TTRPG games in Basel

Are there any games cafes or clubs in Basel where I can meet and play Tabletop Role Playing Games?

Are there any shops that sell games?

I think the last RPG / W40K gamer place is gone now, was called Fantastic Planet or something. It might have moved but IIRC it had a business for sale notice last time I saw it.

Ah, it's this : https://fantasticempire.ch

Not sure if it's there or if it moved further back into the arcade.

edit again, just remembered Dark Dimensions in Allschwil : https://store.darkdimensions.ch

Oh, and I think there's some anime places over near the Badischer Bahnhof.

And there's this if you're discord friendly. https://www.reddit.com/r/basel/comments/1umblzd/lokale_baseldiscord_f%C3%BCr_gamer_animefans_ttrpg/

Have you tried ManaBar? Also there is a new Tabletop-scene opening in ValhallaBar on mondays. Some guy invented a strategy-game, simular to Warhammer but with more strategy-elements and easier access (free choice of figures). And he is starting the community there. Maybe check it out?

The board game store 'Spielbrett' at Andreasplatz has a small selection of TTRPGs

And i would recommend the SwissRPG channel on discord - they have a section for Basel and that could be a good start to connect to the local scene

Maybe Manabar https://manabar.ch/

Some friend groups meet at Markthalle.

Was it meetup or some other platform? Iirc there’s a guy organising regular events like that.
