I’ve been looking at leasing a space for a potential business idea, but I wanted to see what others thought of it. What I’m thinking about is immersive play spaces. A tavern setup that looks like something out of a D&D game, or maybe a spaceport bar for those into SciFi games. Even thinking about a possible Cyberpunk styled bar. The idea is that they would be member driven with guest passes, and alcohol would be supply your own. What I’m asking is if one of these spaces was in your area, would you pay a nominal monthly fee? I’m thinking between $25 to $50 a month with five guest passes.
You make some valid points. Especially the lack of money in the rpg scene. The hope was more than just RPGs, but other table-top style games, and have a lounge setting with multiple tables members can reserve. And the BYOB was a hope I wouldn’t have to deal with liquor licenses and still have an adult member base. I will admit that I will need more research, especially market research, before considering launching something like this.
