Work With Wolf Den Games

Employment

Can we be very honest? Friendly Local Game Stores of our size are never going to generate many job openings. And yes, if you are deep in the tabletop hobby you might think of our shop as a “dream job”! We are flattered, and we get it.

But. It isn’t a career path.

The best we can do for the vast majority of interested folks is very part time work. Our pay is competitive, our employment practices are progressive and humane, but you are applying for a small side gig at best.

After all that dampening of your spirits, if doing seasonal retail work or professional GM-ing interests you, look below!

Local Artisans and Vendors

We love to support and feature the work of local makers!

If you live near Abingdon, VA and create tabletop-gaming adjacent content or goods, please get in touch with us by clicking here to email! We would love to partner with you.

The best thing to do is schedule a time to meet with an owner to show off your stuff in person.

Here are examples of some of the goods we already sell.

  • Board Games by local independent designers

  • Knit and Leather Dice Bags

  • Fine Art Dice Sets

  • Original design 3D-printed tokens and dice towers

We do not use consignment, preferring to simply buy from you at wholesale.
