I tried getting into tabletop years ago because some friends of mine play. The local shop is always full of fat horrid creatures that treated any walk-ins like trash and actually made the shop smell so bad that they had a "special regulars table" in the back room so they could try to keep the ham-beasts away from the other customers... It didn't work, I went twice and couldn't put up with the shit and never went back.  Those fuckers ruined tabletop for me before I even got started (honestly I couldn't afford it at the time so I suppose that is a non-fatty lining, I spent time on my bike instead).  If I ran a business like that I would ban those bastards in the first 3 days. They never bought anything at the shop and just treated it like their own personal hangout (what my friends said after they stopped going in a month.. How did they tolerate that shit for so long?) Most of them bought stuff off ebay or other online shops. Nothing like putting up with shitty people and not making a dime off them while they make your place of work smell like shit and destroy your plumbing.
