[swordsmasher]

Hey all,
I might be moving to New York City soon, and I was wondering what kinds of gaming Stores there are, and what games are popular in the hot spots. thanks for any help.

NYC itself has Compleat Strategist on East 33rd, about a block from the Empire State building and Neutral Ground, which I think is somewhere in the teens or twenties. Games Workshop also has a store on 8th or 9th Street near NYU. There are also a couple of stores in Brooklyn and northern New Jersey, but what you'll find in nearly all of the NYC metro area gaming store is that RPG gaming plays a distant second fiddle to something else, (comics, anime, minis, wargames, etc.).

In my experience, I wouldn't say that's true of Compleat Strategist or Neutral Ground, the two major sources for RPGs in Manhattan.

I tend to go to Neutral Ground or Complete Strategist, but I also buy stuff on-line.

well thanks guys for the support.

i'll be heading down that way this upcoming weekend (i live up in Ticonderoga, about 6 hours north) to scope out employment prospects, visit my wifes family, and of course the most important thing is scoping the gaming scene, so i'll definitely have to check out the stores you guys mentioned.

Feel free to PM me if you need any help/tips. I've actually been looking for a gaming group for a while, and have had some offers via Compleat Strat.
