[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 4748683, member: 18507"] I would agree with this sentiment. In my personal experience, we use to run RPG tables at a FLGS, but they switched to price-charging model and setting up CCG tournaments so they kicked us out. Being a financial analyst, it makes perfect business sense, make all your real estate generate revenue. As a gamer, I feel like I was let down and unconcerned with that even in a FLGS, role players have a bad stigma of being unwanted dorks. A couple of other stores that I would frequent switched to the same model so that only wargames and ccgs ran on the tables, and rpgs were definitely out. Since the FLGS was no longer a place for me to go game, then there was no point in driving over there to browse through books when I can order them online at Amazon or pick up a used copy at Half.com. Again, I don't fault the owners for doing it. It doesn't make them bad people as they got to do what they can to put food on the table and keep their employees paid each week. I will go to a FLGS every once in a while to see if they have a clearance or used rpg bin, but I also do that at used bookstores and Half.com too. [/QUOTE]
