Any Gamers in South Carolina?

[deletedmemory]

I am located in the Upstate, looking for games in the kidney of Dungeons and Dragons 3e, or Hackmaster. I am familiar with GURPS Discworld as well....

If all else fails then break out the poker cards, or boardgames. I am layed up with a broken leg for awhile yet so free time is available.

Hi, deletedmemory! There are a couple of us prowling the forums, but not too many.

Both Hand of Evil and myself are from the Palmetto State, and a couple of other posters who aren't nearly so regular. However, neither of us are from your neck of the woods - i'm from the Florence area, myself. Rel's a Raleigh, NC gamer, so he's even farther.

However, you're near Clemson territory, there ought to be quite a bit of gaming in the area - you may want to call local game stores for references, if the forums don't pan out, because many game stores have bulletin boards for "calling all gamers." Wish I could help more, though.

*EDIT* Slaps forhead one other alternative - if you can't find any live gaming action, have you considered the ENWorld Play-By-Post forums? They're not face-to-face, but we've got hundreds of members who regularly game this way, either for fun or because location and circumstances force this to be their only gaming outlet.

If Clemson isn't too far of a commute for you, you might check out the RPGA. I was looking at their events calendar recently for anything within about a 90 minute drive of me, and it seems there are RPGA gamedays at Clemson rather frequently.

I haven't been down to the area in ages, but if Boardwalk & Park Place is still in business at the Haywood Mall in Greenville, you might check there as well. When I was last there they were a shop devoted to all sorts of games, but they had a very healthy RPG section and a "gamers wanted" bulletin board.

Best of luck finding a game.

We game in Spartanburg

I have a gaming group in Spartanburg. We are always looking for new members. We currently have a D&D 3.5 campaign going on Sundays twice a month or so. We have been known to play earlier editions of D&D, SpyCraft, CoC, StarWars and a WWII D20 game we wrote together. For non-D20 stuff we have played James Bond and old Avalon Hill War Games. Our group has a core membership for a long time now and we are fairly good guys with lots of experience. Our great moment of glory was getting to play test for the Lotr game - that is until it went of print (not our fault though ) If you ever want to join us just give me an email at mcr71@charter.net If spartanburg is to far for you then I'll second the post above that advises you to go to BW&PP at the Haywood Mall. They have a board in the back with gamers looking for games, etc. Also alot of the people there game. Further out in Greer a small shop called Let the Games Begin does in house gaming. It has been many years since I've been there - so it may be gone. I think there may be a BW&PP in Anderson too. Good luck I hope you can find a game.

I used to live in Anderson, and every wednesday at the mall was game night. All kinds of games, wargames, board games, rpgs. Don't know if they still do that.

There is a decent game/comic store in Marketplace shopping center on Clemson Blvd as well (just up the road from the mall). They may have a bulletin board or something.

Wow, I didnt realize there were any. I do in fact live near Clemson, about 15 miles or so from the place actually.

Eldar, I live about am hour and a half from Sparkle City (in Anderson), I used to go up there (when I lived in Clinton last year) about twice a week to game. Since then friends have moved on etc, you know how it goes. I will be sending you an email a little later (I have to go to the Ortho today and get my checkup from my booboo in September) or you can email me at Deletedmemory@yahoo.com

Henry, Florence would be a hell of a drive, but thanks so much for the info...

And to everyone else, many many thanks. I have been searching high and low for gamers. The local store here seems to be a bit elitist when it comes to finding players, and Ive used accessdenied.net, wizards of the coast, rpgregistry etc etc, nothing.....

Contemplating a move to SC

Hey all,
It looks like I may be moving to SC in the next 2 1/2 years (a long time I know) to further my career. I am interested to know if there are any known gaming groups in the Charleston area? Also are there any gaming stores in that area?

Hey, y'all! (That's South Carolinian for "Hi, Exile!")

Charleston still has the Green Dragon to my knowledge, and it was a pretty good store in the few times I've visited - it's more of an RPG/New Age & Incense /Archaic Weapons Outlet than a hobby store, but they have a pretty good selection.

As for Charleston gamers, wish I could help you there - I know they exist, given the size of Green Dragon, but where I couldn't say.

Boardwalk and Park Place in the Anderson mall closed a couple of years ago, but I believe the one in Greenville is still active. They hosted the game nights in the Anderson mall, so those are gone too.

There's still the comic book shop in Anderson that used to host games (comics plus?). You'll probably get more of a wargaming crowd, but they might have a gamer's index. It's down main street from the mall, opposite the direction to 85/clemson. It's a little ways past the light near the papa john's and the white jones hardware, on the left (the storefront is facing the mall, not the street, but there's a sign out front).

Sorry I can't be more help; I haven't really looked for gamers in Anderson since I stopped spending large portions of my summer vacation up there.
