dragon and meeple? by dmadmin july 16, 2017 july 17, 2017 uncategorized over the past several days i have been pitching potential investors on the idea that is the dragon and meeple. entrepreneurship takes no small measure of hubris and i have been operating over the past 4 months under one premise, “if you build it they will come”. of course, if i don’t tell any of you, my prospective customers, what “it” is, why should you care? the answer is you won’t. i hope to remedy that situation this week. i have built my concept around four pillars and over the next four nights i will detail each of those in a new post. monday – play: if you only read one post, this is it. everything we will do will be an extension of creating the best possible environment for play. tuesday – product: i can’t compete with the online retailers out there on price, but i can compete on value. i know this will be a tough sell, but i think we are up to the challenge. wednesday – pride: we should all have pride in our identity as gamers. we need to make sure to keep the friendly right at the front of flgs. this goes beyond the staff, and extends to cultivating a clientele that creates a fun welcoming environment for all. thursday – prestige: this may seem like an odd word to use when talking about a gaming establishment. my vision for this venture has changed over the past several years but it has never wavered from belief that we, as gamers, can and should demand better. chris buskirk owner – manager the dragon and meeple 122 comments the dragon and meeple – part 1 – play by dmadmin july 17, 2017 july 17, 2017 uncategorized tonight i would like to discuss the first pillar in the foundation of the dragon and meeple, play . i had an adviser ask me why i chose play instead of fun. i told him that i can’t sell fun. i can only create an environment that maximizes the potential for play to be fun. fun is such a subjective concept, that, if i tried to distill it and sell it, i would be just a likely to make things un-fun for many others. what i can provide is an a place where you can create fun. the first step is building this location from the ground up with gamers in mind. this starts with lighting. every table will be well lit with led lights. our goal will be maximum visibility without the glare of florescent lights. no one should have to strain their eyes to read a card, or see what color piece was just laid out on the board. the next step in our build out is addressing sound. one problem, typical of gaming establishments, is the noise. if everyone is having fun, our goal, then things can get loud. if you are playing games in another type of venue you must often deal with other distractions such as music. starting with the initial build out, and modified as we learn more, sound dampening will be placed throughout the main gaming room, to ensure your focus is on your table. finally we need to construct with our customer’s comfort in mind. the majority of our customers are more likely to be sitting down to play for 3 hours than they are for 30 minutes. we will ensure that every seat in the house is comfortable for gamers of all shapes and sizes, no matter how long you want to play. this extends to having clean and accessible facilities. with a proper build out complete our next focus will be on removing barriers to fun. moving beyond just having a large library of games for loan, we will ensure that we carry the newest games and have staff on hand to teach them. you can also count on variety in the game library, not just those games we might think are fun. our guests will also find an extensive schedule of organized play for all sorts of tabletop games. whether you arrive as a group or are going out solo, we will have something planned nearly every night for you to join in on. the last barrier to fun i would like to address is other customers. we want everyone to have a good time, but that should never come at the expense of others. we will enforce a rigid, but common sense, code of conduct to ensure each of our customers feels welcome and free to enjoy their time at the dragon and meeple. we can and will fire staff or customers who create a hostile environment i hope you will join me tomorrow as i discuss products and the value we hope to provide you. no comments the dragon and meeple – part 2 – price by dmadmin july 19, 2017 july 19, 2017 uncategorized sorry this post is late, but here is the second pillar of the dragon and meeple: price. please note that not all prices have been finalized, and may need to be adjusted before or after we open. i would have had this up last night, but ironically i was working on financial statements most of the night. i’m trying to figure out exactly how many games and burgers i need to sell to keep the lights on, keep my employees happy, and pay myself enough to keep my apartment. i have one more group of people to keep happy, and that’s my investors. each one of them is passionate about games and shares my vision, but they are sinking a lot of money into this place and deserve a return on that investment. since our first goal it to provide you a great space to play, we will need to provide lots of it. that space is very expensive. we will have a base cover charge of $5 to play games. that cover charge can however be discounted or waived. at the discretion of management your cover can be discounted based on your tab and how long you have played. if you buy lunch and play cards, we don’t want to charge you as much as we do a patron who has played for 8 hours. of course if you are a member, you will never pay a cover charge. memberships will be reserved for patrons who make retail purchases at the dragon and meeple. if you make a retail purchase of $50 or more you are entitled to a 1 month membership. membership doesn’t just waive your cover charges. members have priority in reserving tables, exclusive use of our private rooms, and priority on game pre-sales. other membership perks are in the works and will be announced at our convention. as i said sunday, we can’t compete with the big online retailers on price, however i hope that the value we provide with memberships and play space will make us your first choice for hobby gaming purchases. i can’t yet speak to the prices of our food and drinks. i am currently searching for a general manager and head chef. once i have them in place i can give more details on our menu. i do plan on a menu with items for patrons in many price ranges. no comments the dragon and meeple – part 3 – pride by dmadmin july 19, 2017 july 19, 2017 uncategorized tonight i want to talk about the third pillar of the dragon and meeple, pride. not every gamer is a nerd, but as a whole, we tend towards nerdier tendencies. think pieces abound on the internet about how it is the “age of the geek”, and how it’s cool to be a nerd. even as hollywood and pop culture in general co-opt our fandoms and hobbies, you still see the subtle eye roll or veiled disdain when someone doesn’t share our interests. tabletop gaming holds an even smaller niche within this greater community of nerds and geeks. despite it’s relatively small size, one of my favorite things about this community is it’s diversity. i don’t just mean racial, gender, religious, or sexual diversity. the diversity of interests among those friends i have made while gaming has been unparalleled against any other community i have ever been a part of. this diversity is reflected in the breadth of themes explored in tabletop games. we can take pride when we beat our opponents at the table with a skillful play of the cards. we can take pride in losing because we learned a new strategy for the future. we can take pride when we work together to slay a dragon. we can take pride when we
