Hero in Syracuse NY

[comfortmd]

moving to Syracuse NY, originally from the area, does anybody play out there??

...Just to keep the thread fresh, i run everything from WFRP / Hero5(Champions & Star Hero) / Cthulu / Rifts-Palladium / Ars Magica / Vampire-Werewolf-Mage(World of Darkness) / and d&d 2nd ed (Won't mess with the third) anybody interested?? I just want to find out cause it would be great to have the chance to game after moving from san diego to syracuse... (bummed)

I would be interested in running/playing most of these RPGs. I also like some boardgames as well, Robo-Rally, Talisman (the old one), and Ricochet Robot.

very cool, just started the escrow process with my house, so looking at a month or so eta with moving. you play at altered states??

Now that my little part of Syracuse has recovered from the blackout...

I used to go to Altered States. Last year they had a Boardgame night going and I went a few times to find people to play Robo-Rally and Talisman. I haven't gone to Altered States much since then. I was getting some really bad service from the staff working there. I switched to going to Rochester to get my games. Since then, I have noticed that the gaming stuff I like to buy comes in to the stores in Rochester (Millenium Games, Boldo's Armory, and the still amazing Crazy Egor's) three to four weeks ahead of Altered States in Syracuse.
Plus, I prefer to game at a home rather than a store.

Where are you moving to in Syracuse? I was living in Manlius for the last couple of years, but I just moved to DeWitt. My place is pretty close to Sears at Shoppingtown Mall. Now I have air conditioning and a garage. Civilization!

How long has it been since you lived in this area? Since childhood? College?
I only moved here a couple of years ago.

middle school, if you can believe it. isn't crazy egor's out of business??? I don't know exactly where the house is, as my wife hasn't gotten a firm idea, but on the map it's just a little bit south of dewit next to a park, seems cool...

Middle school? Wow.

Crazy Egor's:
What I heard was that the owner of Crazy Egor's ruptured five disks in his back and needed to give up the main store a few years ago. He has maintained an active mail-order business since then. But he has a small store in his hometown of Hilton. Mainly it is the place he keeps his stock, but you can stop by during limited hours like it is a regular store. It is not nearly the size of his old store (which is now Millenium Games), however his stock of older gaming material is very good. It is a lot of fun to browse the old stock. Much more these days since more and more gaming stores have removed their used games sections.

Sounds like my place is just north of your house. The park might be Richards Park.

Let me know when you move to town. If you need an extra pair of hands for moving, just say so.

Have a good move.

Did you move yet?

just got cable hooked up today, but stuff won't be here for about 10 days... ick

I find myself in a not so savory part of town, the park has hoodlums in it and the school i haven't checked it out yet. I am on a not --very--- bad stretch of bellevue ave, if there even is one. My next door neighbors are pretty cool though. I have successfully entered the twilight zone.

well, alerting anyone that might read this, i would like to run a game of anything you would like. I'm in sw syracuse (kind of) i have a driveway and ample parking. Gaming area too. Let me know if any are interested

[sigh] I miss my gamers in san diego
