News and Updates

Thank you!

We want to thank each and everyone of you who attended, volunteered and helped us! Thanks to you, the first Mythic Con (Prime, as Tuna and Nick call it) was a success!!!

Without our amazing attendees, super powered GMs, fun instructors, superb presenters, great vendors, wonderful sponsors, and tireless volunteers, Mythic Con would still be an idea on a napkin a greek restaurant. So thank you all!

We've said the gaming community in the Charlotte and Asheville areas is amazing and something to cherish. You guys proved that this weekend. So again, thank you!

There's no rest for the wicked, we are now off to get Mythic Con West in Asheville set-up. Hope to see you all there! March 1-3, 2024. You can get tickets now!

And hotel reservations are also available! (Note, our room block starts Feb 28 and goes through March 4! The reservation page shows the entire block, you will need to change the dates if you don't plan on staying in Asheville that long!)

Join us at our Flea Market on Saturday!

We are excited to announce we are having a FLEA MARKET on Saturday from 6 pm to 8 pm! We still have spaces available for anyone who would like to set up a table to sell their wares!

Not sure what would be appropriate? Anything game related! Old boardgames, rpgs you no longer play, card games, miniatures, game crafts like terrain (even hand made stuff!) and gaming accessories! (If you are like Karen and Tuna, they have SHELVES of games and game related items... oh wait, there's actually a couple of closets too.... they should really get a table now that we think about it.)

Tables are first come first served! Space is limited! Sign up now

Support Charlotte Area Game Stores! — Part 3

Support the local game, comic and gamer-friendly stores in and around Charlotte, NC – Part 3

And we return to our local game tour! We won't be able to share all of them in one post so stay tuned for more!

Here’s the ones you may see our convention flyers at. Be sure to tell them you saw them promoted by Mythic Con.

Red Fox Gaming

Next we go to the land of Hickory, NC. Red Fox Gaming is located at 2111 Catawba Valley Blvd SE, Hickory, NC.

They are primarily a video game store where you can buy, sell, or trade your video games. From retros and classics to new releases they probably have it. (or can get it!) They cover a range of consoles from the classic NES and Sega Master System up to the PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

But of course they do more than just buy and trade video games! They carry Funko POP's, collectible statues, licensed plush, and novelty gaming room products such as door mats, mugs, clocks, and more. And they carry the Pokemon card game!

You can also find photos of recent trades and events on their facebook page

Time Tunnel Comics

We now head north and west from Charlotte to visit a store that has no gaming but lots of cool stuff. (But we feel like we've established that gamers like LOTS of different things, and many game stores carry comics, so this shouldn't be a surprise.) Welcome to Time Tunnel Comics! Time Tunnel is located at 265 2nd Ave SE in Hickory, NC.

Time Tunnel has a lot, no seriously, they really do! They have a large supply of new comics and sorted back stock; hundreds of trade paperbacks; tons of collectible figures (such as Pop figures, Marvel Legends and Selects, DC direct and Multiverse). And they pride themselves on their subscriber rates. If you would like to sign up and never miss an issue of your favorite on going series (while getting a good deal), contact Time Tunnel Comics!

Find out more on their website and their facebook page.

Pixies Keep Toys and Games

We are now heading southwest from Charlotte. Today we are visiting Pixies Keep Toys and Games! They are located at 2 N Congress St Suite 102 in downtown York, SC.

Pixies Keep started with a realization that York needed something for families—both the adults and kiddos. A toy store! They offer a unique selection that includes LEGO, Calico Critters and Wizards of the Coast.

Everyone can let their imaginative and fun side loose here! Go back in time with comic books and action figures from your childhood (or introduce your kids to them), have fun playing the latest editions of Magic the Gathering or Dungeons and Dragons. Kids can compete in Pokemon tournaments, Magic the Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons demos, and plenty of toys and costumes to play with (or in)!

The best thing of all? Pixies Keep has plenty of tables so come play with LEGO, board games, or card games or - just come and chill. They'd love for you to go visit them!

For more information visit their webpage: or their facebook page.

Dead Elf Collectibles

Next, we highlight another game store right here in Charlotte! Dead Elf Collectibles is located at 5309 E Independence Blvd F in Charlotte, NC.

Dead Elf Collectibles is a collectible card game wonderland. From Pokemon to MtG they seem to have it all! They also have a good selection of Warhammer as well! (That might explain the awesome play area they have, 40k players need a lot of space!) And they have other collectibles as well.

