[QUOTE="On Puget Sound, post: 5348290, member: 68988"] My local store (Above Board Games, Ft Mill SC - awesome folks!) runs a monthly late-night session - 10 PM to 2 AM - which they charge for. Friday Night Magic costs $5, but you get at least one booster pack for playing, and more if you place well. All the entry fees end up in the prize pool as cards. Encounters, Game Days and other sanctioned events are free. ] Large regular groups have a $5 table fee per person, BUT... that fee goes into a group account, and the GM can spend that as he or she wishes, on anything in the shop. In theory the GM could just augment his/her own game collection, but in practice it's more democratic. We end up getting minis, dice, player mats, dungeon tiles or helping a new player with the basic books or a setting book. (I haven't asked if it's useable for snacks). The table fee is frequently waived for people who spend money regularly anyway, and as GM I'm willing to cover any of my players for whom it might be an issue (one is newly unemployed), since it's sort of my money anyway.
