(...) Well, that's certainly wacky, but I can offer one possible interpretation based upon my limited experience in retail. I worked at a small game/hobby store from 97 through 99 that sold a lot of role-playing games (among other stuff). One (...) (21 years ago, 28-Dec-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shopping)
