7th Dimension Games

This is actually just a memo to my future self. Assuming the store continues to grow, someday we will move again. At that time, I need to remember these moving tips:

1. When a property owner claims a lot size is X, he’s talking about the size of the lot, not about the interior space (alternately, he’s making up a number). Measure the space before believing it.
2. Never tell them you like the space. They’ll figure it out if you come back a second time.
3. When they promise you a date the space can be available, get it in writing with a clear definition of penalties if they fail to get deliver it on that date.
4. When they say, “the smoke detector works” test it. When they say a pull alarm works, test it. If they won’t test it because of some excuse, have them put in writing that they guarantee that it works – and that any and all failures are their responsibility.
5. When they say things don’t leak, have them put it in writing.
6. When they say the A/C has been replaced/service ask to see the paperwork. If not, ask if they will pay for a visit by your selected company before you move in.
7. There are always more things that should be added to this list.

When I was at a July 4th party, I said something about boardgames at the store, and someone else said “Isn’t your store mostly miniatures?” Well, no. Personally, I would be happier if more of the profits were coming from board games, but the simple fact is that after the Magic draft got rolling, our profits for CCGs jumped up.

RPGs jumped up this month with the arrival of Dark Sun, normally it is a little lower.
