Mississippi players?

[shakespear]

Any others?

[iG4MER]

I know down in Gulfport area there was a game store near the Air Force Base, JAKS. They had some guys that played there.

[Demongate]

I live in Picayune, Mississippi. Got a few buddies that I play with here.

[shakespear]

I have made a MS guild, plz join.

We have about 4 players up here in Jackson.

[Demongate]

ooooo Sorry man. Jackson is like a three or four hour drive...

[shakespear]

we've got 4 up here so far

[Demongate]

Yea. We got about four down here in Southern Mississippi. Three Warmachine( Two Khador and One Protectorate) and one Hordes Player. He plays Legion.

[shakespear]

I have a forum for local guys:

http://gulfsouthgamers.com/

[ProseDragon]

There's a store called Gamerz Depot in Olive Branch, if anyone reads this looking for North Mississippi. There are a few people that play there, and I am hopefully going to start soon.

[shakespear]

Im hoping to run a tourny at gamecon memphis

[Mrrrf]

I'm resurrecting this since I was deployed when it posted. Has there been any further growth? I live in Long Beach and play at a couple good LGSs with some great players in New Orleans. I'm always looking for more opportunities as I love the hobby and can't always make it over there...

[Mod_Faultie]

There is now an independent game club in Starkville, MS. I helped try and get them organized early on, but they have taken off like I wouldn't have imagined. I think they have about 15-20 WM/H players and they play several times a week at a building they have rented out. We're even working on getting them a Press Ganger for running large events (they've got plenty of space).

See below for details.

[Pavulon]

I belong to the Starkville, MS group. We just got our email up and running, it is StarkvilleHobbyClub@gmail.com. We also have a website and forums under construction. I'm not the web guy so I'm not sure how long it will be on those. We will have pics of the facility and more formalized hours posted on the site when it gets up and running.

Currently we play on Wed&Fri nights and Sat from noonish-until. We just got the new clubhouse up and running, had our first games there this past Wednesday night. We still have some work to do on the club's physical site and some paperwork to finish up for liability purposes, but we should be fully functional and ready within the next few weeks.

We have renovated half of our current rental property and have 28 feet of gaming table space suitable for miniature war gaming. We're waiting to see what other games members might enjoy and recoup some of our renovation money before we renovate the other half. People may want RPG or card game space, or more wargaming. We'll renovate to suit the demand.

We want to be able to host tournaments on a regular basis and get involved in league play as well. Again, more on this once we get some logistics worked out and we'll post info on our up-and-coming webpage.

Currently it's looking like to be a member, it's $20/month or $5/day depending on how regularly one can make it. We'll let people come once or twice to try it out for free, just like any other crack dealer. The money is used to pay the buildings rent and electric bill. If we ever start having a surplus of cash (we're a long way from that currently) we will either decrease dues or give away prizes, provide food/drinks, etc.

We used to play at my house, where I have a game room. Then we filled that up and people had to play outside on a table. That sucks in MS heat. There was no place for us to go in Starkville that could hold us all, and we would have had to transport tables, terrain, etc every time we went somewhere like the student union or rent out a conference room every weekend. Getting our own clubhouse seemed the most efficient option, and so far we all all very pleased with out new clubhouse. Hopefully we'll see you Jackson and Hattiesburg and Tupelo people at some point. My trollbloods are always lookin for new face to stomp. :)

I'll guesstimate our current membership level at 12ish people per saturday showing up, but there's 6 or 7 that went home for the summer (its a college town). Also we had 4 new faces show up for the first time this past Wednesday. Not sure how many of those will return regularly, but our player base is growing steadily.

[RetNoob]

For those with other gaming interests we also play things ranging from "That Other Game" to Flames of War to Dystopian Wars and beyond. Feel free to drop by and roll dice. There is usually always someone around who is up for a game or two.

I am one of the "Web Guys", so I guess its up to me to post the website.

http://starkvillegamingclub.webs.com/

This is just a really rough website just so we can get information out easier and will be undergoing heavy renevations

[MatthewTyson]

Hurry up and finish our website trumpet :P

And yeah. The new place is nice. Just bring your own chair or stool for the time being :P

[Darwinsfolly]

Starkville? Really? I moved from Columbus a couple months ago and the closest gaming group I could find while living there was over in Tuscaloosa. Damn it would have been nice to have known about this sooner.

[Not Dice]

"That Other Game"

You can say Warhammer here. It's okay. My 3500pts of Lizardmen say so.

[shakespear]

Central Mississippi has no real gaming as of now. It died, murdered actually.

A few people play a few different games at home..

