Our Game Store Just Got A Drive-Through Window

Luckily, the only table that got hit was the one with no game at it...

Everybody else made their Acrobatics / Athletics checks.

Wow! Is that what happens when people use the Deck of Many Things?

"Wait, there's no Ride skill in 4th edition? Uh...UH...I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING! WAAAAA!!!" KRSH

I hope he checked to see if they held the onions before he drove away, because I don't think you want him to come back and complain!

I bet it was two friends arguing about how one likes 4e better and the other likes 3e better. And the edition war got out of hand and they didn't realize they arrived at the shop until it was too late.

Hmmm. Someone was apparently over-eager to play Car Wars.

All I could think of was:

Passenger: "So, what do you do?"

Driver: "I CHARGE!"

Don't D&D and drive.

What happened? Was it a DUI?

No. Just incredibly bad parking, then bounced off a huge tree and through the window. (I blame the tree; as if blocking the store's marquee wasn't enough. I think it was transplanted from the set of Poltergeist, being as close to Hollywood as we are...)

You can see below it took out a the window and door (which in turn almost took out a D&D player), plus a display case and the only game table without no game running.

As for Car Wars, actually I think somebody suggested playing Formula D at the Game Day tomorrow to commemorate the new drive-thru window.

Hey! This is actually MY local game store, and I say Boo to the drive-through window!

Also, I will repeat what I said on my Facebook page: the woman driving that car must be stopped! We shall send our level 18 nerds out to destroy her!!

(That place can get PACKED at times, with every single table teeming with multiple people -- it is truly amazing no one was injured.)

Wow. Glad no one was hurt.

I hope insurance covers most of the property damage from the shop. I hate to see good game shops go out of business.

It does seem unusual for a sedan to jump a curb, though. You frequently see trucks and SUVs jump curbs, but they are much higher off the ground.
