Thread inspired by Where Do You Shop? and I researched this before posting. From what I found, no one has done this thread in 5 months. In Dakka time that's like 300 years. So, that said... where do you game?

At my house. Its big, free food and i don't have to worry about going to hell and back again.

At my FLGS.

Nowhere.

Same here. I have a full-time game table in the same room I do my painting /modeling. My wife is pretty awesome like that.

Combination of our FLGS and my place. Sucks that our FLGS closes at 7pm...

In my apartment.

Private club (dedicated game room at friends house).

At my LGS. While I am eventually getting a board and terrain back together, my LGS is an awesome place to play.

Private club.

We have our own terrain, tables and even have beer available.
We run our own tournaments (Battle in the Vines (40k) and Thunderstomp (WHFB)) and these events still include the beer being available.
We are open to new members (and we even accept lapsed members back into our ranks).

No pressure from "buy where you play" - we aren't a shop.
We don't even care if you want to play 40kays with non-GW models.

Or even FoW with non-battlefront models (because 15mm WW2 is soooooo uncommon anyway).

At a couple of FLGS, but mostly at my university's library.

My uni has the BEST LIBRARY EVER. Hell, it was my librarian who got me into 40K in the first place, damn him. XD

I play at home. I'm always trying to find people in my area that are interested in playing 40k or fantasy but they are hard to find so my gaming group is tiny.

We play at home on the floor using the conveniently size mat that just happens to be big enough for a game... doesn't sound that great, but oddly enough we're starting to get more and more people playing here with us XD

Still need to make a proper table, though

Edit: ROFL sniped by my girlfriend XD

A local wargames club held in a nearby church hall.

My home. I am fortunate enough to have a dedicated games room.

At local GW.

My home or one of my friends homes. I've only played 40k at a game store twice, but that was with a buddy that lived on the other side of town.

Game table at home with a fridge filled with beer and food, lots of terrain, and we can game until midnight if we want.

or

At my store, with 12 tables two fridges filled with beer and food, lots of terrain, and we can game until midnight if we want.

Wins thread.

I game about bi-weekly with my club. Here's the breakdown of where we meet to game.

My FLGS. Chicagoland Games: Dice Dojo.
80% of the time. They've got plenty of nice tables, reasonalby good terrain and are fairly well located by virtue of geography or Public Transit for most members.

My Home.
10% Not as conveniently located, but fairly central, and I have a 4x7 table with good terrain.

Other member's homes.
5% From time to time, especially for smaller games it's a nice change of pace. Even though most of them don't have a full game table, we all have terrain, and many of our games don't require much space.

5% Other FGS, Games Plus
It ain't local, but they're friendly, with plenty of gaming space and more miniatures than I've ever seein in a single store.

Usually every other week with my gaming group! Plus any pick up games that happen from time to time! We usually set up at one of our homes that way we can enjoy the game at our leisure!

Its rare that we'll play at a GW or FLGS!

+1

Also: no TFGs, can play when I want as late as I want, and no need to pack up/transport my stuff.

Endgame. As often as I can.

Wonderful places, awesome spaces, and friendly faces.

I mostly play 40k in a club (my appartment is too small for a descent game table), RPG and boardgames at home generally.

Home, and my FLGS, my local GW I hate, due to the abundance of TFG's, one appears to be deaf so shouts continuously, one is the manager who goes into a massive nerd rage when I asked if he knew why they switched to resin, and also put the price up. At my local GW, if they know you even so much as play another game that isn't GW, even if you never mention it in the store, you get treated differently by the fanboys and staff. I really should no have just written that rant....

But yeah, FLGS, and home, usually home though as there is a small fee at my FLGS.

I'm not that much of a gamer, but when I do, it's at my local GW. Which, oddly, has no TFGs that I know of.

Apartment dining room table. Kinda small, but it works well for low-point games.

At home, at gaming club and rarely in the local gaming store (very noisy and very narrow shop).

Borderlands in G-Vegas, SC; and my house

2 choices of FLGS for me. One is 15 mins by foot, the other 15 mins by taxi (which over here is ridiculously cheap. About 2 pounds for the taxi ride). Same goes for my mates so we just arrange a day and place then head off.

We do have a GW at a reasonable distance as well but we don't really like to go there. Playing games on a table with hardly any terrain and being told to pack up if they need an intro game isn't worth the hassle.
