Thondor, I'd be happy with any information you'd be willing to share. I appreciate anything you can tell me. The "destination store" thing is something John and I have been arguing ever since he first broached the subject to me. I have said, much as you did, that comic and game stores are the...

Danny: I got that you weren't suggesting we do a food truck; I was just giving a little too much info to point out that we don't have many (any, really, as the two in operation only go to two places). I should have been clearer. I checked out the gaming tavern linked earlier in the thread...

We can have vending machines, and hot dog rotisseries and the like, but not a lot else. Even our food trucks have to have halon systems, commercially approved grills, vents, and the layout has the same clearance requirements as regular restaurants. I'll try to run some food related numbers...

Thanks alot for all the information guys. I've compiled all of the information he asked for, as well as all the suggestion here. I'm going to go over it with John tomorrow, but if anyone is interested, it doesn't look good. Without going into protect information, the store would need (in my...

Sounds very interesting. I'll be sure to tell him about it.

Danny, could you tell me more about this? I can honestly say I've never seen this, and I'm curious as to how it works in practice. Do people come in to a function store and order products to be shipped to their homes from that same store? Or is it a pulling service?

Thanks to everyone who has comment so far. To tell you the truth, Jester, I hadn't really thought the floor people in those terms. Obviously, I know that customer service is important, but the concept of personality really hadn't occurred to me to be something mention or recommend. As...

Hello. I have an acquaintance who is a sort of serial entrepreneur, and he has asked me to do some research into the possibility of opening a game store which would deal in board games and RPGs. I have already explained to him that the vast majority of such enterprises fail, that the margins are...

Out of game: I once tried to setup this whole dinner party thing around the original Dragonlance Chronicles. The problem: nothing lined up, and it is really hard to cook and DM at the same time. Nothing lined up with the story, things were burnt or borked in some other way, and I vowed to never...

I am interested to see how this goes. I play 3.5, but I regularly use 2e settings as well as 4e modules which I have converted to my system of choice. If there were enough new things in this book to warrant it, I'd buy it with or without 4e mechanics (as with I did with the dungeon guide and...

It could be more then customer watching or boredom. A former employer of mine forced me to go to a small business customer service training event once (sounds more important then it was, as it was hosted at our local civic center). Anyway, this particular group of three trainers felt that...

You found more of them then I did :). I'll have to check some of those out. I wasn't so much thinking of a vtt all the time. What i am picturing in my head is a little akin to the way The Gamers was shot. During the game, record the table with like a round table setup or individual hd webcams...

The live dnd from PAX is pretty much the most popular video session, but of course there is only one of those. There are a few more on youtube, but nothing regular. If you do try to do a video podcast, I'd suggest using a vtt to supply illustration of actions (unless you game with scale maps...

I find myself in an odd situation with this topic. On the one hand, I don't believe in complaining about the price of a vendor's wares (and when you shop online, shipping is part of that cost). Nothing against those that do, but in my world view I assume that they have a reason for charging what...

While I know you were speaking to Elf Witch, Vyvyan, my answer to your question would be that I don't think they can. I don't think that you can have D&D, and offer all of the content that is part and parcel to the game, and the customization, without still forcing a level of DM control on...

My players are learning, but they still make stupid mistakes. I consider it to be my fault. We played Epic Level for a little two long. Now that we're back at 1st, they've got to learn all over again. I explain to them what it is, how many there are, and ask them if they are sure they want to...

It's worthy of discussion if it's a problem for some of our number, but I think we need to change the manner in which we discuss it. Invariably, those who feel it's a glitch blame the system, while those of us who don't have that problem feel that it must be something particular to that group...

We play a lot of different games, but we generally play older games and nearly no indie games. Modern Games We Play Besides D&D: All Flesh Must Be Eaten --God help me, I love this game, even if it is a TPK factory. Gumshoe System (Mainly The Esoterrorists) by Pelgrane Press. I highly...

Sorry that it has taken me so long to respond, but I've been busy IRL. Derren: I don't expect or want the peasants to want to help them in the beginning. The PCs are all members of persecuted races; elves, dwarves (whose status is complicated), or people who would be opposed to the State (the...

Morrus: I'll have to take a deeper look at the WtBS. I remember reading either a preview or a review a while back, but was hip deep in another campaign and didn't give it much thought. Derren: Well, it's a lawful evil monarchy, and not everyone is alright. As with the LE alignment, as long as...
