Welcome to Dakka, and gaming in the Empire State.

I’m north of Albany, so probably outside your drive range. There is a Player Finder link in the header you might want to check out. It’s been a while since someone was asking for a game in your area, but there are players all over the state. Here’s the latest thread. If you follow my links in those, you should be able to get some help. I try to chime in on all the NY threads, so a search for my posts in this section of the boards should yield some hits.

While not quite the same as face-to-face, if you have questions or need advice, feel free to ask questions in the relevant sections of the board here. It’s always nice to see fresh players enter the hobby.

thanks for the advice Nevelon. ill be sure to check it out. and yea not as good as face to face but anything and everything helps ya know. anyway gonna check out the player finder also. ive been collecting for less than a month and only have a few units but im already hooked haha. this community too is just great. between youtube and the forums here iv'e been getting some excelent help/feedback on what/where to go with my army and this hobby.

Thanks again,
Nick Kane

Check your PMs, or get in touch with me. Might be able to help out.

Hey man, I'm right in cuse and could help you out. Send me a PM. I've been painting for years and just joined a league to play once per week. I'm new to the dice ruling portion of this game. Would love to introduce you to some people that have helped me out with the whole getting started thing.

Yeah, there are a lot of us in Cuse that play at Comix Zone.

Hey Nick,

There's quite a few places you can hit up in upstate. Syracuse has both Play the Game, Read the Story and Comix Zone. Those are both pretty close to you.

If you're up for a bit of a drive, Millennium Games in Rochester probably has the strongest 40K tournament scene (tourney every 2nd Saturday). That's the one I go to the most. Rochester also has Pair a Dice Games and Boldo's armory. Pair a Dice focuses more on fantasy.

Geneva has a small game group. Check out Finger Lakes wargamers on facebook.

Buffalo has a decent sized game group as well. They just threw their first GT event, the Beef and Wing Brawl, and it was a great time.

If you have a weekend day free either the 22nd or 23rd of November, you should swing by Da Boyz GT at the Bristol Harbor Hotel in Canandaigua. I know it's a GT, but consider just hanging out for a while. The event will have the best terrain you'll see outside of Warhammer World. You'll be able to meet up with local hobbyists and other gamers.

Aside from that, swing by our forums: thegrandstrategery.proboards.com

I'm Crispy on the boards. Shoot me a PM (that goes for anyone else in the area). Our club is trying to do more meet-ups and paint clinics too.

thanks guys for all the referrals and options for places to play. looks like this Thursday at comix zone will be my first time doing a meetup with a couple people here on Dakka. Extremely excited about it. maybe ill bring some of my models and paint for some painting tips. do they allow painting at comix zone?

Hey, anyone still in the syracuse area that's looking for a games, I'm going to be in town next monday and tuesday, and was wondering if anyone felt like getting bashed by some orks one of those nights? That is the nights of Oct 10th or 11th.
