My wife and I just moved to Alexandria. We'd love to find a weekly game, preferably on a weeknight. We play a lot of 4e but would be happy to try most other stuff. The group is more important than the game.

We've also tried and liked: Cortex (the BSG and Serenity system), Mutants and Masterminds (2nd or 3rd), Dread, Cthulhu, retro D&D, Secret Fire, and others. The wife would love to try Mouseguard.

We'd also be up for board games.

Only things we would be less interested in would be 3e (still burned out), WoD, Shadowrun, or Rifts. But maybe worth it depending on the particulars (i.e., maybe a low magic or Arcana Unearthed game, etc.)

Welcome to the area!

How far are you looking to be able to travel? Most games I know if, since weekends are my preference, are on Saturdays, but there are places around you can look, along with the people here. I personally live in Leesburg, but have sorta burned out on live groups for the time being, so I'm playing PbP here.

There is a 2nd Edition AD&D game going on in Chantilly's Game Parlor that I have sat in on a session of, seems like a fun group. Oldschooldnd, I believe is the fellow's handle here gm'ing the game. He's having issues with an overloaded work schedule at the moment, but you can give him a ping if you're interested.

There is also Game Parlor in Woodbridge, which might be closer for you. The should have their calendar online of their bigger regular games, but there is usually a smaller game or two going on.

Again, welcome to the area!

The Woodbridge store closed up several months ago. The Chantilly store is still open as far as I know ( I was in there a couple weeks ago).

Nobody who moves to this area ever seems to land in our neck of the woods ( Fredericksburg/Stafford area). I do have one player who commutes to the game from DC but he is a looney.

Welcome, and I hope you find a group soon.

I know that closed their old location and moved a few stores down in the same shopping center in Woodbridge sometime last year, so they actually closed that location totally? Bummer. All the nice people who used to staff the Chantilly store transferred there when it opened.

There's a little place up here in Ashburn called Huzzah. Sort of a little cozy, hole in the wall kind of place, but the people there are great and very casual and friendly folks. haven't actually gamed there myself, just walked through with a friend of mine.

Welcome to the area [MENTION=2446]DonAdam[/MENTION]. The DC area is packed with gaming opportunities and has a huge D&D and Pathfinder following. I'm sure we'll be able to find you a group in no time.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

I went to grad school at GMU, so I know the area game stores reasonably well. Unfortunately Chantilly's too far to drive on the weekdays.

I should add that we're happy to host a game as well, I just don't have time to run anything.

DonAdam,

I'm looking to start up a 4e home game in the near future (also in Alexandria), although I haven't started recruiting yet. Still, I figured I'd extend the invitation PM me if you're interested!

Hi, I just saw this thread. My wife and I also just moved to Alexandria and are also looking for a game. If you do end up starting one, we'd love to join.

As soon as I get my butt down there (hopefully at the start of the new year), I plan on either starting a game and/or starting one.

I also just moved into the area, and I'm down around Stafford/Fredericksburg. I am a long-time DM/player, and ran several campaigns prior to my move. I've been running 4e the most the last few years, but willing to play about anything. If there's a group forming or one looking for players, drop me a line!
