Hey everyone, I'm Chris.
I've lived in my hometown most of my life, and it's time for something new, so I'm saving up to move to Boston. I have to get my knee surgery and go through rehab first, and I need to save up some money, so it'll be at least 6-8 months, but I'd like to know some people out there, and maybe find a group to get involved with when I get there.
Anyway, I've been gaming on and off for 13 years, mostly D&D and it's branches, but I also really enjoy Shadowrun, Rifts, Palladium Fantasy, Star Wars (prefer D6, or SAGA, but will play d20), and old World of Darkness (with a preference for Werewolf).
I'm a 25 year old punk rocker, musician, and activist with very strong anarchist philosophy, and I am a carpenter by trade.
So if you're from Boston, hit me up, I'd like to know more about the gaming scene there, and maybe make a few friends before I go.
Thanks
Chris,
there's a couple of Boston area groups that have posted in Gamer Connection here. Just search Gamer Connection for Boston.
There are a number of excellent Paizonians in the Boston area. I'm up here too. Haven't played face to face in decades, so I can't give you any more than that. Good luck finding a game.
What's up Chris, I posted the Sunday Boston thread a few weeks back.
Here is my email Keith_the_zombie@hotmail.com

I haven't lived in Boston since 2001 or so, but for the 15 years prior to that I always found it to have a strong gaming scene. I doubt much has changed in that respect; Boston is and always has been a college town, and college kids play an inordinate amount of RPGs.
At the time I was there two of the best and oldest gaming stores were Pandemonium Books in Harvard Square in Cambridge and the Compleat Strategist on Comm Ave. New England Comics carried gaming stuff, too, though more as a sideline to their comic merch. Still, they were everywhere, so if you can't get to Pandemonium or CS you can probably find one of those local.
Lastly, if you're looking for discontinued stuff, or just like books in general, you should hit up the NE Mobile Book Fair out in Needham Heights (suburbs, but worth the drive). It's not actually mobile, but does carry a huge variety of books for dirt-cheap prices; if you're willing to hunt through the stacks a bit, you'll usually find some RPG material.
