↓ TranscriptPanel 1: Mike is at the game store.
Mike: Hi! I'm here to demo my game, Creeple Tower!
Game Store Owner: Right! You can pull the Tower around front.
Panel 2:
Mike: Oh I have the tower right here. (pointing to box he's holding)
Game Store Owner: You mean there's no life size stone fortress to promote my store front?
Panel 3:
Mike: 'Fraid not.
Game Store Owner: Susie! Bring out the brigade! It's gonna be another slow one!
Panel 4: Friendly Deodorized Game Store
There's a guy in armor and two sheep.
Sheep one sign: Catan Half off!
Sheep two sign: Sheep for wood
Knighted guy sign: Dice! We got 'em!
From in store, the Game Store Owner: It's all about promotion, kid!
Poor little sheep. If those sheep were in Greece they’d either be dead of a heat stroke or sheered completely.
It was 94 (34 Celsius) degrees yesterday and I’m so close to civilization that there is a flock of sheep next to my home.
I think Mike has lost before he begun. Creeple Tower…. Creepy Tower?
Haha.. Love the Big Bang Theory reference of sheep for wood.
I thought “sheep for wood” was a Catan reference, which would mean Big Bang Theory referenced Catan. O.o
Anyways, a few months ago I finally found what I thought looked like an FLGS, and was thrilled to death. Walked in, looked around. Hmm, comic books and comic book action figures, didn’t see any games. Asked an employee if they had Pathfinder. Employee starts looking around, asks me what series it’s from. I clarified with, “It’s a roleplaying game, like Dungeons and Dragons.” And the employee’s response was, “Oh, we don’t have anything like that.” Seriously!? What a waste. -.-
Maybe you and others asking them about games will encourage them to start carrying some. I’ve seen other comic stores start to do that.
But I think it can be a tough business. I can understand if they’re reluctant to start investing in the merchandise.
And yes, I was referencing Catan directly.
But I’m glad to hear Big Bang Theory picked up on it!
I really want him to have success with creeple tower.
