[QUOTE="djotaku, post: 9819753, member: 7054471"] The one by me, Games and Stuff, is MASSIVE. The floor is about the size of best buy. The whole of one wall is TTRPGs. Of course, like any FLGS, the selection is random. They had the monster book for Draw Steel, but not the heroes book. They had ONE copy of Nimble 5e. They had a bunch of Tales of the Valiant - some regular and some special edition. MOST of the floor is boardgames (which probably make them way more money) and the back of the store is for CCGs. They have a HUGE second room that has long rows of long tables for stuff like Pathfinder Society and whatever things they're running (the calendar is packed!) There are also 2 rooms that can be rented at very decent prices. They also have some Beadle and Grimms items like their special dice (but only 2 classes) and their class-based dry-erase board. Also 4 tables set up in the middle of the floor to demo various games. All in all, it's how I used to feel going into Toys R Us as a kid - AWESOME and full of stuff to discover! But if you want something specific, I would check their website first and maybe even order it to pick up there. (Then do some extra browsing while you're there) Also, tangentially on topic, am I the only one who feels conflicted between buying directly from the publisher (WotC, Paizo, Kobold Press, etc) and the FLGS? FLGS needs purchases to stay in business and provide space for the D&D Adventurers Guild and Pathfinder Society, but buying directly from Publisher (the people ACTUALLY making the content for the games we love) [I]should[/I] leave more money in their pockets, right?
