Where do you game?

[jinx crossbow]

Are there realy LGS outside where you can play RPGs?
Im my LGS there are just TCG and Tabletop playdays.

This might be a german thing, becaus I cant remember a
LGS in any city Ive been where the people met to play.

Another little Question: what stands the F in FLGS for?
Freaky? Flashy? Funny?
I cant imagine.

My FLGS does RPGs as well as Tabletop, Warhammer etc. so, at least around here they do play RPGs.

I don't game there becasue I don't feel comfotable with many of the people who play there. I have a problem with people who have serious hygiene issues, and since my kids were born, I have a real dislike for profanity and the seriously off-color discussions that seem to be common at the FLGS (at least I notice it a lot while I'm there browsing the shelves). I prefer gaming with good friends in my or one of their homes.

And the "F" stands for Favorite - I just found that out from another thread recently.

Oh, can the guys from the LGS be friendly
I will ask them for.

This sound very good.
But the only LGS is allways your FLGS?

I* "recently" played at a LGS once. My nephews, their cousins, and a friend had asked me to DM for them when they learned that I played D&D growing up. I was 33 (now 35). They were ranged in age from 10 to 13 at the time. I suggested we play at the local gaming store.

When we got there and found some table space and set up. Over the next two hours, I watched the looks on their faces as they saw other people in the store, heard the other players pontificating endlessly about this game or that, and noticed the direct relationship between volume of voice and volume of speaker mass.

In essence, my nephews and their friends were able to say with their faces what I had always tried to keep hidden: local gaming stores and their general inhabitants are stereotypically social rejects. Dork Tower may be a comic, but it is a dead-on one. The Dead Alewives D&D skit may have been a spoof, but it is a spoof that far too closely reflects reality.

Advice to those who play at local gaming stores: deoderant, fashion advice, Clearasil, and Atkins.

Where do we game?

Why, right here, of course.

I don't think I've ever, in nearly 25 years, played at a store. I have seen it, occasionally, but usually they don't have the space to accomdate such activities. Further, with 2 little ones running around underfoot, going to a FLGS would be impractical.

Besides, we have much better snacks.

I mean, priorities, fellas...priorities.

I only play PbP games... so I'm a big other.

I don't even have an FLGS.

My main group always plays at someones house, but I have on occasion played at both of the LGS in my town, although not recently. When I first moved here I played with a group that met at one store, because the DM was one of the managers, and we met right after the store closed. At the other store, I ran a couple of short (4-5 session) games for the owner and a few of his friends. But other than that, it's almost always at someones house.
