soldiers an alternative to just hanging out in their barracks. We believed we could marry the city of El Paso and Fort Bliss by giving them both a place to game. We didn’t want to just stop with tabletop games; we wanted to bring it all to the table. So we started our dream by bring together card games, tabletop games, board games, console games, PC games, and Virtual reality all in one location.
We carry a plethora of games in our store, however one of the awesome things about the miniature gaming world is that it’s ever expanding. I remember the first time someone brought in Deadzone in the store and I have to say the terrain had me in love at first sight. I think I spent the next two weeks reading everything I could get my hands on that pertained to the system. The amazing thing is it didn’t stop there. Mantic games had Warpath, The Walking Dead : All out war, and Kings of War.
I truly believe that Mantic Games is onto something very special. I love that they test out their products and keep them evolving from feedback and their community. We are very lucky to have a healthy community of players at our store. We couldn’t have done this without them.
