I'm 35 and when I was 32, I didn't own a game store and totally agree with you. But I still managed to support my game store. How? I'd buy one RPG book every two months instead of every month. There are different ways to budget money. Well, then they don't sound like very nice game stores...

I seem to recall several things retailers are doing to try and win back customers like offering free game space or minor discounts. What do I provide? I provide a clean and organized game store decorated with cool swords that can be purchased :D I have sodas and snacks for sale for $.50...

From a game store owner and a gamer I’ve debated on chiming in or not, but since Gary did, I guess I will. I’ve been an RPGer since 1983. I had fanciful dreams of some day being able to open my own game store and make a living at it. When I got laid off from my engineering job in 2003, I...

Something interesting I've noticed in my small gamingverse is that it seems more and more people are beginning to move away from PC games to pen and paper games. This is what I've seen...a kid comes in my store looking for a video game, and doesn't find one. But he is intrigued by what he does...

Stuff Just a few things I thought I'd mention here. But I'm now posting info on the NorCal boards. I now have pictures of GK on the web site if you're interested. They are only of the retail area though. The back gaming area is not complete enough for me to want pictures of it on the web...

Pictures! Just resurrecting the thread to mention that there are pictures of the retail area of my new store on the web site. There is a back gaming area that has a medieval theme to it. It's not finished enough for me to want pictures posted of it yet. But will soon enough...

Well, the way I see it, sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. And KoK reflects that. For instance, the dwarves of Iron Top have been at war, peace, and political, economic connections with the humans of Kalamar to the west of their mountain home. Currently, Kalamar has invated and...

Deleting double post

Granted, it's not their job. But, since WotC announced KoK as the third official D&D setting, I personally thought it should be mentioned at least sometimes by them besides the initial press release. When it comes to KoK, Kenzer&Co is like a division of WotC, creating products for the their...

Bashing of FR(?) I could very well be considered one of the FR bashers, though I don't think I ever bashed it with phrases such as "FR sucks" and the like. But I have expressed what I didn't like about FR and that probably read as "FR sucks" to FR fans. I am an old time fan of Greyhawk, and...

GameDay II listed on Gamer's Keepe website! Hey all, I've updated the Gamer's Keepe web site with this event!

Sounds like a plan to me!

Store hours for Gamer's Keepe Currently, the store hours are Mon-Sat, 11am-7pm. With gaming hours lasting after store hours as requested. The Grand Opening is tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday the 28th-29th! Although, I wasn't able to get everything done I wanted to, nor all the products I...

Gamer's Keepe is now open! Just a quick note to say that Gamer's Keepe is now open! The Grand Opening is this Friday and Saturday (Nov. 28th-29th). The location is 3075 Alamo Dr., Vacaville, CA 95687. And the phone number is (707) 446-9867. If you're in the Vacaville/Fairfield (or even...

All is cool with me! When ever you guys want to come by and game, just let me know! I have *plenty* of space to game! Send an e-mail to <brad@gamerskeepe.com>. As to being a HackMinion, not me. I'm a KoKer. My store will definitely be a source for all things Kenzer&Co, so just keep that in...

Well, I just found out that a buddy of mine has gotten back from the war and his wife is hosting a "coming home" party on the 22nd. Talk about timing! The party is at 4pm and so if y'all wanted to get together for a night game, it could still work to have a game day at my store. As for the...

OMG! Whoops! Not quite LOL :D Thanks everyone for the well wishing and congrats! :)

I'd love to host a game day! Hey fellow NorCal gamers! I'm about to open my own game store in Vacaville, CA and I would be more than happy to host a game day! I just posted an announcement here. I would be *really* cool if it could be done on the Grand Opening :D

(I apologize if this is not an appropriate post) After getting laid from my engineering job in August, I've pursued the opportunity to open my very own game store. And I've done it! My wife and I are now owners of "Gamer's Keepe" in Vacaville, CA. I just wanted to send out a post to any and...

Well, it plays no differently than standard D&D. It's a core setting that goes through a pre-approval process by WotC. The setting does have a higher emphasis on inter-racial relations and inter-nation relations. So the characters don't only have to worry about finding their next adventure...
