marknineteen - Who We Are

marknineteen gaming, LLC is a veteran-owned small business that aims to serve the interests of the tabletop gaming community of Northern Virginia through its presence in Gainesville, VA, as well as throughout the world with its world-class online retail store. No other tabletop gaming company delivers to its customers the excitement and satisfaction of a tide-changing dice roll, an edge-of-your-seat dungeon crawl, or the flip or turn of a card that seals the destiny of a battle-hardened adventurer. We aim to provide the means and capability to enjoy these tabletop games for new players and seasoned dice-rollers alike through casual and competitive play, a friendly in-store experience, and a captivating lineup of fascinating games. While in-store or online, you'll also be supporting our nation's warfighters: a portion of the store's proceeds directly benefits veterans and veteran-outreach organizations; assisting the health and well-being of those who have written that blank check to our nation.
