Visiting Houston, Tx & Huntsville, Tx from 13April to 20April 2011 Looking for a PFS game or two.
I'm heading South and West to visit family and attend a wedding in Huntsville, TX on Saturday the 16th. I'll be spending most of the time on the North side of town near the Spring / Woodlands area and wouldn't mind picking up a few games with some local players.
Can anyone recommend a local game/group or game store to visit while I'm back home in Texas.
Hazzard |
While I have never been there, I hear that Fat Ogre Games in the Woodlands is a pretty good place to find a game.
Thank you! Quick research nets the following:
Fat Ogre Games & Comics
www.fatogre.com/
1440 Sawdust Rd # E2
Spring, TX 77380-2954
(281) 292-8444
I'll definitely give them a ring & a clicky on their website.

We run a PFS group every Thursday at Little Wars of Houston from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM. It's extremely close to Spring. We've had two tables for the past month (we just started a month and a half ago) and we're on the verge of needing a third.

Fat Ogre is probably the best gaming store in Houston. It's clean, friendly, has a good selection of Pathfinder and other RPGs. The one area it lacks though is PFS games. I have tried to work something out with the owner a couple times, but his availabilities and my schedule haven't worked meshed very well. That said, I haven't had a chance to get up there for several months, so something may have started that I don't know about. They are very worth the stop even if just to stop in and chat with the friendly staff.
If you want to joins us for some PFS on Thursday at Little Wars:

Thank you! That sounds perfect. What are the times of the games and the scenarios y'all are planning to run? I'll have two characters with me, possibly a third if needed, ideally I'd like to play my main and can let you know fairly rapidly if I've played a scenario or not.
I know exactly where this is at as I grew up in the area and will be visiting family up on 2920 near Kuykendahl and generally hanging with old friends at the Starbucks on Kuykendahl and Louetta.

On the 14th we've got Venture-Captain David Woodfin coming down to zero slot 2-EX The Midnight Mauler for our Comicpalooza DMs. We won't decide which mods we're scheduling other than that until Friday but if you email me a list of the mods you've played (demoyn35 at hotmail) I'll coordinate it so that we offer something you can play. Most of our non-DM players only have characters level 1-4, though, so it will definitely have to be a 1-5 or 1-7 mod.

Thanks for taking the time to respond and help me get in touch with a local gaming group for PFS! Much appreciated! Below is a list of all the scenarios I have played up to this date, I'm still waiting for the scenarios from OrcCon 2011 to be posted to my profile, but they are listed below and I have my chronicles.

Rather than start a new thread, I will bump this one with my questions. I'm moving to Houston next week for a new job, and looking for some PFS action.
Are your Thursday night games still running? If so is there somewhere I should sign up? Are there other venues in the area with PFS games? As I may end up working Thursday evenings once I complete training.

We still play PFS on Thursdays, yes. You can sign up on Facebook (friend demoyn35 (at) hotmail (dot) com). We're also having a mini-convention on Saturday, June 25th at San Jacinto college in Pasadena.
The other regular games are all also still going. There's the Saturday games at San Jac, the Asgaard games (last Sunday of the month), and we're currently trying to start up a semi-regular gameday in Missouri City.

And I wasn't able to find Little Wars for tonight's game. My GPS took me to what looked like an auto body shop with no sign of a game store in sight.
You were probably in the right place. As you pull into the parking area, Little Wars is at the far right end. (Usually the only place with any vehicles in front at that time.) They don't have any big signs or anything, so it's real easy to miss.
However, I believe tonight's game was a no go.

Bumping my old thread!
I have recently returned to the Spring / North Houston area & am LFG for both a Pathfinder campaign & Pathfinder Society.
I also play Warmachine and am looking for groups for that as well as I'm looking to start playing Warhammer 40K.
I have played in a variety of game systems, D&D, AD&D, Rifts, Shadow Run, Iron Kingdoms, Pathfinder, SpyCraft, Fantasy Craft etc.
I've checked out Fat Ogre & Little Wars, both look like good venues. I'd prefer to play on the North side, yet am willing to travel.
Hazzard |
I think the Little Wars game is still running every other Thursday, but I can't confirm.
I'm running a society game every Monday at Asgard Games, but that's downtown Houston.
Yarrgh! Getting to Asgard on Mondays would be tough, I'll check with the folks at Little Wars to see if they still have the game running. Thanks!

Hazzard, I've been trying to set something up in Kingwood. I'm running the Beginner Box demos at stores around here, trying to get something going.
The weeknight games aren't possible for me til summer, so the Asgard / Little Wars options are out.
If you find any PFS on the North side, please let me know. I'll do the same for you.
Hazzard |
Sans_Serif I'm still looking for games on the North side of Houston, Tx in the Spring / The Woodlands / Tomball or Klein areas. I'm just North of Little Wars and South of Fat Ogre in the Woodlands.
I've been Wargaming a lot while looking for either a Pathfinder Society or Pathfinder Campaign and spending a lot of evenings and weekends at Fat Ogre.
I checked out Swords & Superheroes in both Kingwood & Old Towne Spring, but that store, the owners, the employees as well as the crowd isn't for me.
Texas Battle Bunker might be a good resource for you, they're in Kingwood.
I've found a campaign at Fat Ogre which will begin soon, so I'm building a character now for that. Yet, I'm having no luck locating Pathfinder Society games in Houston other than at Asgard.
Here's some game stores in Houston that carry Pathfinder or Paizo products. I'd check their websites and/or contact them.

Thanks Kelly!
I keep seeing the posts for all the great gaming sessions happening at Asgard, but I still can't make that drive.
There has been some interest in games at Fat Ogre, trying to see how many might be interested in some Northside PFS.
Kelly Youngblood |
I've put together an interest/location/preferred date and time survey to help organize new games in Houston at the request of our VC.
You can weigh in at pfs-at-asgard.net/survey.php. All data collected will be used solely for the purpose of organizing Pathfinder games.

swords and superheroes has a pathfinder game on wednesday - It runs from 6-8pm .. the store does not charge to play either ? they ask that you spend a few bucks on drinks or candy once during the whole time your there .. to support the store /i ussaully buy a coke and a candy bar and thats fine , its about $2.50 ? Not sure why thats a problem with people since that is being honest about having to support the place and not being a mooch and not supporting the store you play in like I see at other stores. They are moving to there bigger location this month to 26835 cypresswood ridge .. i never had a problem with the place ...or the employeees.?

Sad to report that Little Wars has closed.
Played in a lot of games at Space City Con 2012 here in Houston, Texas. Big Thanks to Kelly for organizing and running this event! 8 Games played!

Wiz123, I'm not aware of any PFS module that can be completed in 2 hours. Are you certain they play for that time length? I am aware of Swords & Superheroes, yet I am not a fan and I don't want to go further into that.

Understood. There are a few other game stores set to move in/around the Houston area, both Fat Ogre as well as Swords & Superheroes in Spring are moving.
Fat Ogre will be moving approx 2 miles East of its current location, closer to I-45.
S&S will be moving closer to I-45 in Spring.

We still haven't managed to get a group started at Fat Ogre, but Swords and Superheroes has a well-established Saturday group running.
They're doing 3-05: Tide of Twilight tonight, and 27: Our Lady of Silver and #4-01: Rise of the Goblin guild in 2 weeks time.
Signups are on their meetup.

There are PFS gamers in the area and some games being played, but no solid organization.
