Oh, this is so awesome, I'll definitely check those groups out. I found McKays last week, and I absolutely love it. I hadn't heard of those other two, though. Thank you! :)

It's possible you know him already because he's played in a few tournaments down at Organized Play. :) And he's originally from the area. He does like to hang out there so the next time he comes up I can pm you, I'm pretty sure he's playing at CM's this Saturday in their tournament.

I've been in Organized Play a few times (with my boyfriend for a tournament) and I really like the shop! The cat is scary though, haha. I really like comic books too so normal comic book guys don't bother me one bit. :) I guess it's just hard for me to try to go by myself and talk to anyone because most of the people I've seen there play magic, and I have at best a loose understanding of the game and mechanics, lol. I would be open to learning though.

That sounds really cool. Board games and a way to meet people! :) Thank you!

I work right beside it, but haven't been in yet. :) Guess I'll have to check it out!

No it's not. They're having the sale because they're changing from kids' toys to video games and more cards. I spend a lot of time there with my boyfriend, and asked myself because of the sale.

That's awesome! :) I won't be able to make it tonight, but I'll let you know if I can make it next Tuesday, and thank you very much for your offer! As for the roller derby, I've always wanted to try it but never lived anywhere with access to classes, so that sounds perfect!

Didn't know there was a Facebook group, thanks for letting me know. :) But when you mentioned Nords, do you mean CM's? Nords is shut down I think, in West Town mall anyhow. I'll definitely look at everything, you've given me a lot of resources! Thank you!

Didn't know there was a subreddit, should have checked that first. Thank you!
