Store-floor stories from the inside of the hobby.

Years of running a Friendly Local Game Store leave you with a different view of tabletop gaming. You see what people buy, what they return to, what communities build around, and what quietly falls apart.

This section turns that lived history into practical stories, lessons, and perspective that most hobby content never gets near.
