Probably the main thing that gets me to come in is to have the book before the release date by being and DnD preferred store or whatever it is. I do not have a local gaming store - only a book store - but I would find having the DnD Encounters very interesting. If you want it to be a place that people play you will want to have food of sorts available. I know most will want soda and chips and so on, but I would also try to have some protein bars, fruits, etc to attempt to pull them into healthier eating. Having someone run long term campaigns as well is always a good thing. I play 4E and Dark Sun, but having people that will be willing to run a small campaign, or even one shots in other systems so people can try things out would be cool. Some people get a hankering for Shadowrun and just want to sate their appetites, or perhaps want to try it for the first time. A one shot game to introduce people to it may get you some sales. If I were in the are I might be convinced to come down and give a game a try for something that sounded interesting, especially if I knew that this was also aimed an people looking to try the system. The 4 Colors superheroes system is one that I was really interested in trying or the other one that was by the same company, I think, that had a fluid magic system too. There are others.You may also want to keep track of some gaming stats for things like the most kills in one combat at a given level by a party or by a single pc. The most damage done to a single target in one turn or by one player, or party. Perhaps have several different games being run of the same campaign or module and track the stats for that. Stats like that might be interesting and may bring about a competitive atmosphere and bring more people in to play....SurveyI am in Wisconsin, so I am not your target demographic per se, but you guys may want to consider setting up a survey via Survey Monkey (surveymonkey.com) and get the specific feedback and remember to include an other field.Perhaps with that you will get a lot of us to fill it out. Your results might not be specific to gamers in your area, but will most likely be representative of gamers (on ENWorld and who are willing to fill out surveys) on a whole.Just a thought...Good luck!</blockquote>
