[QUOTE="billd91, post: 4339340, member: 3400"] I'm not sure I'd characterize my FLGS as the cradle of gaming either. But it certainly has and does expand people's views of the hobby. I know of a few people who seek out games solely by trolling around on the internet. But I know many more who notice something in the stores first and get it there. So I think the last by from TB about coming into other games is certainly true. If not the cradle, it's been a significant part of the educational system in which you learn about the existence of many other disciplines (games) and shape your ambitions. I have very fond memories of browsing through a well-stocked game store, reading the backs of products, feeling their weight, comparing with similar products, and having my eyes opened about many of the games out there. These memories date back over 20 years and continue to the present... including just yesterday. [/QUOTE]
