[QUOTE="Ash Mantle, post: 7818048, member: 11010"] I remember reading about Wizards Play stores a while back, but back when it was advertised in Dragon magazine these were stores where you didn't just play Magic but you could also play roleplaying and board games, and I believe PC games as well. I remember the image they used had tables set aside for roleplaying and board games, as well as terminals for PC games. I think these stores also doubled as a LFGS, where you could buy supplements, and boardgames. It'd be excellent if Wizards could partner with the brick-and-mortar LFGS and revive their Play stores, ideally these brick-and-mortar LFGS would remain independent but also receive investment and incentives from Wizards, and ideally from other RPG companies. Wizards could discount their books and other products further for these stores, offering similar discounts to Amazon. Ideally with this they could create more gaming spaces for people, incentivising people to visit and play in their game stores as well as spending money, and as a consequence may increase profits for the stores as well, and move the focus back to the stores and away from Amazon.
