    There’s a store like that here and they were totally insular. I asked if there were any games I could join in and they looked at me like I was some sort of stupid neophyte who wouldn’t know D&D from Call of Cthulhu. Fuck that.

      Oh that’s unfortunate, thats not how they run things here. I haven’t been in a while, but its more like a bunch of DMs and everyone gets randomly assigned to a table. Games are 30 minutes, and then rotating tables. Its more about trying out some different games than anything else.

      They did have a separate night they’d host, but those were reserved rooms (like a conference room setup, TV available for map display). More like a night for regular players to have a regular space to play, but its kind of obvious (with the reserved signs on the rooms and all).
