Hi guys,

Am a returning 40ker, plus WHFB and FoW player in SE London looking for any opponenets out there?

Does anyone still play in London?

yeah,
I'm in Lewisham.
I play at bromleys games tables and at friends houses or at home.

and I also keep meaning to play at the games club at charing cross on tuesdays, I've only been there once, but they seem friendly enough, £5 a night thou... :(

How old are you?
where are you based?
what armys you got?

PAnic...

I am also based in Lewisham near to the University.

yeah,
how old are you guys?
Not to offend younger gamers, but I'm 29yrs old and I'm open to meeting new gamers over the age of say 20.

Panic.

edit: PM me if your interested in meeting up in a pub or something and we can sort out a game sometime.

Hiya

I'm 29 and live in Lewisham as well! I have one normal gaming partner who is 34 - both of us have been playing GW for over 15 years and are "normal"!

Definitely up for a game - PM sent to you guys.

I haven't seen them at a tournament for a bit, but the South London Warlords used to have a strong 40k contingent.

There is another South London club, but the name escapes me.

Yeah,
I've heard of warlords, i think they are based in dulwich and are a WHFB Games club.

PAnic.

I'm 22, will be easier for me during the week than weekend as I am with GF then, but I am trying to convert her!

Good luck with that. The most I've gotten out of my lady is some gluing action... and I had to return the favour. I saw Sex in the City twice... Worth it?

i play alot in soho
18 btw.

twice... seriously if my girlfriend offered sexual favours every day i would still not be sure sitting through that film a second time would be worth it

I am in london most weeks at the moment flying back down to lincolnshire at the weekends, i may look into some of these clubs

Alright lads, I'm based in New Cross, and looking for a fantasy group, anyone in? (I'm 20 BTW, and can function adequately in the normal world...)

Check your PMs!

Hmm I was thinking about moving to London from the USA then I saw the teaching jobs there pay so little compaired to where I live :(

Awesome! There are some people in Lewisham and New Cross! I'm up for a game of anything, though if anyone wants a game of necromunda, they're more than welcome round mine I live near Lewisham DLR

I am London based. Work in central London and live in Ealing.

I don't have any army though. My Tau are locked up in a warehouse in Tokyo.

I would say I am up for a few games with a young lad in Soho but it could be misinterpreted.

Hey Thunderchild I also live near Lewisham DLR - drop me a line on PM and we can get a game organised soon.
Looks like there are quite a few players in the Lewisham/NC area!

I am in Bow, East London, just 3 minutes walk from the DLR that gets me to Lewisham in 30 minutes or so. May be able to get some of my mates to play, but more likely need to find W40K players... I am a 30 year old, returning after 15 years away!!

No board at home, so need to find elsewhere to play.

Does the wargaming club out of the University of Westminster still run.

We used to meet up at The Plaza GW on Oxford street at 5pm on a Tuesday night, head down to the University on Regent Street and play in the hall/ballroom. All the table and terrain were in a locked room.

50 or so members at the time.

Then all the >18yos would head to a nearby pub basement, play pool and get drunk until midnight.

Happy days.
Of course I left in 2000.....

yeah,
I'm sure if one of us got motivated enough we could find a place in lewisham to get a weekly/monthly games night rolling!?

Panic...

We ought to keep this thread alive. I would be interested in a W40k night once a month, maybe twice a month.

yeah,
I play 40K with a bunch of friends of mine... mostly at my house...

We also play Blood bowl with a few guys in Lewisham, we're talking of starting our next league soon Probabily in February, we need to set a day of the month and a venue... during the last season we played a few games at the fox and firkin, this worked out untill they dimmed the lights too much...

We are looking into possibily starting necromunda/=I=munda at some point in the future.

I'd be more than willing to meet you guys in a pub to discuss getting a game sometime.
The only real options for gaming with strangers that I know of are the charing cross gaming club (tuesday nights, £5 a game), or gamesworkshop bromley.
Or someones home.. which is a bit weird meeting online and bringing people to your home...

Panic...

Definitely up for organising a meet up in a Lewisham pub (bring your own stab jacket though!) and we can see if a Necro / 40K / BB roster gets going.

Anyone want to set a date / time / place to get this going?

Yeah, I'd prefer meeting in a pub well in advance of going to someone's home to play. My flat in Bow is A) too small and B) shared, so not viable for playing W40K...

Shame there is no store in Lewisham. Seems a bit of a hub.

This coming week is bad for me, but how about one evening the week after somewhere?

Does anyone know of any clubs in Central-ish London?

I live in Camden and could do with playing some new people instead of the same two friends all the time... :-)

Meeting in a pub sounds good, anyone know of any good pubs in lewisham? The ones I go to are in greenwich or blackheath. There's an awesome one in greenwich called 'the greenwich union' but it might be a bit of a mission for some to get to, as it's a walk from any stations and bus stops :/

If anyone has any preferences for pubs in the area suggest them!

I've heard of some place by Charing Cross but know no details.

How is Cutty Sark for people? Better or worse than Lewisham. If Lewisham is best for people it is easy for me, but I know no pubs there, whereas there are some decent ones by Cutty Sark.

There's a gaming club called the Cross Gaming Club just next to Charing Cross station...

www.crossgc.com

I'd be up for meeting in New Cross or Lewisham or Greenwich - that seems to be where most people are. Anywhere near a tube/DLR is best probably.

New Cross Gate - Hobgoblin
New Cross - Amersham Arms
Greenwich - Admiral Hardy (Cutty Sark DLR)
Greenwich - Coach & Horses (Cutty Sark DLR)

is there a pub near lewisham train station that isn't completely rubbish?

All of these are equally far away from me. Please, everyone state your preferences.

yeah,
To meet up, any pub in the area is good for me.
I'll add my local 'the fox and firkin' to the list of options.

the reason the charing cross place works is because they have a basement where the gamers play away from the other drinkers.

If we are to start a gaming club in lewisham, we need to find a pub with a separate area to game in.
I think some pubs have meetings rooms.
or If anyone knows of a community centre type place.

Panic...
