I just started up a play group at the Comic Cult in Torrance, CA a couple months ago and we're still trying to get established with a good player base. We have a few vet players but the store has also worked with us to allow for a few big events in the month of April to hopefully spark some interest locally. So that means that we have the following events scheduled:
April 4th: 3rd Anniversary Celebration (constructed)
April 11th: Set 12 Pre-release
April 18th: 3rd Anniversary Celebration (sealed)
All events are on a Saturday and all events start off a 1 PM.
The 3rd Anniversary Celebration has a bunch of sealed product from Cutting Edge and Domination as prizes as well as the normal support so if you're looking to get someone new into the game that's the best time to do it.
Hope to see some new players there!
