Do you have a local game store?

I think rather a lot depends on the definition of local for this poll. I have four game stores near me but all are over 30 miles away.

One I would call local. It's OK, which doesn't really fit into any of your categories. But I chose 'one; excellent' anyway. The staff are nice, mostly. And their stock isn't the worst I've seen. Plus, they do go the extra mile when it comes to game days, game nights, teaching stuff to newbies, plenty of tables, etc. So yeah, I guess 'excellent' (as far as they go in general) isn't too far from the mark after all.

Well, local is a relative term. Local in nYC isn't the same as local in some provinces in Canada, for example. Some places you have to travel distances to the local grocery store, and an hour's travel might be "local."

I have an 'extremely' local game store, in that case, as it is literally at the end of the street where I live here in Dundee, in Scotland.

I said it was excellent, as they will get me anything I am looking for, I might just have to wait a little bit for it to come in. And I'm feel well disposed to them right at the moment, cause I had good fun at the D&D Gameday there today.

We have a few in Ottawa. The cream of the crop is Fandom II which has been around forever.

Two in town, but only one is any good for rpg stuff.

However, I am a longtime faithful customer for that one shop!

Several, and one is excellent (Austin). Though the excellent one doesn't carry any role playing stuff.

I voted the same way, but the game store I consider excellent (Dragon's Lair) does carry role-playing products. I also consider Rogue's Gallery excellent, but technically they're up in Round Rock.

In the greater Montreal area, there's around 5-6 gaming stores. I would say that there is 2 excellent FLGS, but one has an elitist attitude that rubs me the wrong way (even though they carry almost everything published in the US or Europe).

So even though I have excellent stores somewhat near me, I'm still choosing Amazon.ca over them. The price differences is just too much.

There are no game stores in little old Stonewall, Manitoba. Winnipeg has a number of game stores, but none have really won me over as a loyal customer...yet.

I am sure there is one near me. But I have no need for one, so I have never looked for one.
