Ah, hyperbole! But I get your point. I've never played at an FLGS, so this will be a new thing for me (and about half my group). One of my guys is an MMA fighter and another is always covertly armed in some fashion, so if the table next to us gives us any hassle, I think it can resolved by "aggressive" negotiations....lol
I don't think we'll have too much trouble. This is a fairly large place with lots of tables, so there should be room for everyone to have some space.
I hope.

...horror story...
Yowsers! Except for the people trying to invite themselves into my game after the store repealed the open game policy (which I shut down immediately) and the occasional loudness from the MtG players (who, in there defense, will turn down music if asked) I've never dealt with that level of rudeness at the FLGS.

4) Furries. You have not experienced maximum embarrassment for another person until you've seen someone in an argument begin to bark at the other person.
Seriously, what?
I wish someone would do that to me in an argument.
I don't know what I'd do - but something like that would be a conversation stopper, well me saying something politic like 'f### off' immediately after would probably bring the debate to an abrupt halt.
This makes me HAPPY there is no FLGS to game at :P
Hmmmm I still think I like my reply better, it says all that in only seven letters - enough for their 2Int Animal to understand :p

Simple. Like training any bad dog. Grab a newspaper, roll it up, and beat the ever-lovin' blue-eyed $*** out of the idiot.
Though I'd be nicer to a real dog.
*What I'm aiming for is that we get government money for playing games, would that be the right word then?)
WTH? How did you manage this??? Granted, I got paid to run a weekly game one summer at a program offered at a local college for high school kids, but that was a long time ago and for only 6 weeks.
Never RPG at a FLGS. Way too much stress to be worth it.
My group played our first game at an FLGS last night. None of us had ever played in one, so I was a bit apprehensive about it (as noted in earlier posts). We had a great time. Sure, it was loud at times and most of the tables were taken up with CCG players, but there were a couple other D&D games going on and a huge Warhammer game back in the corner.
So here's a shout out to Brian, James, and John at Game Zone Alpha in Jacksonville, AR. You guys made us feel right at home. There was ample table space for my group (7 of us last night), a snack bar, and tons of gaming books for sale (in fact a whole table of 3.5 Eberron books for $5 a throw).
So I think we've found a new place to play.

I was reading the subscription v. FLGS thread and it dawned on me that this never came up in the past in my case because I never played games at a FLGS. Always at my residence, at the residence of the GM or another player, or (when in college) somewhere on campus. Then again, I am about to start playing in a game at the FLGS in a couple weeks.
Do a lot of people play at the FLGS? If home is out, where else do people play?
My weekly games are at a FLGS. Played in other folks' homes and clubhouses. Known of groups that play in work facilities (after hours) and even school campuses. Knew a group that played at a park.
We usually play at the home of the player with the best space for it. At the moment this means my apartment. Last year it was a meeting space in my friend's res. hall. I have never played in a FLGS, since the only one near here is typically full of very rude warhammer players, and the store tends to mostly support warhammer style games.
