How to promote the game in a new area (mexico city)

[Verleros]

I have been playing about 3 years pathfinder and i have to move from my city

where i lived i had the chance to meet great characters such as
Miguel Rosales

but now i'm living in this huge monstrosity of city, and even though there are a lot of people, i haven't found a group of pathfinder players,

I once started a group of WoWTCG players before blizzard cut down the license from kritpozoic,

but now i'm alone in this new, big and dangerous city and it's kinda hard to start from a scratch.

someone here has tips or suggestions?

the only equipment i could bring was the pathfinder core rulebook (i came hopping to find some other players)

so before starting buying all the needed stuff (minis, dices, etc)

i want to have a good plan of actions before starting.

I'd look for shops and stores that sell related products, first off. Dedicated gaming stores primarily (I'd think a place as big as Mexico City would have something like that, but it might not be in your vicinity). Find that, then just start asking people if they know of anyone who is interested. Set up notices that you want to find a group.

If there aren't any such gaming stores, try normal bookstores that carry RPG products, same procedure.

Lots of gaming related forums have sections specifically for this type of problem - helping players find each other in the vast sea of nobodies.

Lastly, you can just try to make friends and see if they are interested. Or just hang up notes around town that there's a new gamer in the area who's looking for a group. Be prepared to be the host, though, especially if you are the center of any new group.

Good luck.

When I went to find Pathfinder Gamers when my city had no shop nearby I went to meetup.org(com?). The problem I have always had is that we gamers are pretty reclusive.

I took a look at Mexico City and see if I could find a game shop, but I struck out, I found a lot of toy shops and costume shops, but that was it. I wish you best of luck!

EDIT: I did find Avatar Games and Hobbies, but it is 2.5 hours north of Mexico City Federal District.

Avatar Games.Hobbies
Av. Universidad 17-7 Poniente
76000 Santiago de Querétaro, QRO
Mexico

Sorry I cant help out much, I live in Richmond, Virginia, USA so I do not really know the area well enough for informed decisions.

thank you guys,

i'm following your advices , and i have found already one player,
and I'm seducing my room mates into the amazing world of golarion

i also went to one store and it was swarmed of players, but, they were only playing heroclix.... i felt like a magic player in a yugi-oh store.

thank you for the information zach, but unfortunately avatar games hobbies is actually on another county and it's kinda hard to reach.

i'm not giving up !!,
i'll try to keep this post alive writing my advance, so maybe i can find more players,

thank you guys :)
