Yikes. After seeing some of the situations here, I think that my city is
almost blessed as far as gaming stores go. In Vancouver we have about
4-5
stores ranging from evil incarnate (IE GW) to nice, to small but
welcoming
stores. None carry any GZG products anymore, since Geo-Hex stopped
distroing
em, but a few are willing to order in from GZG directly. My normal
hangout
in North Vancouver's actually got about 5-6 tables set up for gamers and
I
am able to run Full Thrust Games over the weekends without any problems.
He
even sells drinks from a minifridge.
Kinda makes me glad to be Canadian....
