Any Players in Bay Area/SF?

[Duke]

I'm moving back into the Bay Area proper come July, and I was hoping to find a store where BFG players can still be found.

Checked out Endgame in Oakland, and while the rep at the counter was very knowledgeable about BFG, he remarked that he hadn't seen the game in a long time.
This was distressing. I expected the Bay to a bastion of leftover BFG. If all else fails, I'm moving to LA down the road, maybe I'd chance the same question there.   

There's a few other places, but they're outta the way.

I'd consider starting a club myself, if the game weren't so prohibitively expensive.

PS. I just finished constructing a beautiful Inquisitorial Cruiser, spitting image of Henderson's original. Painting is the part I'm really dreading.

Hi there!

I'm just starting to get into BFG and live down in Southern California.  I have some friends who used to play ages ago and are starting to dust off their models since I've been asking for opponents and I also have a few friends who are interested in learning. Whenever you move down to LA, give me a shout! I game in Pasadena and down in Orange County so hopefully either of those locations will be close to you.

I am in the East Bay, I have an imperial fleet but haven't played in years but still interested

Hey Bro, I'm about a hour east of SF.  We're pretty close to Sacramento (Sac town).  There are some gits sneaking around out her in da wilderness.  I'd be open to doing something some time. (as long as you let me win!)

I'm through Sacratomato and the City a few times a year and can always drag along a fleet

[timdp]

I'm near Santa Rosa (north bay). Blind Horizon is also near Sac.

Have been thinking about doing a BFG day at a friend's house in Fairfield, which is fairly central to Sac/SF/North bay. Will try to put something together for july or August.

Dear god, I should move to California! 

[Blindhorizon]

Sounds very interesting, I don't have any ships at the moment but i could get something cast up hopefully. I am new to the rules but i could also see if i can get Gun_Wun to come up with his orks also. I'm interested in other specialist games as well, so if anyone has an itch to scratch maybe we can see whats what in norcal.

Ok, so far we have:

Duke
capt044
gun_wun
blind horizon
me (timdps)
My buds: Dave, Greg and possibly Alan


Pretty much assuming our mini BFG con will need to be a Saturday in order to maximize gaming time.

Let's start throwing some dates out there. Duke, when will you be settled in enough to to take a day and evening off to game?

I thought my Saturdays were pretty open in July/Aug, but looking at the calendar I see that that is not the case.

Saturdays that work for me are July 26 and Aug 2.

Anyone else?

[Blindhorizon]

I'd just have to request some time off is all.

I'm through Sacratomato and the City a few times a year and can always drag along a fleet

Would love to finally meet you and get a game in jimmy.

[capt044]

I could make either day

[Gun_wun]

What about a Sunday?  I'm down with getting together, but Saturdays are a tough day for me to sneak away.

[timdp]

Sundays are possible, just usually makes for a shorter gaming day.

Sundays OK for everyone else?

[Blindhorizon]

Should work for me, like I said I just need to get some ships together and learn the rules lol. Will their be someone familure with the rules on station?

[timdp]

We have played a couple of games. Perhaps Duke or the capt have more experience.
If nothing else we could start off with some smaller games to get used to the rules. Like 500 points with nothing bigger than a cruiser along with some escorts.

Re fleets, my Nurgle fleet is big enough to share/split. and I have a fair amount of Imperial cruisers and escorts.
