This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: joewolzMy game store is Castle Perilous in Carbondale, IL.

They carry most of the publishers here (Hinterwelt for sure, and I swear I saw something from FLying Mice there once) and a few others.

They had Burning Wheel in the used section once for $10.  No forgey stuff at all there, and I find the owner actively hostile to them.
Scott's a good guy but you need to prove yourself to him. He has worked with me in the past and SA! sells well for him at conventions he attends.

He sells SA!, I know that.  He's given it good reviews in GameBuyer.  

I think you're spot on with "proving yourself," and he does that to his regulars too, which is why I'm such a spotty customer.  He gets away with a lot of shit because he's the only game in town.

No doubt he can be tough. I was pleasantly surprised when he accepted my products. At that, he is mostly taken with SA! He might have had some success with Roma, he ordered a few. Other than that though, I am not sure he carries the full line.

Quote from: McrowHow many of you can actually find small press games at your FLGS?

Just to clarify what I mean by small press:

SJ,Hero, Green Ronin,Mongoose,Atlas, and other such mid-sized publishers don't count.
I don't usually see a lot of small press games, but sometimes I'm surprised. Recently I saw Iron Gauntlets, and some time ago I saw Roma Imperious.
Grając zaś w grę komputerową, być może zdarzyło się wam zapragnąć zejść z wyznaczonej przez autorów ścieżki i, miast zabić smoka i ożenić się z księżniczką, zabić księżniczkę i ożenić się ze smokiem.
