Houston, TX (Looking for players)

By Jfitz1431, in X-Wing Organized Play

I live in Katy, TX currently and have been looking for X-wing players for some months now. Have visited Asgard, and 8th Dimensions, neither of have consistent dates/times that people meet up to play. Nor am I aware of any leagues in the city.

I would like to try to get something consistent going, or at the very least, find some players to meet up with every once in a while. 8th is the closest store to me that I am aware of. But I'm so starved for games that I'm willing to drive a bit further.

Any other Houstonian X-wing players out there looking to meet up and fly some ships?

I know it isnt that cl9se, but close for Texas. There 8s a pretty good group from Austin to Waco. If you have facebook, look for Austin x-wing squad.

List of stores that have tournaments, just look on website for dates.

Battlefield games; Killeen

Mages Sanctum; Austin

Dragons lair; Austin

Mothership; Austin

Game closet; Waco

There is a Houston X-Wing group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/HoustonXWing/

Most tournaments and information on the league gets posted there. We're just wrapping up the league season and probably won't start another season until January.

Also see this google doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cq9M2VXcWrMjjDBf_Dyd_Eql-IYhvpoNeaMuoMdVDnU/edit#gid=0

It has the regular tournament and weekly game night schedule for the 4 FFG Star Wars games, including X-Wing.

I'm in SW Houston. I'd be happy to meet for a game or two at Heroes Collectables or Asgard sometime. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Will definitely check out those resources thanks errlarson! I'll try to see what my schedule looks like for the next few weeks and PM you when I have a time and date I could meet up.

Martin appreciate your help. Thanks!

Also there are at least 4-10 players every Tuesday out at Fat Ogre in Spring.

Hey there, i have a friend in katy, tx who would easily join up for a league as well as myself and I live 30 min south of Houston. Would be very interested in a league type setting.

Check out the FB page as we're just about to wrap up Season Two of the Apollo Squadron league tomorrow at Gerard's. Final 8 showdown at 12:30, as well as open XW gaming. Might be a good chance for you to connect with our flight crew.

I've been getting into X-Wing in the last months, live near Katy, don't have a FB account, and lack regular X-wing players. Not currently interested in tournaments, just regular games here and there.

I live near 8th Dimension, but I haven't really spotted X-Wing players there to interact with; a few times when I've stopped by, the game room has been overrun with existing game groups (hard to fault them for being popular).

Hope this doesn't constitute thread necromancy.

Your best bet at 8th will be Thursday evening, but there really isn't a consistent X-wing night. Since you don't have a Facebook account, it could be difficult to find pickup games, but if you live near 8th, Bad Wolf might be a reasonable drive. They have a consistent group on Wednesdays.

Lacking that, send me a PM and we can work out a pickup game at 8th. I don't follow this forum very closely anymore, but I should get an email notification if you send a message.

Hello!

I work relatively close to 8th dimension, but I'm from the Humble/Kingwood area. I am also interested in some casual games as I have difficulty finding people!

I took Sideslip's advice and checked out Bad Wolf (Bad Wolf Trading off Old Louetta Rd). There were two players and the staff (nice guy) said there were usually more. Got in one game. Parking didn't look ideal but they have a nice "here is where to park" map inside. There were four play mats set out for X-Wing, so I think they probably have more regulars. I'll likely be trying to get out there when I can but I'm open to other times as long as I can plan ahead; I work a little bit of everywhere and a little bit of everywhen.

I almost went out there yesterday! I was feeling lazy and played Xbox instead.

I am definitely up for meeting up somewhere!

Should have made the trip. I went to Bad Wolf again yesterday and there were six other players and three mats out. Hard to predict the capacity, apparently. All pretty nice people, one I recognized from the previous Wednesday.

Going to try checking out the other venues (per errlarson) as time permits.

(general FYI)

8th Dimension's gaming tables were completely unoccupied this last Monday. The staff confirmed that this is usually the case for Mondays.
