Hey all,
I'm thinking about running a PFRPG (or N-PFRPG, a little something secret and special) campaign at my FLGS in Poughkeepsie. I expect I'd need the group to help me with some intermittent playtesting, too. Anyone local enough to Poughkeepsie, NY to have an interest? Haven't picked the day yet. Would like to hear from potential players.
- Lou
Anyone? Anyone?
I'm about two hours away...but if it was a weekend game, perferably Saturday - I'm up for it.
(I'll get up early and be there in time. I hate to keep gamers waiting. :) )

I'm waiting for confirmation from the game store, but it looks like they're offering me Monday nights.
That would put the kibosh on it for me. The two hour train ride from the Bronx to Poughkeepsie would be lovely on a Saturday morning, but on a week night I'd have to be insane to try it. Good luck getting a group together, LA.

Thanks man. I'm so isolated up here and can't sell my house. :^(

I feel your pain. I'm at the far north end of the Bronx, and I don't think I could pay people from other boroughs to come up here to game. It seems tempting at times to pay an extra two grand in rent a month to get a place in Manhattan so that I could recruit new players.

Are you on Nerdnyc, and have you heard of the GGG? Maybe they could be useful to you.

Lou, if I weren't so far/beholden to public transportation, I would jump on this game like [inappropriate metaphor removed for the benefit of the children]. Any way to run it half-way between Poughkeepsie and NYC?
Unfortunately, not. Gah. It'd have been awesome to have you. *sigh* This has been my problem after moving up here. My home, child, wife responsibilities make the travel time so insurmountable for me. The travel time makes it insurmountable for my friends, NYC folk, etc. f it weren't for John Stavrapolous coming up every now and then, I'd only write and never play.
@Fatespinnner - thanks, my man.

Dude, you're in Poughkeepsie? That's almost around the damn corner from me, and my wife's family lives in the area. Are you at Crazy Egor's, or the other gamestore?
If you get desperate enough to travel, you're welcome to my Liberty group. We play on Sundays.

Varianor?! You're near Poughkeepsie?! AWESOME! I'm at the other game store, the Dragon's Den on Rt. 9, next to the Barne's and Noble. Oh please say you'll game with me!
I'm like, 1.5 hours away. But I might be able to drop in for a weekend or something! If there's a gameday or summat, please let me know. That would be awesome.

Damn. You're such a tease. 1.5 north or south of me? If south, you should check out nerdnyc.com. They have Recess, an bi-annual game day, and its a blast. We could hook up there.
East. Across the Litchfield Hills. K, I'll look up your recommendation.
Hey - I'm in Brewster and might be up for this. Do tell more!
Recess' next gameday runs completely across a weekend with the wife and a group of old college friends. I'll shoot for the next one!

Lou,
If it was a Saturday, the misses and I would travel all the way from Central CT to game with you. Weekdays are just rough for us.
Who do we have to contact to petition for Saturday game?
Awww, thanks Deathboy. My wife would be the one to petition -- but only after she proposes on her dissertation! She's very supportive of my gaming, and I might be able to launch a Saturday game after that. We'll have to see.
Hey, I always wondered if you took your board name from the Nightside books?

Actually no. It came from a Vampire LARP character I played. The costuming was pretty interesting and it really got everyone interested in me the first time I showed up. The name sort of stuck after that.
As for your wife and her work, no problem. I totally understand as my wife is finishing her fraud certification in accounting.
I'm prob the closest without living there lol. I live in Kingston, about a 15-30 min drive, depending lol. The only issue is that I can't drive. But I do know where your trying to have it. I love Dragon's Den. I'd be more then willing to try and help ya out.
Edit: And the thought of meeting fellow paizonians is a nice bonus lol.

Well, I'll certainly let you know when the game is going to be, just in case. It's starting to look like a Mon. or Tr. In my happiest world it starts Tr at around 3 or 4pm. In my next happiest Tr. around 6pm and the the game moves to a second location and continues after the store closes.
Still waiting to hear from players, but as of now it looks like 3 are lined up, including Greengrunt, who plans to drive 3 hours from Binghamton to play! That dude is one hardcore Paizonian!
I see there's a thread about an Albany Gameday over at ENWorld. Anyone thinking of going?
Date is 10/3. Linky to thread:

Would Tr stand for Thursday? If so then I might have a slight prob as thats when I normally have my own game run lol. I could prob move it to Wensday. Either day should work out for me.
I am now officially running a Lands of the Jade Oath game at the Albany GameDay. Signups in the ENWorld thread.

How about next Thursday 3pm? If that's too early, let me know. Store closes 9pm but will stay open to 10pm for us most nights. I like 6 hour sessions or so. And absolutely, friends of yours would be welcome. Let me know how many, as I don't want the table to be over 6.
I think we're at 4 (including you - not including any friends) now.
I'm getting excited!

I'll see if I'll be free but barring any unknowns I should be good. I might be able to get atleast one of my friends, our local card shop was closed so I wasn't able to chat with anyone yet lol. I'll keep ya posted on that. In any case, I'll be wearing a dragon hat for easy ID.

Thanks for the link. I get to Albany AND Poughkeepsie a couple of times a month and this looks like fun.
Is there a list of what's being played/ run?
I go to Oneonta almost every month, and it's not a bad college town. The chicken shack is worth it for the food alone, but the local game store is doing more now to suppport the hobby and there are a lot of gamers.
So, is anyone else hitting Albany Game Day?
He's got spots open if anyone wants to run Pathfinder (And I've got a hotel room for Friday and Saterday nights if someone wants a pick-up game...)
Just a reminder and confirmation. I'll be at the Dragon's Den tomorrow on Rt. 9 at 3pm. People are schedule to arrive between 3 and 4, so we probably won't get started until 4ish. See you there!
I'll be in NEw Paltz Monday night and Poughkeepsie part of Tuesday( and Tuesday Evening)
You gonna be around?|

Stopped in to Dragons Den. Not easy to fins but well worth the trip.
Awesome store!
For any of you in the Hudson Valley, they have a nice assortment of RPGS, new and used, and they are the first strore Ive seen in upstate NY to have Pathfinder Products on the shelf and to talk up the game to boot!
Very friendly. (And they knew you before I even said your name.)
Lucky bugger to have a cool game store like this nearby,.
