We were out and about today doing some scouting of a local park for a possible Steampunk Picnic. On the way we passed a small building with a sign reading "The Temple: The Art of Great Gaming". Intrigued, we stopped in on the way back, and boy are we glad we did.
When we first walked in the door we were a bit nervous, all we could see was Warhammer terrain and people playing Magic the Cardboard. But we decided to head in anyway, and found the owners. They are awesomely neat people whom we have lots of acquaintances in common with, and they share a lot of interests and attitudes in common with us. Turns out their shop has only been open for about as long as we've been in RI, and they haven't even gotten most of their stock in yet. They run TempleCon and decided to open a place for local gamers designed as more of a gaming "lounge" than a gaming store. It has big tables and comfy chairs & couches. They have all sorts of things going on and more planned as they ramp up to their grand opening weekend around the end of the month.
All told we probably spent at least and hour talking with them, and are already planning to return on Tuesday as that is their open RPG gaming night. So yay, neat local gaming store found!
