Gaming in Phoenix, AZ

[Arkhandus]

Well, as mentioned, you can try swinging by ManaWerx on a Saturday, or a Thursday. There's a group that meets on some (most?) Thursday evenings but I haven't gamed with them myself.

On Saturdays my small group meets for D&D and D20 Modern; today we made some characters for a D&D campaign, as I'm going to run a 3.0 D&D campaign on some Saturdays (maybe Thursdays later) with a few bits of 3.5 material mixed in (Erik made a druid with some levels in the Nature Warrior prestige class from Complete Warrior; Adam is trying out the Book of Nine Swords since I brought it along (and it's the reason I wanted to try another D&D campaign), so instead of just building a mage as usual, he worked with me and made a sorcerer/swordsage/jade phoenix mage, focused on swordsage levels).

I'll be running my D&D campaign with the Book of Nine Swords on some Saturdays, and my D20 Modern/Future campaign of Mecha Crusade on the other Saturdays. Don't know if Adam will start up another D&D campaign of his own or not.

We may be able to run games on other days, if there's interest.

Are you looking for a regular D&D 3.5 group?

YES! OMG YES!

I'm dying for a game. I live in Avondale (as previously stated) but would drive if necessary. I'm interested in D&D and d20 Modern, but I would play anything right now. I only have experience in those two games... though its a lot of experience. You might say... I'M LEVEL 20 OR SOMESUCH! Bwahaha...


...sorry.

I've been to a ton of shops around so far. Gamer's Inn is AWESOME. Chandler or Tempe I think.

Game Nightz is really nice too, and I went there to meet up with a group of L5R players who play on Tuesdays, and at least one of which plays D&D.

I just stopped by a new Samurai Comics on 107th and Indian School, and though they focus on comics they have a bunch of tables for gaming and empty time slots.

So what's up?????? Let's get a game together!!!! DANG I wanna play!

Hehe, I felt basically the same way when I moved here, since I had to leave my gaming buddies in Michigan. Since it's so oppressively hot for half the year, tolerably hot for a few months, and reasonably warm the rest of the time, I ended up finding a D&D group online through OpenRPG before I ever managed to find a gamestore and fellow gamers reasonably nearby.

If you guys don't mind the drive or bus-ride, come by Manawerx on Thursday or Saturday evenings for D&D or d20 Modern/Future. For now we're playing D&D on Thursdays at 6:30 pm and d20 Modern/Future on Saturdays at 6 pm (play usually starts around 6:30 or 7 though).


Heck, if multiple people besides myself could show up at any given time on Sundays or Tuesdays, we could get a separate game running on one of those days (at present, I don't think Erik or Adam could show up on those days, but I'm not sure; Adam might be able to).

There's another guy (by the name of James) who moved to the area recently and may be joining our group at some point, and he seemed to be fairly familiar with various RPGs when I talked to him, but I don't know if/when he'll be showing up for any game sessions. Seems that he's busy getting situated with an apartment and stuff for now, so it may be a few weeks give or take before I can get any definitive answer from him in that regard.

I'm fine with other folks DMing or me DMing, whichever (though I'd kind of prefer that any 3rd campaign at ManaWerx be DMed by someone else, if possible). The current campaigns on Thursdays and Saturdays can be alternated or something (my original plan was to run them on alternating Saturdays anyhow) if folks want to play or run a different campaign.


I dunno about Erik, but me and Adam at least are familiar with more systems than just D&D and d20 Modern. I just don't think we have the materials to GM any other systems ourselves, other than Shadowrun 3rd Edition (for which I only have 2 books at present, though). I'm one book short (the GMG) of being able to run Everquest d20, and likewise for Monte Cook's Arcana Unearthed/Evolved (I only have the first book for that).

Don't know if Adam has any non-d20 books or not, but I certainly don't (aside from a few 2E AD&D materials and two SR3 books). Erik's only gotten into RPGs with 3.5 D&D, so I don't think he has any non-3.5 D&D books himself.

While I'm not new to the area myself, I'm just begining to look for a group. I can most likely be there for Thursdays D&D and I could DM at some point also. Are you guys currently able to add a player for Thursday?

 

[tylermalan]

Well, I'm good for at least one D&D-game-length (6-8 hrs) time slot all weekend, every weekend (Friday night to Sunday evening). I don't really have time at all during the week.

I'm more interested in playing D&D 3.5, mainly because that's my favorite system right now and when you haven't played in awhile, you always want to go back to what you really crave. However, I would definitely play whatever. I could also DM, but only 3.5.

As for books, I have all the core books for 3.5 plus a few others, but none of the splat books. For d20 Modern, I only have the main first core rulebook.

Like I said, I'll play anything, and I can DM 3.5. I actually own the d20 Modern book because I was reading every William Gibson book ever a few months ago, and badly wanted to run a cyberpunk game, which means I might be persuaded to do that, also. Any time during the weekend is fine!

At present it's just me (John), Adam, and Erik, since other folks' work schedules changed months ago and they couldn't show up anymore. So there's certainly room.

Due to the time we start play (and when the store closes), the Thursday and Saturday game sessions are around 3 hours in length, occasionally 4 or 5 hours. I don't know if we could start earlier on Saturdays (it's possible, at present we only start that late on Saturdays because the alternative for Erik would be to start at noon and play till 5 or so), but we can't start any earlier on Thursdays.

 

[tylermalan]

Ok! Well, is anyone else on here willing to jump in games or start new ones?

I ran the first half of Expedition to Castle Ravenloft for a few friends, but never got a chance to finish it. If no one else wanted to DM and everyone wanted to start a new game, I would want to run that.

 

[JoeStock]

I'm certainly up for playing and in the next few weeks I should be able to DM once I get my other books out of storage.

Are we talking this Thursday or down the road?

 

[tylermalan]

Well, I will only be able to play on the weekends, but I could do it this weekend.

Well, I will only be able to play on the weekends, but I could do it this weekend.

Looking for a 3.5 game here as well.
