I'm afraid I can't cite examples, but pretty much everyone I've heard tells how their parents bought them their first boxed set, or their teachers recommended it, or their friends played it, or some such thing. None of those things involve an FLGS.I can see the demo one, but how do the others require an FLGS?Which hobbies?I don't know. But you have a good point about specialty online stores suffering the same effects. I don't know how that would work. I suppose if not many people bought the more popular books (the ones that the massive discounters sell) from them then they would stock fewer and focus on the small RPGs that the massive discounters don't sell. I don't know if that would work. I doubt it would for a bricks-and-mortar FLGS, but the requirements of an online store are very different.People still aren't telling me why the FLGSs are necessary to expose new people to tabletop RPGs. Am I to be left in the dark forever?</blockquote>
