I'll definitely keep you in the loop. Two or three of us are actually thinking about coming by the Game Parlor to run some demos on Saturday afternoon. Are you available? Maybe we can get a game or two in. By the way, are they still charging $2 to sit at a table to play?

We're actually thinking about running our tournaments at Comics and Gaming in Gainesville. We might be stopping by there to run some demos Saturday morning before we head to Chantilly. Let me know if you can make it to either place on Saturday.

I meant to add that they do still charge $2 a day to use the tables, but you get a free play voucher for every $20 you spend in the store. Let me know what time you all will be by and I'll try to make it.

OK. I think I still have some vouchers from when they had their store on Woodbridge. I'll let you know when we decide on a time.

Just north of Dayton, OH for me. I'll have to try to keep an eye on the forums to see if the Columbus guys get up to anything I might not hear about otherwise.

That's okay. For some reason I'm the only one from within 2 hours of Chicago. That's a lot of people not posting.

And don't worry, we won't hold your college against you.

Well, good to know other people in central Florida are looking forward to the game. If I can get enough people together, I'm thinking about running a regular league.

I have always been a lonely Star Wars game player here in Wayne County, Ohio. I would be willing to meet people in Mansfield area north of Columbus, I guess.

Oh, not true. I can be "in" Chicago in 2 hours, with a full tank of gas and a little luck on I-65. happy.gif

WOW! I lived in Yelm for 4 years. I used to run Star Wars CCG Tournaments up in Lakewood. Small world.

I'm in Southwest suburbs of Chicago, but I am a 30 minute drive or 1 hour train ride from Chicago!

I'm in Naperville.

More interesting is that I went to a brand new game store in my area last night to check it out after hearing good things about it. When asked about X-Wing the owner's face lit up saying that one of the store's regulars (term used loosely when the store has been open for 2 months) brought in the game after GenCon and ran a few games there. He said that the store is planning on running regular events. Even more importantly, they are looking for people to be the judges/leaders for each game. Possibility there…

Even more interesting, he said the distributor told him that FFG is planning on starting organized play support of some kind. I really hope that this is true.

FFG has announced that there will be OP, but nothing more specific than that yet.

Aside from regular play with my personal friends I'm hoping to maybe get in regular gaming at Dice Dojo or Games Plus. A quick skim of this thread makes it seem like there are a fair number of us Midwestern gamers.
