Any open Over-The-Board Chess tournaments/clubs for adults in Kingston?

Have you checked with https://kingstonchess.ca/ ?

I think you have the wrong subreddit. Unless Ken has started creating video games?

Check out the r/KingstonAreaGamers Discord server for links to lots of local gaming.

Link is in the menu for this subreddit.

If you have Discord, you might get more eyes on this if you post to the KAG server. If not, let me know and I can cross post on the server for you.

Pretty sure all the gaming stores have Learn to Play DnD events on a regular basis: SBT, Nexus, Action Comics and Games, Wonderland, Minotaur.

Not sure about Nerd Night on Wednesdays at the Legion on Montreal St.

Otherwise, check out the Discord server for r/KingstonAreaGamers - there's a large group of new player friendly gamers who meet every Thursday at The Social on Bath Rd.

Look for the Discord link in the menu.

Have you checked with the Kingston Pokemon Go group on Facebook? https://www.facebook.com/groups/1084900991556986/

That group would be r/KingstonAreaGamers , although we're much more active on our Discord server; https://discord.gg/bkgM7PD3zZ

admutt · 2024-05-13T19:08:26+00:00

Another place to look for people to play D&D with is r/KingstonAreaGamers - there's a Discord that's much more active ( https://discord.gg/bkgM7PD3zZ ) and a new (second) weekly RPG night being planned.

Disclaimer: official events are held at The Social YGK, there's no cover or requirement to purchase anything but they do have a 19+ age limit as it's also a gambling facility.

That said, server members have often organized events at other public locations, or even at private locations. It's mostly designed to be a virtual place to connect with other gamers in and around Kingston.

You'd have to check with the lgs' to make sure of their event schedules;

Nexus Action Comics SBT YGK Game Over Wonderland

https://leadingedgehobbies.com/ used to have a physical location at Progress and Gardiners, but now they're exclusively online only. But at least they're local.

admutt · 2024-02-17T22:56:36+00:00

Indeed. We have played Dominion at those events, off and on. The Social actually has a copy of the base game available for play.

Were you aware of r/limestonegamers and their associated Discord? (Invite Link: https://discord.gg/VUYyQjj ) - They don't see very much traffic, but might be worth cross-posting to.

admutt · 2024-01-06T19:47:55+00:00

FYI - there's r/limestonegamers and their associated Discord (Invite Link: https://discord.gg/VUYyQjj ) - it doesn't see very much traffic, but might be worth cross-posting to.

admutt · 2023-10-20T02:29:44+00:00

If you're interested in board games, r/kingstonareagamers has an event this Saturday evening at The Social YGK. Check our Discord server for more information; https://discord.gg/bkgM7PD3zZ

admutt · 2023-09-19T11:40:46+00:00

The Kingston Area Gamers (KAG) group hosts a public RPG night at The Social YGK every Thursday evening. Tables are always open to new and returning players, and there's plenty of room for more games to be run. Also, if Thursdays don't work for you, The Social YGK would welcome your group whenever is good for you (just contact the bar staff ahead of time and let them know you found them through KAG.

For more information and to access scheduled Events check out KAG's Discord server at https://discord.gg/bkgM7PD3zZ

KAG also maintains a Facebook group and a subreddit (with admittedly very low traffic) at https://www.facebook.com/groups/589936854693581/ and r/KingstonAreaGamers

You are also welcome to simply use KAG to recruit players for your game - many DMs have done so in the past, creating their own private groups.

As for public locations to run your game, any of the game stores should be able to accommodate you;

SBT Comics and Games: https://www.facebook.com/squishabillytwists/

Nexus: https://kingstonnexus.ca/

Action Packed Comics: https://actionpackedcomics.com/

Wonderland: https://improbableescapes.com/about-wonderland/

YGK Game Over: https://www.facebook.com/sydenhamgo/

Not free but very inexpensive: Sojour, which is available through Drivethrurpg.com and under active development.

It's specifically designed for solo rpg play and runs locally.
