You can pick up gaming books at the local Barnes & Noble but the selection is kinda limited. There's also a Games Workshop out here but that mostly caters to miniature gamers. Of the two "gamer communities" out here I'd have to go with NerdNyc as they seem to be the more active and friendly group (at least as far as their online personas go and from what I can tell on their message boards). I havent gotten a chance to make it to any the D&D Meetups yet I might be able to make the one on Nov 11 depending on my schedule. I've never been to King's Games out in Brooklyn (from where I live it's just TOO far to go) but I've heard that it's not a bad store at all. If I lived closer I might frequent it but since I work about a block away from the Strategist in Manhattan I frequent that store instead. I've lived here pretty much all my life and have met quite a few gamers, but overall I think that there's really so much more to do in NY that gaming for a lot of people it isnt a priority or at least not the top priority. My own gaming group is in a state of flux where everyone is pretty busy or has other things going on. I run a D&D and Champions game, and one of the other guys runs a homebrew D&D game. I'm pretty much looking to find other people to game with myself, but I'd just as soon NOT game at all than settle for a group that doesnt meet my gaming needs. I'm not a powergamer but I'm not one of these full immersion freaks either. I like my share of combat but there has to be a reason for the fighting. Unlike alot of gamers these days I LOVE a good dungeon crawl, and if a few sessions go by without some sort of excitement I get bored. Basically I game to have fun, not to prove mental superiority or just for the sake of "serious" roleplaying.PS. You might want to check out Nuetral Ground. I only venture in there for the Confrontation miniatures and even then I get in and then GET OUT. It has the stench of unwashed gamer and therefore it's not a place that I want to frequent.</blockquote>
