Over at this thread http://www.pendrakenforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,11219.150.html the topic turned to the rarity of the FLGS.

Are friendly local game stores really rare?

Could we get a list of them together here?

:D

Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

Antics is a modelling store.

There's Excelsior, next to the hardcore version of Ann Summers.

There's also been a couple of others, but they never seem to last long. One in Old Market, one in Hotwells, but I think they've both closed now.

Cheers, Martyn

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I have no idea how close they are either :-/

But they certainly are friendly,  a number of us use to get our 6mm H&R through them and always had great service :) :) :)