Find out more information at their webpage or their facebook page.

A. Pennysworth Comics, News & Collectibles

The next store we are visiting is A Pennysworth Comics, News & Collectibles! A. Pennysworth is located at 11025 Monroe Rd Suite d in Matthews, NC.

Since the store was founded in 1999, they haven't strayed from their mission to bring the best comics—old and new—to Charlotte. They carry other collectibles as well, including collectible statues, toys, Funko pops, and graphic novels.

Find out more on their webpage and their facebook page.

Parker Banner Kent & Wayne – Comics and Games

We head north of Charlotte for this next game store. Parker Banner Kent & Wayne - Comics & Games or PBKW (as us locals call it) is located at 21500 Catawba Ave Suite A in Cornelius, NC.

We love this quote from the owner, Matt, "Originally the name would be Parker Kent Murdock and Wayne but it didn’t seem to flow as well for me… and Matt Murdock was already in a law firm. The name is long… it doesn’t scream comics and games… but you can see it in the eyes when the name clicks and all falls into place." So true, Matt, so true! We remember the first time it clicked for us!

PBKW has been a Charlotte area staple for years. They have rpgs, board games, card games, comics, toys, a kobold guarding a mimic chest, paints, basing supplies, a large play area, a kobold guarding a mimic chest, dice...did we mention the kobold guarding the mimic chest? 😛 (Yes, we fixate on things.)

Look for their events on their website and their Facebook page.

At PBKW Wednesdays are always a holiday cause its NEW COMICS DAY! 🙂

RC Games

We know we have some Pokémon lovers who attend our con. We have found the perfect store for you! RC Games at 2725 Northwest Blvd P in Newton, NC! They are located northwest from Charlotte, but if you (..cough..**Steve**..cough..) like Pokémon, it is definitely worth the trip!

They carry other tradable card games as well, but its obvious they are Pokémon lovers through and through. AND they have an awesome kid's corner with a console and some toys for kiddos to hang out in.

House of Cards

Now we head north and a little east to House of Cards Winston. They are located at 4007 Country Club Rd # C in Winston-Salem, NC.

@House of Cards Winston has something going every day! No seriously, they have a weekly event schedule! Take a look at their calendar on their webpage and their facebook page.

They have cards, rpgs, accessories and board games! And they have a large play area. If you are from Charlotte, head up to Winston-Salem and check out House of Cards.

Luck Factory Games at Mythic Con!

Image from Blood on the Clocktower: The Vizier

Remember Luck Factory Games from our Charlotte Game store tour?? Well they are going to be AT Mythic Con!!!!

They are going to be running several games (Blood on the Clocktower, Clank! Catacombs, Horrified: Universal, and Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza) AND are available to help anyone learn new games!!

They will be set up in the Gallery so be sure to go by and say hi! They are really excited to be a part of Mythic Con and to meet everyone.

Oh! And if you want to be guaranteed a spot, search for LFG on Tabletop.Events! Spaces are limited, so act now!

Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol added to the schedule!

Space Marines surrounded by enemies

The Emperor of Man is calling only the bravest, most loyal to servants to fight the armies of Chaos and Xenos! (Or maybe you want to fight the Imperialist Empire of Man? We are good with that too! We don't take sides.)

We are excited to announce Warhammer 40k Combat Patrol as been added to our schedule!

This is a perfect opportunity to test out 40k if you've ever been curious. If you are a seasoned vet to 40k, bring your own combat patrol squads and get some skirmishing in!

You can find these on tabletop.events by searching for either Warhammer or 40k.

Here’s the ones you may see our convention flyers at. Be sure to tell them you saw them promoted by Mythic Con.

Get Some Game

Get Some Game is located at 1224 Commercial Ave in Charlotte, NC. GSG (as the cool kids call it) has board games, rpgs, card games, figurines, posters, Gundam style model kits, plushies, cool toy dispensers and other things we know we missed. (There is just sooooo much to see here!) Seriously the layout of GSG makes you want to wander around and explore!

GSG is a family loving store with lots of space available for you and the family to play. And they host lots of card game tournaments!

You can even order from the store online.

Check out their Facebook Page for their events.

