In July, Heroic Adventures ushered in a new era of gaming with their new game space. Formerly Brevans Patisserie, the addition to the store was added to accommodate the growing population of gamers at the shop.
With the add-on it not only allows for more game space in general, it opens opportunities for more gaming day-to-day. Drew Rose, manager of Heroic adventures says, "With the expanded game space, it allows more people to come in any time of the day and there is always space to play. We are no longer crammed like sardines."
This past week the new space played host to a Friday Night Magic Drafting event, and two Pokemon Tournaments. The feeling about the game space was overwhelmingly positive by participants. Matt Horst, employee and Pokemon player, said, "It was great having a space to our own to host a bigger tournament. The new space allowed for us to interact with each other more closely and we were able to feel like we were not in customers way as we played."
The new addition also includes a private game room in the back. This is perfect for D&D/Pathfinder groups to host campaigns away from the other things happening in the store.
Though it just opened for public use there are still some minor cosmetic work needing to be done. Over the next few weeks their will be art and other things added to the walls to bring the room to life. More tables will be added and the game space will get its own name.
Everyone at Heroic Adventures is excited about the new gaming area and they hope you are too! The new area is also great for students to relax and get away from school work. Rose says this is space is great for students, "I would like to see more students come here when they have time between classes. This would be a great place to help keep their mind off of school and relax. By having a larger gaming area it not only accommodates this, but allows the amount of product in the store to expand, giving customers more options in the store."
Heroic Adventures is located in Edwardsville, Illinois and located at 1005 Century Drive #1007. For more information about the game space, or product in general give them a call at (618) 659-0099.
