Nearly every type of business except for
theme parks and live concerts are allowed to open
in some capacity by the end of the month,
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Tuesday.
In his latest attempt to reinvigorate the Texas economy,
Abbott laid out dates from now through mid-June
to once again allow residents to visit
bars, bowling alleys, and attend youth sports events,
among many other activities shut down
to slow the spread of the coronavirus.
“COVID-19 still exists in Texas,” the governor said.
“Our goal is to find ways to coexist
with COVID-19 as safely as possible.

A letter From Ariel
one of our D&D Adventures League DMs
Hi,
I wanted to let everyone know about
an online gaming weekend to raise money
for Bell's Gaming Center.
They will be running games on 5/2-5/3 through Roll20.
We even have an author only module
with Amy Lynn Dzura (she is super awesome).
The entry fee is $15 for
unlimited games over the weekend
and it goes to allow Bell's
to keep their doors open
after the COVID19 restrictions are lifted.
Bells is important to me because
they raise money for extra life and
our local children's hospital.
Thank you so much everyone and
please stay safe during these crazy times.
=======================================
A message from Hailey
one of our D&D Adventures League DMs
Thank you so much for coming out
to support Bells Gaming Center!
During the COVID19 restrictions
small businesses have had
a difficult time especially our FLGS.
Bells is very near and dear to our hearts
and continues to give back to the community.
It has raised money for Extra Life
and hosts a local middle school DnD campaign.
We want our store continue to have its doors open
after the shelter at home order ends
so a bunch of DMs banded together
to raise money for the store.
This is a weekend of gaming online
and we hope you all have fun!

Charlie- One of Bell's Gamers, started a go fund me today to help keep the store alive. Yes, this is how much our community loves the store. And just one more of many ways the community shows how awesome they are.
Our business model is based on being a Community Center for people of all ages and families to gather and play table top games like Dungeons & Dragons, Board Games, and Magic:The Gathering.
The latest mandate from Williamson County limits group meetups to 10 or less. And the madate is from March 18th - May 11th.
This pretty much shuts my business model down.
For now, we have cancelled all of our events and are just open for busines to sell games, books, and cards off of the shelves.
