I do this by telling the story of the largest game store in the world - the Sentry Box in Calgary, Alberta, Canada!<br /><br />YouTube: https://youtu.be/ghLiFZ3EHsg<br /><br />Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diekugames/flgs<br />Garry Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17940269477840610563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-6267697474364037372011-12-15T11:34:20.615-06:002011-12-15T11:34:20.615-06:00No specific date yet, I just made the decision thi...No specific date yet, I just made the decision this week to go ahead and run the thing.

Games Plus is a model that other stores would do well to follow. I run a regular game in their RPG room, play most years in war gaming campaigns run there for six to eight month stretches, and make sure to do the bulk of my gamer shopping there. And, as said, their auctions are great!<br /><br />All the Best,<br />Mark Clover<br />CreativeMountainGames.comMark CMG Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00160691331267309851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-71402116514361225022011-12-07T08:39:32.063-06:002011-12-07T08:39:32.063-06:00*chuckle*

I picked up a copy of a game for my spouse, ordered a game for my son, and picked up a set of dice for one of the dice-challenged players.<br /><br />I've been going there for since 1990 or 1991 or so - though there was a couple of years in the late 90's when I worked for the competition (which has since gone out of business) and didn't visit very often.<br /><br />D.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
