There really isn't much down that way anymore. The closest place might be SNEG in Providence or AVID in Milford

Yeah man that sucks.  On a bad day it can take me over an hour to get to BG from Dedham.  On a good day maybe 20 minutes.  It could be worse though...you could be IN Rhode Island where I'm fairly certain there's only 2 gaming stores in the entire state and none of them provide playing space for 40k or anything like that (the hobby store in Newport seems large enough but I don't believe they have game space).

Based on your website you play 40k.  Do you play anything else besides that?  I know it isn't the same but you could try playing some of these games online like how Chess players do play by mail.  I've seen that done for a game I play, War at Sea, and it tends to work.

You could also plan to come to BG for some of the larger events.  The big Mega Battle every January is a huge draw and could be a lot of fun for you.  Would coming to BG every couple months be in the cards?  There's a lot of 40kers here and I'm sure you could get some games in if you came on the weekends.

Oh i never miss a Mega Battle at BG :) i was in the last one and my whole army crashed in burned in their transport... some folks should remember that event :) LOL

But yeah I am going to be modify the site to have other games as well.. FOW, WFB, BFG, etc... also some role playing. but 40k is my main focus as a hobby although I play most other games as well.
