Foxtrot today:

**Danny Internets**

Hahaha excellent find

**theHandofGork**

Sweet! Fox Trot is always good at getting their nerd knowledge right (including physics equations).

**warpcrafter**

I feel seething jealousy towards anybody who lives only three miles away from their FLGS. Mine is fifteen miles away through a gauntlet that is like a trial run for Deathrace. Still, it's nice that we get some respect from an outside source.

**Aduro**

Three miles? The two guys who I want to the Ard Boiyz with the other day I found out only live like 7 blocks from our FLGS. I myself live around the 15 mile mark as well.

How about a mile and a half?

**Flagg07**

<----3 blocks away.

**GCMandrake**

I live a 20 minute walk away from Warhammer World (GW's global HQ).

...

I'll leave now before the hatred starts to build.

**warpcrafter**

That's ok, all the people I used to play 40K with are hardcore D&D online junkies now, so I really should stop wasting my money on minis.

**wash-away**

i don't know how far endzone is but the store I go to the most is about 45 miles away.

**Darkness**

lol, my drive is an hour and drops 3k feet in elevation

**frgsinwntr**

<~~~ in the appartment above!

j/k I am 20 miles away

**Typeline**

You guys are lucky. I have to drive an hour and 30 minutes to my FLGS. That also doesn't count Atlanta traffic.

**Eldramesha**

I take MARTA so traffic is less of an issue but I do have an hour and half or more bus/train ride to my FGS (local is debatable since it is in a different city and two counties over.)

**The Defenestrator**

<- 5 blocks to my FLGS, which was a joy with this unusually beautiful October day we had. The kind of day that makes you want to invent Lawnhammer 40,000.

Dear global warming, I love you until you start sending earthquakes this far up the pacific rim, or flood my coastal city.

**Grotsnik**

65 miles ...one way.

**vigilant_fiend**

I am less than a mile from my FLGS which is awesome since I used to live in a town where the closest place to get minis was two hours away

**Waaagh_Gonads**

I CARRY my horse the 250 miles of driving snow just to get to the train station so I can ride the other 500 miles on a hard wooden floor (no seats for me) on an open carriage, then have to ride a unicycle backwards up and down 10 hills to get to the phone to let my FLGS know I'm on the way...

Or I drive 7 minutes to my local GW...

**Old Man Ultramarine**

I have 2 stores to go to. 20 minutes north to one and 20 minutes south to the other. Both owned by my buddy.

**Axyl**

My closest shop is a 45 minute drive away, and thats to get to a GW outlet, not even a gaming shop. There is a shop closer, but they only sell GW stuff and don't actually have a table set up. They never have what I want in stock anyway (and I am a big fan of instant gratification and not waiting a week for shipping).

**Solorg**

Great comic! This comes up in my group all the time. Truth is I have used my 40K Orks more than once to represent D&D Orks. It does take a little imagination, of course, to imagine that the guns are not there, but why WOULDN'T I use them since I obviously have them in bulk?

Of course, in the old days, we used to play D&D without miniatures at all. That took imagination to be sure. It is more fun with minis, but it can cost a LOT for a DM to amass a decent collection.

And even when you do, players always want to see a NEW foe - not the same old Skeletons and Goblins every single time!

**OnTheEdge**

... Some people are truly lucky... Closest GW for me is like 250 miles

I miss the time when i lived in London, not even 5minutes to Hammersmith GW, well, what you gonna do....

Oh yeah!?! Well, I have to carry TWO horses, kicking and screaming through 20 feet of snow, in a constant raging blizzard, while being chased by leopards, 400 miles, up 3000 ft of elevation, then drop the horses, pick up two yaks, kicking and screaming, climb a sheer cliff face, while milking the yaks, yodeling, and chewing gum, while being shot at by local tribesman, 100 more miles, only to reach the top of the mountain, cook the yaks, drink the spoiled milk, then proceed to walk over burning hot magma with no shoes, about 50 miles. By then, the store is only open for 5 minutes, on a Tuesday, at 3:49pm.

Well, it's more like a 30 minute drive to the good FLGS, but, it feels the same.

Florida traffic.

**Howard A Treesong**

I used to live in town so the model shop was a 10 minute brisk walk away, I've moved out of town now so it's an 8 mile drive.

**JokerGod**

I get stuck driving an hour for the closest hobby shop.

They need to open up more >.<

Sadly, they erred this time.

They called it a "Bloodletter" from Warhammer, yet is is clearly drawn on a round base. Any true nerd knowledgitian knows the difference between 40K round and fantasy square bases. Flearly, he failed on this one... Glaringly so.

::sigh::

LOL

**Feor**

I was a 20min bus ride to my local GW, then they closed it, now I'm a 50min bus ride to the other GW on the other side of the city. :(

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

5 minutes from work, 25 from home. Both walking.

Ha!
