Your gaming and hobby one stop shop.
We have an ever expanding array of card games, board games and RPGs, from the larger companies like Wizards of the Coast who make ‘Dungeons and Dragons’ and ‘Magic the Gathering’ to smaller more independent game makers.
Along side the self contained games we sell we also offer hobby supplies for your miniature based games such as ‘Warhammer’ and ‘Warmachine’. Supplies vary from paints and glue to create your models, basing materials to build a story for your group of minis and items to play the games such as dice, and can you ever have enough Dice?
Do you have a recommendation of something you’d like to see stocked here? We’re always looking to stock the kind of products you want to buy, you’re the reason we exist after all. So if you have got something in mind, submit the form below with either the brands, games or products you want to see and we’ll look into stocking it.
Why The Hodgepodge Wizard exists
I have always been involved in the hobby space from a very young age. I have collected Warhammer from the age of 8, when ‘The Hobbit: Escape from Goblin Town’ and since then I have spent more time and money than I would like to admit on it. I have been a fan of Dungeons and Dragons since 11, playing regular games to this day and running games for my friends when possible and always coming up with new stories, adventures and especially characters that will never see the light of day. Obviously this then goes in hand with a growing dice collection from cheap acrylics to the more fancy high end dice like those sold here. I have similarly been raised on board and card games, and now regularly have board game nights with mates or force my family to play the new games I have bought.
Recently I have gotten back into TCGs too. Sadly there is no fun backstory behind my decision to delve back into Pokémon cards, I loved the games as a young child and admittedly got swept up in the craze in late 2024.
From what I have seen, there has never been any sort of shop that has dedicated to these types of hobbies and games. There are obviously shops that sell trading cards, some places sell Warhammer in the area and occasionally Dungeons and Dragons will show up, but nothing that embraces the more niche corners of the market. I want to be able to offer not just easy, convenient access to market priced products, but also offer a variety of products I have never been able to find sometimes even in Manchester.
Over the last few years these markets have grown exponentially and aside from Pokémon cards the availability of these products has not improved in areas outside major cities in any real way. This is something I hope to try and help remedy.
