[QUOTE="GVDammerung, post: 2402999, member: 33060"] Similar experience. Different outcome. For me it was a scavenger hunt for the 1st GH map issue. Then, I just special ordered from the Source. Had them within a week of when Paizo said they had shipped to subscribers. I thought that outstanding service. At the time, the Source was not carrying Paizo products because of the ad circulars and the Paizo web store, I asked Beryl, the manager. Since that time, they have started carrying Paizo products again. To each their own, but the Source is the finest game store I have even shopped. Practically full line of game products. Special orders as necessary but rarely over a week until delivery. Discount (10% w/ card) on both in store and special orders. Knowledgeable staff. Very friendly, my wife and I are greeted by name (but then we're in there every week). No hasseles if, after an hour brousing, we buy nothing - and that happens sometimes for 3 weeks in a row or so. Staff will even commiserate that "its a slow week/month for new releases." Two game sales every year with HUGE discounts, one of which is the store birthday party with cake, drinks, hotdogs etc. plus prize drawings - all FREE. Special events - 30th D&D featured some guy named Monte Cook (nice guy, even if I don't buy everything with his name on it just because it has his name on it), another guy named Dave Arneson (another nice guy) has also been featured and MAR Barker (didn't meet him), if memory serves. Regular tournaments for practically everything. Game space. Also sells comics, anime, some fiction and fantasy books, SF/Fantasy videos. Won't tell you your business but you might consider giving the Source another chance. I support the Source because it offers a social dynamic for gamers to interact with gamers face to face, in my area (Twin Cities Metro), on a daily/weekly basis. I do not game in the store as a general rule, as I prefer a quieter atmosphere in which to DM. When a game store like the Source goes the extra mile that is worth something to me and I will pay more by shopping there than I could buying from Amazon etc. Its all about what you want and what you get for your dollar.
