In my opinion, sales being the primary goal is part of the problem with a lot of games. It stifles the creativity. While yes, sales would be wonderful, we're not fooling ourselves into thinking we're going to create the next D&D or Pathfinder and quit our day jobs. We're more interested in...

I think we may end up creating our own. We've seen many different systems (I've been gaming for over 30 years) and haven't really found one that fits the way we want things to work. We're in the early stages of discussion right now and hope to have more details soon. I'll circle back with...

These are very interesting responses. I ask because a friend and I have some ideas for a game and were trying to decide on whether to use a current system or create a new one. We have some ideas for a new system that would focus more on RP than on crunch and also try to make things as easy for...

I'm just curious to see how people feel about new systems. Are you less likely to try a new game if it's a system you aren't familiar with?

I hadn't played it before this article was posted. I decided I'd log on a give it a try. I thought, "It can't be THAT bad." I was wrong. It can. If this new company is planning on getting it just to use the Pathfinder name and world, then great. The way Golarion is divided up, it's perfect...

Just need 3 more responses to close out the survey! Thanks again everyone!

Interesting point, but I would put it under story driven.

The poll has gone too far now for me to add new questions (plus it's limited to 10 anyway). Perhaps on the next one. 82 of 100 possible responses so far! I really appreciate the help from those who have taken the survey.

I'm sorry to hear that, Laprade. I've been in that situation before, wanting to play but unable to do so. I usually watch Conan the Barbarian or Beastmaster :D

Thanks for the tips, I went back and edited some of the answers. I appreciate the feedback!!

RPG Preferences Survey Quick, easy poll. I'd really appreciate it if the ENWorld community could help me out in a little research I'm doing about gaming and gamers. I may post another poll or two in the future since Surveymonkey only allows 10 questions per poll unless you pay $$ :-)

The current idea is to be a cafe with a gaming store, so we would intend to be the primary source of food.

Sorry, nowhere near Toronto. It would be in Kentucky in the US.

We don't have a space yet. Right now we're just getting ideas and exploring the possibility of opening such a place.

Wow! I never expected the thread to go four pages. Again, I thank all of you for some very insightful suggestions and for bringing up some points we had not considered. Tournaments/league play is clearly a huge deal. If this gets off the ground, that will certainly be a central part of what...

I'm loving the suggestions, everyone. Very helpful stuff. The lockers is a great idea. I had the same thought yesterday at one of my local stores when I watched one of the guys packing up with Heroclix in a huge satchel. I turned to my buddy and just said, "Rental lockers...we need rental...

Alcohol is a big "no" for two reasons. 1. You may be a responsible drinker, but there are plenty of people who aren't, and I don't want to deal with them in our store. One bad incident with someone could result in a huge loss of business. Also, many people in the store would be under 21, and...

Some great input so far. The free Wi-Fi was something we had already planned on. Keeping the catalogs right at the checkout is a great idea. Keep the thoughts coming! This is great information for us. What games do you think are the most important to carry right now?

Calling all gamers... A friend and I are exploring the possibility of opening a "gamer's cafe" in our area. Essentially, it would have a small storefront carrying a few common items (D&D, Pathfinder, Warhammer, Reaper minis, etc), a gaming area with sufficient space for 4 or so tabletop...
