Message: <blockquote data-quote="Glyfair" data-source="post: 5094700" data-attributes="member: 53">I have to FLGS in my area now.  The main one, <a href="http://www.daysofknights" target="_blank">The Days of Knights</a>, has been in business since Thanksgiving '81.  I have been friends with most of the people responsible for getting it started since before it opened, some later.  The other was a book store, Between Books has been in business longer, but is less focused on gaming.I have found my stores to be invaluable.  The owner of Between Books is one of the most gregious game store owners I have ever met.  His store is a mix of book store (with heavy emphasis on science fiction and fantasy), comic book store, new age store and game store.  There is a smallish gaming area in the rear with room for about 2 rpg tables at a time (3 if you don't have personal space issues).  The disadvantage is that the game area is pretty much limited to store hours, which can be limiting (no chance for a real RPG on weekday, unless the owner stays late).The Days of Knights is much better for actual gaming.  They have moved several times during the years.  It seemed every year they were moving within the mini-mall they started at in the beginning.  They have always had gaming space available.  After one move within the mall they kept the old area and used it as a gaming club.  They allowed gaming at all hours (quite a number of trusted people had keys to keep things open and an eye in things) and several times I played from noon to morning of the next day (with breaks in between).  Much better than contacting people and trusting unknown people into your homes (especially with the large number of college students with limited space).Even now they have a separate gaming area.  They have taken over a garage adjacent of their store and use that as the gaming club.  It has it's disdvantages (it still was a garage and their are side issues).  Still, they actively support all sorts of games from CCGs (Friday night Magic takes up all but a small private area every week), miniature games, board games and RPGs.  Indeed, last time I spoke to the owner he was looking for DMs for weekday 4E games.  Apparently he has a huge number of players interested, but not enough DMs willing to run those games.</blockquote>
