Message: <blockquote data-quote="Glyfair" data-source="post: 3601827" data-attributes="member: 53">I said no, but the proper answer is probably not.My local FLGS has a game club attached.  They used to charge a monthly membership fee for use (back in the 80s).  I did so at the time.Since then they have decided that the traffic it brings to the store is worth the additional rent they have to pay for it.  I believe much of that is because of the explosion of organized play (starting with MtG).  With games regularly going on, there is constant traffic of people who buy product at the store.  They also get some side traffic from parents who pick up their kids from certain games (Pokemon, etc.) since they have a sizable gift section as well.Fortunately, the freeloaders are at a minimum.  You know the sort, the ones that buy online to save money but still show up and use the store's resources.  In fact, the worst of them decry it as a right (these are CCG and miniature gamers, though).Added to the ability to run games at my apartment when I wish, I see no reason to pay for space.  If that situation were to change, I might.  Still, I don't see that happening in the near future.</blockquote>
