I'm all Fantasy for now
Anyone down for some Fantasy Games on Sat?

Anyone up for early morning games on Saturday? Let me know.

I'm thinking of getting back into wargaming again after an almost year-long hiatus. I know that Legends and Meeplemart are the two most popular spots on this board, but does anyone frequent Friendly Troll or Duelling Grounds? Those are the two stores I'm most easily able to get to (aside from GW Lawrence that is).

I know some of the guys frequent Friendly Troll, and I have heard a few people mention Duelling Grounds as well. I went to Friendly Troll ONCE during advertised 'hours of business' to simply end up standing out front for 1 hour before leaving. Called many times and no one answered. Spoke with manager/owner/employee the next day to complain, and was told that basically, lots of the workers are students, so sometimes it's hard to get them in on time. I would never go back. I love Legends, and my basement

Hey Rythem/CGB/Optimus,

Anyone down for a game this weekend?
If there's no Fantasy then I might go play 40k

I get the impression, then, that Friendly Troll is the sort of place where you have to arrange a meeting with an opponent beforehand. Ditto for Duelling Grounds.

I've never been to Legends, to be honest-- I keep hearing amazing things about it, but having to take the YRT all the way to Woodbridge never struck me as ideal. It's the same problem I have with Meeplemart, though at least the TTC is somewhat cheaper.

With Legends, you are best to arrange games during the week, The only day I can say you can be guaranteed to find players would be Sunday.

It's best to arrange games in advance for all locations, but I would never return to a store that has such disregard for their own posted hours of business. I had arranged the meeting with my opponent, and we both showed and waited to no avail...apparently, we should have also involved the Friendly Troll shopkeeper in our plans

If you are up for early Saturday games, I am always happy to pick people up at the subway station. I will even drop people off afterwards, so long as they don't table me

More Dakka and I will be there Sunday at opening. Doing 2000 pts Klash format, we could use a 3rd!

I'm good for Friendly troll, just let me know when!

They do open later in the day, DEE if I remember you went there right when they we supposed to open. IIRC, I've never seen them open up earlier than 2pm, however the nice thing is they don't close at 9 and usually stay open later (I've walked by at 11pm and they were still open)

Hey I might have to be late by 30mins or so, if you arrive early just set up the table however you like
Sorry about that...

Anyone up for 40k at Legends today?

Anyone want to play later tomorrow 1850? I have a work thing until 430 but free then

Looking for games thursday onwards. I prefer to play downtown toronto either meeple or DG but enjoy legends aswell.

Lmk : )

Ya Aijec I'm generally down for playing at meeplemart as I live closer. Does meeplemart still close at 8? I may be able to meet Thursday at 430 there

Who's down for some Fantasy Saturday? Playing 2400 for Lords of War.

If things don't work out, i'm free thursday if either of you want to make the trip up to legends . Anytime after 2pm on thursday works for me, preferably 1850+.

I might swing by and watch you guys game/ pick up a game if anyone is hanging around and wants to play. Lords of war is the tournie he is going to for fantasy, which is also where the 2400 pt value, that we have been using lately, came from.

Rythem- let's play I didn't hear back from anyone. Let's play at merplemart tho. I'll be using a mostly new experimental list at 1850 so take that for what it's worth

I'd be fine with that, except I was going to pick up something I ordered in at legends at the same time, rather not make 2 trips if I could avoid it.

Hmm experimental list you say, maybe I should come up with something weird to field.

Sure, I am down hope you don't table me like Rythem does

I really like legends but I'm a bit exhausted from driving 1-2 hrs north through rush hour. Let me know if you want to meeplemart after all tho, I'll grab my stuff after work

Yeah I would have to deal with the same rush hour traffic driving up to legends and than down and across Toronto to get to meeplemart. Guess I will pass as well, 5pm is really not a good time to be trying to get anywhere in around the Toronto area.

Alright I hear ya
