Man this was an awesome time to sit and talk to these two. In this episode Lee, Cody, Aaron, and Josh had the fantastic opportunity to sit down with Lynn and Bob Bartels, the owners and operators of The Guardtower West and The Guardtower East in Columbus, Ohio; a massive and welcoming pair of Friendly Local Game Stores.

These two have an impressive amount of history in gaming. From humble beginnings laminating maps for Gygax and Arnisen to now fostering and nurturing a brilliant gaming community in one of the largest cities in Ohio, and also being philanthropists, artists, business minded, and just generally darn good people, there's really not much we think they can't do. We really appreciated getting to hear their experiences and all of the great things they are bringing to their gaming communities, and we think you're going to love it too.
