Hello,

Any 40k players from Calgary?

depends where in Hellgary you live

Why does it depend where I live in Calgary?

its a big place, and theres people all over who play, but not everyone from calgary is on dakka. Im up in the far West-south west.

My guess is not everyone drives, so they would have to take public transit to get around. I guess if people drive then location is not a problem, but if taking public transit, then yes location would matter since alot of people do not want to spend alot to time traveling on public transportation or waiting for it.

That's fair,

I actually live in Claresholm (an hour and a half out of Calgary), but, I usually drive in on Mondays to go to 40k night at Chinook.

Sentry Box, and Myth Games also have gaming nights as well. All are easily accessible by transit.

not so for me, Its about an hour killed just to get to Sentry box. Myth is out of the question, thats about 2 hours ride, and I don't set foot into a GW if I can avoid it (and its an hour and a half)

Well, that sucks.

Anyone else from Calgary?

theres a bunch of guys from the SW about a click or two from where I live... most of them drive, but they also have busy lives. I've tried going to sentry box on sundays but the schedule never works out for me (the real reason I never been there for gaming)

Yo Yo Yo! Don't forget about 'ol murdog! Sunday at the box doesn't work well for me either, a handful of times a year is all i get out there for.

I'm more into the late-night gaming, as I've got work/school/kids/wife 'till evening/bedtime. Sometimes I can get out on a weekend. I'm in the SW as well, up Bow Trail past Sarcee. I can host, and I've got a car to travel.

Poda, we gonna try and get a game going again? The last time you called about half an hour after I was kidnapped to Canmore for a poker game, and then I accidentally deleted the message with your number. Sorry, I felt bad, especially since you mentioned beer...

I won't be having any glorious, all-weekend warhammerfests anytime soon, but maybe we can try an evening battle...

What's your gaming schedule like, CLM?

I won;t be able to get anything for months. I am now a virtual slave of work and school. I however, also have the space and hardware to host.... just... not exactly the time.

Naw, once you said you was out for poker i knew you were gonna have a blast. I had a poker game at my house about a month-two ago, it was a blast (so were the people that became party favors once they had a few too many)

who knows, I might actually get an army painted by end of semester too. I need to retouch my Iron Warriors, do my loyalists and get cracing on my thousand sons. I also need to finish them HW and specialist guardsmen... sigh.... and then theres the tyranids that need finishing...... and the eldar I just started picking up................ oh my.....

I'm in the NE...I haven't played in years though! haha

quanz, i have a feeling i know you...

Is that a bad thing? lol
If you hung around Sunridge at all about 7 years ago then yeah.

Who are you?

yeah, never mind, I went to sunridge now and again, but i didnt really hang around there,.... never mind me

I don't always play in Calgary, but when I do, I play at the Sentry Box.

Kickass store, awesome boards, and we have a pretty damn good community there too. Only problem is that I'm not there 8 months of the year. Sundays at around noon is the standard 40k time.

I won't be back until the summer, with the exception being the occasional holiday, but the rest of the community there is pretty strong.

HAHA! you are vince!

No, I'm Matthew.

>=/

damn

I also just met a pile of guys at you of c who also do wargaming. Theres a lot of people here, just not all of them are necesarily available

Where do you play poda?

I haven't played since the thaw of spring. I got about two games in at my house since then. School grind though.... I only have time to host on a saturday evening now. West-southwest, three stone throws from west-side recreactional

Anyone down for a huge Saturday game sometime then?
I have 1500 in chaos I want to practice with again. I haven't played in about 7 years lol

I know the guys at the Sentry Box are usually down for anything, but that's usually a Sunday thing.

I can't really say anything myself, since I'm not currently living in Calgary.

I'm up to play some 40k if anyone is down. Fairly new to wargaming but really having fun with it since I started. Hit me up if anyone wants to play.

As I've said, Sunday at Sentry Box (from noon on) is probably the best place and time to play. Lovely boards, great community, and a wonderful time. I've been playing there since I was brand new to the hobby.

Actually, I just remembered mydance group will be going on a wee break after thanksgiving... hmmm i shall have to pondermize this.

I don't know if I'll be home for Thanksgiving, but if you're around for Xmas, I'll definitely be in Calgary for that.

Sunday's I am in class 10-5 :(

Alright Fafnir, guess I may see you on Sunday then.

You won't see me. I won't be in Calgary for quite a while.
