Holy Flashback, Batman!

isomeme will be pleased at this.

Last night, we went out for Kiri's birthday dinner with murphymom. My discussion of wanting to get back into figure painting made her think of a store she and n_1_n had been into a few day previously. So we went to Campbell for dinner, and then to the store. A gaming store.

Brand new, and still pretty bare. Mostly miniatures stuff but a decent shelf of RPGs. The owner was a cute, very knowledgeable young woman who seemed really into both the store as a profit maker and as a gaming space.

They will be getting my business. And when GURPS Space comes out for the 4th edition rules, I'll have a place for my game to run!

Craig, you'd love this place. Very much the GameTable vibe from it.

Sweet! And even in Campbell, where game stores are *supposed* to be! (It would be too much to ask for it to be in the middle of the Great Hexagon, I suppose.) What's the place called?

We lost our FLGS in Westwood a couple of years ago. It, too, had the Game Table vibe. I played my only recent face-to-face RPG sessions there, sitting around a rickety table in the back room. It was like being 16 again; I loved it.

And the campaign allowed my geeky engineer character to visit Darrian and ogle TL17* goodies. Life was good. Until we went from there into the Sword Worlds. Things went downhill rapidly from there. But in interesting ways. :)

* I'll never stop thinking in CT tech levels.
