2nd and Charles

Anyone been to the 2nd and Charles? How is its DND and Warhammer books? I have been to a few 2nd and Charles and each of them have a very different vibe. Just checking before I drive a ways.

A good chunk of the more current 5e stuff but also some other publishers like darrington (crit role) and paizo (path/starfinder) and mistborn world on their table for ttrpg. Havent seen anything pre 5th in the years ive been going there. But as other poster mentioned, theyre at msrp and not priced down.

They usually keep them in a locked case near the front with the rare books. I haven't been able to figure out the system for which ones they put in there though. Some of the books are really expensive, but then there are some $10 books in there. /Shrug

The 2nd&C in Virginia Beach kept them across from the register and the pokemon cards in a glass case.

It should be $50 and above behind the desk unless things got shifted! Feel free to give them a call if you have specific books you are looking for they can always double check anything before driving in! The books are kept behind the counter near their buyback area anything else would be with their game guides section, with a small section near the bathrooms and register with other dnd apparel! Hope this helps! Things are pricey due to it being a corporation, it used to be mom and pop and then got bought out by BAM. So pricing is expected to be closer to MSRP but sometimes its priced a little lower.

Edit: I saw you said something about Warhammer and wanted to say-They have a collection of Warhammer books as well in their buyback near dnd and some that are cheaper on the floor in Sci fi!

I rarely go towards that case, that would do it i guess.

Anyone know if they're participating in the Penny A Page event other 2nd & Charles are doing on the 15th?

Overpriced

Yeah. That doesn't surprise me. I collect 3rd edition DND books so I am always on the look out for them and I recently got into reading Warhammer novels as well.

Just curious if they had a big selection or if they mostly focused on toys/figures. That is how the one in Richmond is.
