For you, unless you're working a retail job or something, then bite the bullet (if you're actually serious about getting a group together) and sub for a month or two. Great thing about Meetup is when you first start-up, they push you to everyone in the area who's noted down the same interests you've categorised the meetup for: make sure you max out the interests list, create a first meetup on there with a concise and friendly description of your intended game and where you're hosting (include an address) and have a catchy, simple title. You will defo not need the Unlimited unless you're where I'm at now with running my club. So go do it, you'll thank yourself later down the line.Awesome!This is a great little story. I'd add that for those reading this story, do make sure you have some people skills/sales ability. Otherwise, you'll just scare off store owners who are just trying to offlift nerd merch onto people walking in the door. If it works out, don't be afraid to get more aggressive with it and ask for dedicated space and schedule a regular time you'll do a game for them (again, make sure you've got some points/dots in Diplomacy/Persuasion/Negotiation here!) because that can potentially mean they can stock RPG stuff (at least D&D/Pathfinder if not FFG/Catalyst swag) and get other types in the stores -- and it can't hurt to have a busier store, too!</blockquote>
