Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gorok" data-source="post: 3234151" data-attributes="member: 16099">I have been in the Phoenix since 1964 (other than attending college at USC in L.A.).  Gaming is quite active in the local area.  I know of 3 local gaming-only conventions spread through the year (DarkCon in January, Phoenix Con Games in July, and Hexacon in October).  In addition, several sci-fi conventions have gaming sessions scheduled along with their typical agenda items.   Since I am an RPGA member, I participate with two very active groups of Living XXX gamers (mainly Living Greyhawk, although Living Arcanis and Living Spycraft has their devotees here as well) that have monthly/bi-weekly gaming sessions/meetings throughout the valley.   I live in the west side of Phoenix, and can recommend a store called "Imperial Outpost", at 51st Ave & Thunderbird.  It's near where I live, so I'm partial, but the owner/staff there is quite enthusiatic and has quite a good setup.  Lots of large tables spread through the majority of the store, so lots of gaming sessions can go off in the store all the time.  There are also several other active, dynamic stores, but they are on the other side of town, so I tend to not go there as much.   I assume you are mainly talking about roleplaying groups when you asked about local gaming groups.  If you want more historical, miniatures, boardgames, etc., I know of other groups which emphasize such things as well.   Send me a PM if you want, and I can give more details (meeting locations, gaming contacts, addresses, times of meetings, etc.).   And, welcome soon to the Phoenix area (although moving here in August could not be at a worst time...the weather WILL get better, honest  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />  )!  I love living here, and cannot imagine living anywhere else!</blockquote>
