[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9273420, member: 6796661"] I'm in the process of moving to Milwaukee and would be interested in hearing from some Milwaukeeans on where to find good in-person TTRPG gaming. I'll be living in the Juneau Town neighborhood. Looks like there are not any FLGSs in walking distance, but quite a few within a 10-20 minute drive. Looking for game stores with lively in-store play facilities shows how spoiled I've been living in the Twin Cities. There are some good FLGS for shopping in Milwaukee, but not seem to have great play spaces and those that have decent-sized play spaces seem to be heavily focused on MTG and other CCGs. As I settle into the city and new job, I'll probably just continue to focus on the on-line campaign that I'm running for my long-term group. But, as a forever DM, it would be nice to find some games to play in. The following is the list of FLGS I've found that are under a 30-minute drive away: [LIST] [*]Battle Brothers Miniature Wargaming. Mostly warhammer and wargaming supplies (duh) and the obligatory MTG stuff. Doesn't seem like there is much in the way of TTRPGs. [*]Board Game Barrister. Looks like a good replacement for my beloved Gamezenter in the Twin Cities in terms of shopping for board games, but doesn't seem to have any play space. Looks like more of a mall shop than what I typically look for in FLGS. [*]Evolution Gaming. Seems mostly focused on card games (MTG, Pokemon, etc.). Does have a decent amount of space for playing, albeit with crappy chairs and tables (if the photos are up to date). [*]Mana Vault MKE. Seems solely focuses on CCGs like MTG. Decent amount of play space and the tables and chairs look decent. But doesn't seem geared for TTRPGs. [*]Pink Bunny Games. Small CCG-focused shop. [*]Warpstone Games & Lounge. Okay this place seems to be more of what I'm looking for. Not a lot, but good tables and seating. A small bar for non-alcoholic drinks and snakes. TTRPGs and board games. I'll definitely check this place out. [*]Warhammer. Would be fun to visit once and browse. But I'm not interested in wargaming these days. [*]Game Universe. Looks promising. Looks great for shopping but play space seems small from the photos. [*]Gamers Realm. Seems focuses on wargaming. Very little play space. [*]TK Games. Seems worth a visit, but play space looks small. [*]Beyond the Board is a bit further away than the other listed, but is the most promissing for what I'm looking for. Open gaming nights for TTRPGs. In-store kitchen with decent food and drink menu. Reservable tables. Looks small but the cover charge and table reservations can avoid driving out there and finding all the tables taken. [/LIST] In terms of Meetups on Meetups.com, I'm not finding a lot of in-person TTRPG meetups. Some board games meetups, more CCG meetups, on-line TTRPGs, but not many in-person TTRPG events. [LIST] [*]Milwaukee Game Night Meetup. Over 1,000 members. Most game nights held close by where I'll be living. Focus is on board games. Don't see any TTRPG nights. [*]Beyond the Board open game nights are something I'll definitely check out. They are set up to help people meet and find groups to play with. [/LIST] In terms of find-gamer sites: [LIST] [*]Tabletop Wizards ([URL="https://www.rpgtablefinder.com/"]Tabletop Wizard - Tabletop Group Finder For Online and Face to Face Games[/URL]) a bust. No local events. No tables listed looking for players. [*]Find Gamers. Not many people unless I expand scope to within 30 miles. Still, at least some folks to reach out to. [*]RPG Game Find. A bust. [*]Warhorn. A few Pathfinder Events. [/LIST] Anyway, if there are any "persons of the good land" here in EN World, please share your favorite FLGSs and forums for finding in-person TTRPG games.
