[QUOTE="catsclaw227, post: 5131079, member: 14197"] Even though it's just anecdotal, this is something I agree with. Our local FLGS has been readily and enthusiastically supporting 4e since its release and the store has done well as a result. It's also clean, has a friendly staff and participates in many, many Game Days and MtG tourneys, as well as Pokemon (I think) and Yu-Gi-Oh days. They also have board game night and supports mini wargaming with Warhammer, WarMachine, etc... They aren't on any side of the edition war either, stocking lots of Pathfinder and supporting Pathfinder Society organized play along side LFR. These are the reasons they are doing well. They GET IT. They need to be active participants in the hobby, not just passive retails of RPG content. The third quote in the OP sounded a lot like sour grapes to me as well. "You mean that I should host these stupid game days to get a leg up on the competition?"* Yes! Duh! [SIZE="1"]* Not a real quote, a paraphrased example.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
