That's a problem? I grew up in a small town, where the nearest mall was an hour away, and the nearest good game store was 2 hours away, and we managed just fine. Not only did we not cry about it, we had fun and made a day trip out of it! Carload of gamers, excitedly talking about our hobby, pouring over the never-before-seen (and often, never-before-heard-of) product, buying a couple armloads, and reading over them/discussing them on the way home. It was a blast!Even now, I have a 2 hour round trip commute to work, so going 20-30 minutes away to browse games is nothing.As for the role that FLGS's have on the hobby, I'll trust the industry guys who put in market research, because their livelihood depends on knowing these things. I'm guessing their data kinda trumps ENworld polls and empirical observations by posters here.</blockquote>
