Without role-playing games, the only way to be whisked off to a wondrous new land would be a signed permission slip from your magic-hating stepuncle. Easily transport yourself to new locales with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of gaming gear at The Adventurer's Guild.

The Adventurer's Guild welcomes role-playing fans with an extensive array of gaming accouterments, including cards, figurines, and miniatures. Refine an almost-perfect goblin deck with Magic the Gathering booster packs ($3.50), or stay up-to-date on rigorous dice-rolling regulations with the fourth edition Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook ($29.99). Miniature warfare ranges across the Warhammer 40,000 Battle for Black Reach boxed set ($90) and Settlers of Catan board game ($42), keeping figurines off the streets and away from the influence of bitter, discarded chess pieces. Opened 11 years ago by a group of hardcore gamers, The Adventurer's Guild also serves as a hub for local role players, providing demonstrations for inquisitive newcomers, a free gaming space, and regular group events.
