When Imagination Fights Back
You can’t sue an idea. You can only chase the people who believe in it. This is not the story of piracy — it’s the story of participation. In garages and spare rooms, printers hum like small rebellions as fans reshape the worlds they love. The community isn’t a market anymore. It’s a forge.
Plastic has become data. Imagination has escaped the vault. As Games Workshop sues independent 3D artists like Ghamak, a new creative rebellion rises — one that asks who truly owns a world once it inspires millions to build their own. The Machine God provides, but the forge now belongs to everyone.

People Are Playing Across the Spectrum One of the strongest trends we’ve seen this year is the shift from single-focus players to hobby explorers. Someone might play Lorcana on Saturday, then join a Kill Team league on Wednesday and GM a cyberpunk RPG the following Tuesday. Players aren’t sticking to lanes. They’re following curiosity. That’s why our weekly schedule is designed to support mixed interests. We’re here for card sharks, lore-lovers, mini painters, and board game socialites. And especially those who are a bit of each.
The world of tabletop gaming is shifting again. Not just with new releases, but in how people gather, what they play, and what they’re really looking for at the table. At Games Haven, we see it happening up close every week. Across roleplay nights, skirmish sessions, trading card meetups and weekend events, we’re watching the community reshape itself in real time. Here’s a closer look at what’s changing, and how we’re building around it.
