CenTex Fatties: I need a new gaming group

21 Nov 2016 16:56 - 21 Nov 2016 16:57 #238892 by Cambyses
So, I finished grad school and I got a job in Austin. All of my grad school friends are about to graduate and move, but I'll still be here…which means that, starting in May, I won't know anyone here who digs the games I do. My office-mates have a constant game of Carcassonne, and I play with them, but when one of them asked me the games I like—Spartacus, Arkham Horror, Comic Encounter, etc—they all looked at me like I was from another planet.

I know there's a handful of you who live in the greater Austin area…any of you willing to look kindly on a poor gamer who likes dice and luck and yelling at the game table? I know there are a lot of board game meetups in the area, but I would prefer to get to know a regular group. I also DM, if RPGing is an option.

I have known people who shied away from Spartacus and Cosmic in favor of Carcassonne, and I still secretly suspect that they were born in pods. Be very careful.

Jeff White is in the Austin area, as is Chapel, who doesn't post as often these days. There are also F:ATties in Lubbock and Houston, though that's hardly local.

Unfortunately, though I currently live in the Dallas area I'll be moving away in just about a week. One of my Texas regrets is never being able to make a gathering of Texs F:ATties work.

Yeah, I'm just south of Austin, but sometimes play in Austin. I'll meet up with Austinities at the Emerald Tavern, but that's the exception not the rule. The rule is I'm running Blood Bowl and DreadBall leagues or playing light games spontaneously down in Kyle.

Where are you located?

Yeah, it's tough. Life, right? Especially because it sounds like you have a great group already, the value added isn't quite as high. ;)

FWIW, if anyone gets me an good full day gameday in advance in Austin, I can probably swing driving down to Austin for the weekend and crash with my brother.

I'm in North-ish Austin, but I would be willing to drive to a more convenient spot for you. I'll move it to PMs now.


And Gary, I would absolutely be down for a games day. I have a lot of games that I don't get to play too much anymore because they're a little too long for a casual session: things like GW Warrior Knights, which I like a lot.
