I think I might be seeing the end of the RPG shop concept in this area?

Hell, I might as well ask if D&D is pretty much done as a business.

Around my neck of the woods, I'd have to say yes.

I haven't really been out "making the rounds" of the FLGS of late, but I had the day off today and thought I'd just go out and browse.

Most D&D/D20 stuff I saw was massively discounted. I grabbed quite a bit of it.

• Waterdeep Hardcover: 5 bucks
  
• Complete Arcane: 6 bucks
  
• Expanded Psionics Handbook: 4 bucks
  
• Fiend Folio: 4 bucks
  
• Complete Divine: 5 bucks
  
• Sorcery and Steam: 4 bucks
  
• Sovereign Stone: 3 bucks
  
• Aberrant: 3 bucks
  
• Star Trek-The Roleplaying Game: 4 bucks

And these weren't all at one store having a sale or anything. These are from three seperate stores in the area.

They are still doing great on CCG, Collectible Figures and Comics...but it looks like Tabletop RPG's aren't selling to well.

Damn, why can't RPGs fail like that around here!!

Were they used or new?

New, but in the Bargain Bins

Clearing out old stock in preparation for stocking up on new stuff for the holidays?

Hmm...maybe.

I don't know enough about retail I guess.

I do know that i wish Iron Kingdoms: Five Fingers-Port of Deceit was being cleared out for Christmas

At least you have three FLGS near you. I feel lucky to have one.

I have six...I only made it to three of them

 

[LostSoul]

Wow man, nice haul!

At those prices, I would definitely pick up Complete Arcane, the Fiend Folio and, maybe, Complete Divine.
