Greetings...
I see we have at least on other Torontoian here... so, I thought I would let you know...
I am part of the
Toronto Role-Playing Association a loose knit bunch of people who like to hook people up with other people looking to run/play games. Not just RPGs, but CCGs and board games and the like.
We also gather once a month downtown at a pub to do the gamer thing. Talking about gaming, playing a couple of quick games, and perhaps find a couple of fellow gamers looking for a game, or a GM looking to start up a game. But they always do a couple of games of MtG if your into that. Or you can bring your own game down.
Unfortunately, this month's social was on this past Wednesday, where an exciting game of D&D Minis was run, along with Space Munchkin, and Robo-Rally.
Everyone is more than welcome to join the TRPA. In fact, we love to see new faces and make new friends.
If you want, your more than welcome to jump onto our
Forum Message Board.
Also, there are a couple of other events I'd like to tell you about...
TRPA is also running a gaming-day event known as the Pandemonium Pre-Party on January 27th from 1pm to 10pm, cost: $15. The money will be going towards Pandemonium. But more on that later... If you want to read up about the particulars of this small gaming event,
you can read about it here.
There will be two gaming sessions, with your choice of game: We will be having some Living Greyhawk, some Eberron (run by your's truly), Betrayal, and Intro to D&D using the TRPA Shared World (ie Home Grown)
We will be running a number of games, usually all part of the d20 spectrum. These events tend to be small and comfortable where we have usually anywhere from 20-30 players playing at 5-6 tables. Also, usually people bring other games along, if they aren't in the mood for D&D. But these gaming events are usually small (as compared to a con), warm, kosy and friendly.
If your interested, you can get more information

Also, February 25th-27th, the TPRA and Realmsquest Larp will be hosting the
24th Annual Gaming Convention - Pandemonium.
The convention is being held at the
Delta Toronto East at 2035 Kennedy Road (Kennedy & 401).
As for pricing, if you pre-register for the weekend it's $30 and you can pregister online at
TicketWeb, with a $0.50 service charge. Just look for the Pandemonium event.
At the door, the weekend is going to cost you $45, but you can go just one day, Friday evening, all day Saturday, all day Sunday... or just Saturday Night for the Midnight Costume Ball.
There are eight timeslots during the weekend to play games, including the Mightnight Madness D&D mass player games both Friday Night and Saturday Night.
