At its peak we probably had 15-20 people showing up regularly, and a few more that dropped in occasionally.  In the end we got too big for the store, caused to much noise and disruption and were shut down by the owner when most of the people gaming stopped buying materials from the store, choosing instead to buy from the larger store in the city which acted as a local distributor and had lower prices as a result (but they didn't provide any place to game).I continued to play with a smaller group from that store, shifting to one of the player's houses instead.</blockquote>
