[QUOTE="justanobody, post: 4552239, member: 70778"] You just can't explain that to some though. They figure it is costing them $100 for the game books that they will have to make up over time. But this way they get some money back from all that free table-space and light being used by people that may not otherwise buy anything, or a group of 6 people that just buy one copy of the newest book. Heck my library was thinking about renting out the little rooms for conferences to make some extra money since the lights are always on anyway! They are also self-funded with little income save for late fees and computer printouts. People have told the library they would pay for a "private" room to play in when they did too! Private meaning big windows you could see through but still need to watch your volume. How can a library get it and a LGS not? The library even has a copy of the dang D&D books too! Check 'em out, and rent the room and play for an hour for $10 per group. The LGS can one-up the library idea by allowing food or drinks or even serving a gallon of tea or something. It would be like renting the PHB, DMG, MM etc and making more for a used copy than you could ever sell it for! If I win the lottery I will open up a LGS that will do these things and COMPETE with online retailers, because I haven't found an LGS yet that understand what you or I are talking about. The idea to make more money for them is raise prices, but still allow free-play. We need to start an internet wide movement to help these LGS get their acts together to not only stay in business, but to get them to understand what gamers want from an LGS. #1 CCG and RPG play areas separate.
