[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 5973929, member: 20741"] [URL="http://blackdiamondgames.com/index.html"]Black Diamond Games[/URL] in Concord, owned and operated by Gary Ray, a well known blogger who has presented seminars on Game retailing at GAMA and whose [URL="http://blackdiamondgames.blogspot.ca/"]blog is closely followed[/URL] by a lot of publishers, distributors and other retailers in the biz. Gary is also a regular guest on our podcast. If you are a Pathfinder fan, Black Diamond has the largest retail Pathfinder shelf in the hobby games business. Even Paizo staff who visit the Bay area sneak away to visit Black Diamond and remark that they even they don't see as much of their own product on sale at retail all at once -- and that includes Paizo's own booth at Gencon. And to be fair, Black Diamond Games also carries a lot of 3rd party Pathfinder stuff you don't normally see in stores, either. Gary will deal directly with publishers to ensure that products are on the shelf that don't have a distributor at all. Gary carries lots of other products as well of course. IFyou are a 4E fan - Black Diamond aims to carry everything available for the game that is published by WotC, and as much product for earlier editions as he can as well. Simply put, it's a full service game store. Well worth the trip. [/QUOTE]
