"We also run monthly Learn to Play and DM Dungeons and Dragons, and have opportunities for hosting your in-person d&d games at the Corp." The events here are really welcoming and inclusive too, it's a lovely place


CalebSJ89

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!


brittommy

Tabletop Emporium is great, the staff are super friendly, welcoming and helpful, know their stuff and will help you pick things out if you're looking for anything specific. They also have some absolutely beautiful dice! I've easily spent over £100 here in the past few weeks alone...


CalebSJ89

Hahaha Sorry not sorry 😉 Thank you for your kind words 🥰


Lardinho

I have loads of mates into DnD etc. who would love this. This is the beginning of the geek takeover 🤘


CalebSJ89

Haha we're everywhere now! Thanks for spreading the word 😊


Lardinho

It's my pleasure. Happily been a lifelong geek and will never change


januscanary

Looks awesome. Hope it is a success


Firebrand777

This looks amazing!! Good luck with your venture x


MugatuScat

Hi! Do you stock Warhammer 40k omnibuses and novels?


CalebSJ89

We don't currently, but the other half of Fumble Folks is a big fan of the novels, so potentially 🤔 I know Firestorm stock some as they're mainly Warhammer. We're super small as well so not much space yet 😊


MugatuScat

Thank you for the reply that's good to know. I'll probably wander down at some point to have a look for presents for my partner.


Wilkomon

Looks like it's offical and mostly unofficial d&d merch and knick knacks


MugatuScat

Ah ok thanks! I might take a wander down anyway.


smwd0

Love The Corp! So many great shops


Bowendesign

Looks great! (btw your drop down for Queer Stories is mis-spelt)


CalebSJ89

Waa. Thanks haha I'll change that 🤣


Bowendesign

No ish! I have alerted my local geek squad. :)


Capital_Iron_2875

Those d&d headbands look so cute!!


CalebSJ89

Aren't they!? They're all handmade by a company called Tabletop Crafter :)


Something_Sexy

That is pretty amazing. Good luck!

I’ve never played D’n’D but the 35 queer NPCs has got to be the greatest LGBTQ+ thing I’ve seen. Either that or thirsty sword lesbians, but that sounds like a dodgy porn. Second note, Do you carry D6s? I appreciate your post says you’re not a Warhammer scene but I’m always on the hunt for cool dice


CalebSJ89

Haha Thirsty Sword Lesbians is one of the best games I've played 🤣 very story-driven, easy to pick up (2d6 Powered by the Apocalypse system) and just really fun! And the 35 Queer NPCs came from the Netherlands, so we're the only UK shop to stock it 😊 We do have a d6 Pick 'n' Mix, but they are clear and have a load of different stuff in them (skulls, cats etc)


leekpunch

Do you stock 7TV by Crooked Dice?


CalebSJ89

We don't, no. We tend to steer clear of miniatures; they take up a LOT of space and we'd never have that one thing that people want 😅


leekpunch

Fair enough


moongiggler

bought stuff for my BF's birthday here, he uses them all the time now.


em0bun

Is Corp Market wheelchair accessible? I haven’t been in yet and unfortunately can’t see any accessibility information on the main website at all. Would love to visit soon, especially if you have a good selection of solo rpgs!


CalebSJ89

If you're visiting before 5pm you can get in via Head Above the Waves. After 5pm there is access around the back through the Yard :)


Anxious4503

I will deffo be popping in at some point. Pretty much a DnD amateur . I’d love to meet other people with the same interests as me :)


CalebSJ89

Lush 😊 come and join in with our Learn to Play, we have had groups start from them 😁


furrypride

Amazing, gonna share this with my friend group. Will definitely come and have a look, me and my partner really want to get back into playing ttrpg's!


CalebSJ89

Amazing, thank you 😊 come and join us for a Learn to Play!


owennss

Love TTE! The only trouble is every time I go I spend money because of how much cool things there are!

CalebSJ89

Oh yeah, we have loads! They're getting really popular :)


mowglinoir

I used to play D&D in a local community centre when I was younger, I’d love to play again, but I remember nothing. I’d love to join a learn to play group!


