I sometimes daydreamed about having my own game store. The usual idea was that it would be called something like "The Game Silo" and have a nuclear missile launch bunker kind of theme to it. Even having a light up DEFCON sign and siren to get attention for making storewide announcements. And every time someone walked in, a small speaker by the doors would say "Shall we play a game?" from Wargames.

Well, the geek in me wants to have something generically geeky in the title.

Dice Bunker

Ogre's/Goblin's Den

The Wizards Tower

Gamer's Cavern

I've been told by several store owners that having an excessively geeky store name is bad for for business and random customer to lurk around, especially if you plan on selling things outside the more "main stream" titles out there DnD, Magic, 40k.

Selling collectibles, statues, sports cards, posters, swords and shields, model kits (like some local shops in my area) perhaps something less Geeky?

However, I am a level headed rebel and don't take advice from people who may or may not know what they are talking about.

Such as the butter knife and electrical outlet incident.

I'd suggest "The Glory Hold" if it wasn't so similar and inferior to the above suggestion... kind of Viking-y too.

You know you want to.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
