The Strange Realms - Tampa, Florida

I wanted to update my review because I have been playing star wars legion for a while at the store. They are so friendly and Robert is one of the nicest game store guys I have met in a long time. He's an old school gamer like myself so I might be biased. Take a moment and stop by, you won't regret it.

I came here for a figurine painting session and I can’t wait to return! They supplied the figurines, paint, and even the glue to hold the pieces together, if need be. All for an affordable price. This hidden gem is a great place for meeting and playing with friends!

I played here once and it was great! everyone was friendly and the owner seemed pretty chill.
However, I bought a Games Workshop box from them that was missing a few prepackaged bases. This is not the store's fault, so I contacted GW costumer service who are happy to send me the bases and I just needed a proof of purchase from my local gaming store and was curious if the store could print or pull a receipt from a few days ago.

It would be totally fine if they are unable with whatever system they used but the owner got defensive telling me I was wrong and the box had everything it was supposed to have because he checks them himself. (Uhhh, no, it obviously doesn't that is why I am here) Then told me they don't have proofs of purchases and he can't help me.

Again, everyone here is friendly with all the different games being played and if the selling and inventory system they use does not allow to print previous receipts from a few days ago then that's perfectly fine and Ill just make do with two less bases. But it was the defensiveness of the owner. GW makes mistakes in their packaging and they always fix them, not the stores you buy them from which is why I do not understand the defensiveness and refusal to help.

P.S For what it is worth, this is the same photo I sent to GW, built the brimstone horrors and what comes next is the 10 blue horrors but two bases are missing.

This place and owner are awesome. He has been so understanding and accomadating for a group of newbies. There's some great merchandise too, I love the selection. It provided the perfect atmosphere for our first time ever d&d campaign. He has snacks and drink too. He has a passion for this kind of in-person gaming. Keep up the great work Robert thank you! We will seen you soon!

From our first visit we felt immediately welcomed. They have a great Tabletop gaming space with open tables. The owner organizes events and charity streams and fosters a vibrant community of fellow geeks. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful shop with friendly staff. They have a wide selection of table top minis that can be useful for a D&D game, or any RPG game. Their Tabletop game area is phenomenal with tons of terrain and table space. Highly recommend coming and giving it a look if your in the hobby space. Only drawback is parking which is no fault of the stores but the plaza that it is in.

This is a great place to play and purchase table top games. They sell a large variety of minis and can hunt down anything specific you may be looking for. They have a restroom that they keep clean and well stocked. The owners are friendly and offer great customer service. I always feel welcome. As a woman it's nice to find a place that has character, sells what we need for games but also supports health and hygiene. Saturdays are their big board game day so if you want to try something new that's the best day to come. Highly recommend.

The Strange Realms is an awesome gaming store. Events, including tournaments and campaigns, are sponsored on a regular basis and are always very well run. Everyone is super friendly and willing to help newcomers learn the games. The store stocks a huge variety gaming materials and hobby supplies. If you don't see what you want, they are happy to special order items and they even give you a discount! All in all, the store is very welcoming - you should definitely stop by and check it out - you won't be disappointed.