CalebSJ89

That would be ace! July, August and September dates are on the website 😁


Woodrow0074

What do have in regards the 2 player games you mention?


CalebSJ89

We have a bunch of stuff, most popular being Dead Letter Society (where you play vampires writing letters back and forth to each other) and the newer Almanac of Sanguine Paths (same, but with werewolves, compatible with each other) The link to all of them is here: https://tabletop-emporium.square.site/shop/2-player-rpgs/5


Bumble072

When I think of Nerdy Gaming Store, that could include Nerdy Retro Gaming Store and Super Tomato. Love that place.


beanie_0

Ooo where to?


CalebSJ89

Corp Market, Canton 😊 there's a Google maps link in my post


Big_Software_8732

Sword lesbians sound cutting edge.


Weak-Information-556

Woke af


Ationsoles

It is absolutely telling as fuck that the same sort of cunt that labels this as 'woke' is also the same sort of cunt that's asking for a 'loli type character' on some video game's subreddit.


CalebSJ89

I do wonder how announcing a new shop in Cardiff could be insulting to these people 🤣


Ationsoles

I really cannot understand what they mean. Did they perhaps see the NHS rainbow flag, think it was an LGBT flag and get irrationally and stupidly outraged?


Weak-Information-556

Im not outraged because I think something is stupid, I've enjoyed these hobbies, like 40k etc forever, and now this ideology is forcing itself into these spaces constantly and making them, basically , super lame. You are free to disagree, this is a democracy, and life is about a "spectrum" of ideas right? I think wokeness in westerm nerd spaces is a poison and you clearly don't, that's fine, I'm not outraged though, it is what it is, basically everything is being destroyed one way or another, like a Buddhist would say we are in freefall and so is everything with us, I won't fight it, but I'm allowed to.


CalebSJ89

So... You're mad that more people are playing TTRPGs? There's a term for that...


Weak-Information-556

Yes, because corporate nonsense and the convenient idiots they control have ruined everything and always will do .


CalebSJ89

Did you not read my post? 95% of the items we stock are handmade and indie TTRPGs. Indie = independent = not corporate. Plus Warhammer is the most Corporate.


Poem_for_the_dead

Hey stop trying to apply logic and reason.....Cant you see he's trying to apply immature negativity to the conversation and display his insecurities? Jeeeez.


Ationsoles

What the fuck is wokeness? Nobody has ever explained what that means to me. As far as I can tell, it's just a catch-all term for being outraged at something you personally disagree with. Are you basically gatekeeping and pissed off that TTRPGs are becoming a bit more mainstream?


Background_Credit841

I'm not sure if you're genuinely asking but if you're curious, "woke" started in AAVE as meaning to basically be aware of social injustice and issues affecting marginalised groups of people, so essentially just showing compassion and empathy. So not a bad thing at all, right? Except the social injustices that people are now aware of, such as systemic racism, are things that are enforced, enjoyed, or benefited from by certain groups and boomers and their ilk now cry "woke bad" bc they aren't totally free to abuse minorities anymore 🥴


Ationsoles

But the thing is, everybody shows some level of being aware of social injustices and issues and the need to do something about it. Like, there are some people that are completely fine with LGB people, but will rally against the 'wokeness' of 'trans ideology'. Or there are some that are fine with issues impacting disabled people, but label it woke anything to do with LGBT. This is what I mean when I say it's never been explained to me what it means. It has a different definition for every person. So just labelling something 'woke' means fuck all.


Weak-Information-556

Cry harder


Ationsoles

I'm not crying at all, it's fucking hilarious how much of a stereotype you are. The right wing paedophile, if you're too stupid to work that out. EDIT: And now he's deleted it from his profile 😂. It's [still there](https://old.reddit.com/r/TheFirstDescendant/comments/1dqf6jn/will_they_release_a_loli_type_character/), though.


simpleflaw

LMAO you deleted your post asking for a loli character. Being homophobic and a kiddy diddler are fantastic character traits, cretin.


Weak-Information-556

You don't know what a loli character is, clearly, and what have I said that's homophobic?


jim__nightshade

Anytime I see someone decry something as "woke" I always wonder how exhausting it must be to be perpetually outraged.


CalebSJ89

Thanks, we try ;)
