[QUOTE="PJ-Mason, post: 2390766, member: 12285"] My LGS is not worth the time or effort for rgpers. Its great for the throng of minature, MTG, and Pokemon enthusiasts. But when it comes to questions about game books or even comics they have apprently settled for a universal "Uh...that'll probably be in on Tuesday, maybe Friday", response to hide the fact that they have no idea what i am talking about and could really care less. They have a decent selection of D&D books and a crap shoot of a selection of other game companies, but none their employees know [I]anything[/I] about rpgs and don't see the need. Its strangely funny how such ambivelance is [I]worse[/I] than even poor or rude service, let me tell you. It didn't use to be that way, but the store owner saw how much the minatures and card games was raking in and threw rpgs and comics (to a lesser extent) to the back burner. Which is fine...because it was a busniess decision. cool beans. So i really am not interested in supporting a store's business who has no interest in supporting my hobby. Not that it matters because he won't be going out of business anytime soon. So i happily buy from online stores like FRP Games and Amazon, get a discount, and have it sent straight to me. That also allows me more time to surf my favorite messages boards, just so that i can get called all kinds of names and be compared to Pavlov's Dog because i don't spend my money on some moral imperative of serving the interests of those who only see me as some damn dollar sign in the first place. :) [/QUOTE]
