[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 4338153, member: 49613"] [COLOR=White][/COLOR] [COLOR=White]I'm glad to hear it. The only LGS in my area that I have much interest in browsing (for role playing games; I have an excellent historicals wargaming store to which my general complaints do not apply) has a nice little used section where out of print stuff is displayed and priced reasonably. That's a store I would go out of my way to visit, just to buy moderately used old school stuff for cheap. I think a good game shop should have a dress/odor code. I'm not a fashion plate or anything... I'm a pudgy thirtysomething with long hair and a beard (Viking heritage, man). But I shower at least once a day and I always wear a shirt that completely covers my powerful [i]hara[/i]. As delightful as it may be to have a plump [i]hara[/i], I keep mine to myself and expect others to do the same. Cute girls may have exposed midriffs if they like, but fat guys need to wear a proper shirt. When I see a big dude with his belly hanging down past his undersized geekshirt I want to claw out my eyes. And with all the cheaply-available water and chemical hygiene goops available in our culture, nobody has any justification for public stinkery unless they just came in off a construction site. Thus, there should be a dress/odor code. While I'm offering these helpful suggestions (which you probably already implement, because it does sound like you have a good shop), decor is important. White, dirty walls with ancient, faded posters and haphazardly-displayed dusty product make for a depressing environment. A store should look nice, smell good and have a pleasant atmosphere.
