What would you like to see more in RPG stores?

Multiple choices are allowed.

 

[Crothian]

Customers that were not offesnive, employewes that seemed to care about the customers and have a workable knowledge of RPGs.

i shall second everything Crothian said, plus: hot single natural redheaded women who dig bearded trekkies

oh and shrink wrapped books, i dont like buying copies people have thumbed through (but they should still have a show copy to thumb through)

 

[devilbat]

How about all of the above. Ok, I know it's not realistic. The logistics of bringing in everything that's available would require very deep pockets, and probably a lack of a good business sense, but one can wish.

I'll aslo agree with Crothian. My biggest wish, however, would be to HAVE a gaming store nearby. One that was 30 miles away closed in the early nineties. Another new one opened just 15 miles away in 2000, and closed last year. (Can't really blame them, they got flooded out!) Even those two only carried a small rack of RPG products, with most of the store catering to modeling and train enthusiasts (the first) or comic books and card games (the second). I buy all my stuff through the internet, or at Origins this year.

I voted for mor D20 material across the board, especially OOP material. However, my FLGS does a pretty good job of stocking the games I play, so I have no real complaints there. My true wish would be that they would quit selling CCG's, so that the obnoxious little kiddies that have no interest in RPG's except to giggle at the guys that play them (just for the sake they play RPG's instead of CCG's, not because of any physical factor) would be gone. Since that can't be done, I would like a store that's big enough that I don't have to get said kiddies to get out of my way when they are sitting at the table located right in front of the Reaper and Rackham minis!!!

(huff huff)

Beyond that, my FLGS does a great job of keeping me happy.

I'm not too crazy about variant OGL books that are one offs or different enough from the core books not to be able to use them right away. For example, it looks like World of Warcraft, like Arcana evolved, are pretty easy to slot into D&D. Conan, Lone Wolf, and some others on the other hand, are not.

One of my biggest problems with Guardians of Order's d20 games is that it's rare that they fit into the regular game system and most don't work with each other.
