Looking for Talisman Fans in Seattle Area

By rnrfantasy, in Talisman

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for fellow Talisman lovers in the Seattle area to play with. I love playing with all the board expansions (besides the Dragon usually), but I'm flexible. Willing to drive a decent amount for games. Looking for a nice group to play with occasionally, probably on weekends since it's a long game. Send me a message or reply if interested. Might be fun to plan a game in the PAX boardgame area as well this year.

I'm a little surprised that you have to advertise for gamers living in Seattle. I live in Santa Barbara, CA and finding gamers here is nearly impossible. Everyone is so aloof and into physical activity. When I went to Portland, OR, I entered a Gamers Workshop last year and it was absolutely FILLED with gamers of all variety from all walks of life and that's where I found out about Talisman. I made the assumption that the further up you go, where it's even more rainy, that there'd be even more gamers.

EDIT: Sorry, it was Guardian Games.

Yeah, I'm originally from Chicago and didn't have problems finding nice people to play with there. I think there are two things at work here: the Seattle Freeze and the fact that's it's becoming more like Santa Barbara regarding outdoor activities/etc with all the new people moving in. I think a lot of gamers from the area keep to themselves, which I can appreciate but it doesn't help when you're looking for others to play with. The other thing I come across is that many hardcore gamers look at Talisman as a silly luck based game and don't want to play it. I love the fact that there's a huge world to explore and that luck is involved. Anyway, hoping I'll find a couple people.