Spandex City Comics

Did you know Spandex City Comics is celebrating their new location at 8420 Bellhaven Blvd in Charlotte NC? Don't worry they didn't relocate too far away from their original location. Karen estimates its like five to ten minutes (but we've learned that Karen's sense of time and distance isn't that great...use GPS instead of Karen...lesson learned).

Spandex City is very excited about their new location! More gaming space! More inventory! AND more ice cream offerings and iced coffee! (Yes you read that right, you can game and EAT ICE CREAM!) Games, comics and ice cream! A gamers trifecta!

To keep updated with what's going on with Spandex City check out their webpage and their FB page.

Collectibles and Games

We travel north east again to visit Collectibles and Games. We wanted to welcome them to community as they recently opened their first store front at at 409 S Salisbury Ave Unit C in Granite Quarry, NC. They are CCG and vintage video game shop.

Cameron, the owner, is a dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh enthusiast who's been stoking the fires of excitement within the gaming community for the past two years through his successful e-commerce venture.

He's amassed an astonishing collection of over 70,000 cards! His passion for the game is contagious, and his dedication to delivering top-notch experiences to fellow enthusiasts is unwavering.

You can find our more about their store on Facebook

R & B Games, Cards, & Comics

Next we travel north from Charlotte to R & B Games, Cards, & Comics! They are located at 1525 Cinema Dr in Statesville, NC. R&B carries RPGs, board games, card games, Funko Pops, toys, and comics! And they have a great play area!

One thing Karen and Tuna found exciting is that they have packs of old baseball cards! (This might be a Gen X thing, but it brought back memories! Including how ugh the gum was when it was originally made. Can't imagine how it tastes after 20-30 years!)

Check out their event calendar on their Facebook page.

If you can't make it up to Statesville, you can still order from R&B! Take a look at their page.

Ssalesfish Comics

Ssalefish Comics Concord is located at 10099 Weddington Rd Suite 118 in Concord, NC. Ssalefish also has two other stores in NC. Their Winston-Salem store is located at 3232 Silas Creek Parkway Suite 20 in Winston-Salem, NC and they also have a Greensboro location at 1622 Stanley Road Suite 118 in Greensboro, NC.

Ssalefish Comics overlaps the interests of many gamers. They are primarily a comic shop, but also carry collectible toys, graphic novels and some manga publications. (Pro-tip: Schedule your visit around the Speedway's schedule. Take our word for it.)

You can find the Concord store on Facebook: and on their webpage.

FTW Games

Continuing our game store tour, we are again north of Charlotte. FTW Games is located at 112 W Broad St, Statesville in NC. FTW is located in downtown Statesville and the building they are in is AMAZING. Unlike most of our modern world, FTW has kept the original front of the building! You have to walk down the window displays to get to the door. SOOO Cool!

FTW stocks trading card games (like Pokemon and MTG), board games, RPG games, war games (like Warhammer and Star Wars), accessories for gaming (like paints) and they offer by the hour video game play! They have multiple gaming consoles set up in the store—Xbox, PS, and Nintendo Switch! We can see the video games being a huge hit with the kiddos.

Go check them out!

You can find more information and events on their Facebook page. (Tuna is very sad he missed the 40k 10th ed BBQ!)

G2K Games

Today we visit the state to our south! G2K Games - Rock Hill Galleria, SC is located at 2301 Dave Lyle Blvd #130 in Rock Hill, SC. They specialize in video games, especially vintage games and consoles and CCGs like Magic, Pokemon, and others.

But when Nick told us that they have D&D and dice, we really lit up! It's like a nice warm cup of cocoa when you visit your granny. (And we had to change this post from being about a tabletop gamer friendly store to a game store!! Yay! They even have tables set up so you can play in store!)

Their accessories are amazing too. From a D&D coffee mug to this amazing stained glass poster from the Legend of Zelda, you are bound to find something you need.

Go check them out when you wander south!

You can find their events calendar on FB.

Scott’s Collectibles

Next up we have Scott's Collectibles at 942 Cloverleaf Plaza in Kannapolis, NC.

We know there are people who like gaming AND like the sportsball. ;p (Karen is rolling to disbelieve.) Scott's Collectibles is a great spot for you! Or a great spot to get something for the geeks you love!

They buy, sell and trade sports cards and memorabilia, die cast cars, and other autographed memorabilia. They sell card CCGs, like Magic; wargames, like Star Wars and 40k; board games; and a limited selection of RPGs.

Check out what they have in stock on their Facebook page.