The only real groups are boardgaming and RPGs

Crap, I guess that means everybody playing yesterday was a hallucination. I need to break out the crazy pills again. :)

[Mod_Faultie]

He probably meant the Meridian-to-Jackson corridor, seeing as how he's in Brandon.

[shakespear]

I did.

I think of Starkville as N/NE

[Globiddle]

I'm actually from Brandon, Mississippi originally, but moved to Texas when I got married a couple years ago. There was about zero gaming community when I left. Although, I was able to get my mom and sister into gaming.

[shakespear]

It started up pretty good when I moved here. 40k only, AND DONT YOU DARE MENTION ANOTHER GAME! NOT EVEN FANTASY!!

It died due to personality conflicts, after about 2 years. Now most of the former players just play Magic.

I play at home, different stuff.

[RetNoob]

I did.

I think of Starkville as N/NE

Ah, gotcha. I consider Tupelo NE. Starkville is to far south for me to not consider it central. Just a matter of perspective. On another note, feel free to drive up one Saturday. I'm sure we can put together a game of whatever sysyem you would like to play. I know a few have expressed a desire to get a game of 40K or Fantasy in sometime soon.

[themonad]

whazzup shakespear, i was on the gulfsouth forums for a while. we'd love to have you guys come up for a weekend or something, really picking up steam here in starkvegas. anyhoo, i'll stop back by and keep updated soon, the place is looking pretty ballin and always up for having more folks game.

[Awesker1976]

Meridian, ms noob here. I have a few smallish armies to offer.

Not a whole lot ...well no game going on here so I'm still inexperienced.


Hordes: Skorne
Warmachine: Khador

Other games:

Skaven
Beastmen
Space Marines
Chaos Space Marines

Terran alliance - Firestorm armada

[shakespear]

We are playing some firestorm locally

[CKO]

Central Mississippi didnt die just went underground I play 40k and khador

[Pavulon]

@ Awsker1976

Meridian is not that far man, plan to come up to Starkville sometime.

[Bobby Hostile]

There's a PG in MS. Gene's his real name, can't think of his forum title as he doesn't post much. He's in Biloxi.

[Mrrrf]

LOL, He's right. Not nearly enough posts from me, but if anyone's ever headed to south MS let me know. I'm always up for a game :)

[LightningWaffle]

Wow. I'm a lot closer to Warmachine than I thought. I'm in northern MS, near Holly Springs, actually. Awesome that there's a store that I don't have to drive 2 and a half hours to play at!



*snip*

I somehow run across you guys again. =P At least we're getting word out, especially for fall.

[Cunnin N Qwik]

LOL, He's right. Not nearly enough posts from me, but if anyone's ever headed to south MS let me know. I'm always up for a game :)

Me and a couple of other would like to join you for a game sometime. I live in wiggins, but would drive for it and there are a couple others in the group at jaks that would like to come as well. Some already has armies.

[shakespear]

we schedule here: http://www.meetup.com/Jackson-Gamers/ There is 5-6 on there

[Cunnin N Qwik]

I signed up. It'll probably be a while before I can go up there due to working extra hours and I don't make trips to jackson that often. I told a couple other guys about it though.

[Happy_Go_Lucky?]

I was born In MS, played Battletech back in old days of places like, Coast Comics, Dragon's workshop and Zoackies (Distrubutor).... I hope the MS Gamers could get Privateer Press to Sponsor events at "Coast-Con," Good luck my Brothers in MS, make it down to San Diego, CA to play at "Comic-Con, KingdomCon, and watch a TJ "Donkey Show." ha ha

[shakespear]

Lots of talk of starting league play soon. Anyone interested?

[Cunnin N Qwik]

Actually if anyone here is in the south mississippi area meaning the southern counties please join this site.
http://southmsgamers.forumotion.com/

Me (Man-of-War on the SMG site) and others play at the moment haven't had a head count yet, but it's starting to pick up more after wargamescon. Plus we are starting game day events in Gautier, MS once a month. Which it's on facebook on Gulfcoast gamers I believe. The next event will be on the 16th. I ran the last event for warmachine/hordes there which I brought a few people into the game by teaching them. There are others that are learning in our group, but played in the 40k event that day.

[badwolf-00]

I'm from the Brookhaven area, and there about six of us that play Warmachine/Hordes. We usually go to Jackson to a place called Van's Cards and Comics where we get our Warmachine/Hordes stuff. We are thinking about asking him to start small tournaments there.

If you try and tabletop game at Vans, youre going to have a bad time..... Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon...

A lot of the ex players now play over at Heroes and Dreams. We have a Journeyman league on Thursday nights. We can do Saturdays too.

3 of us just got back from a tournament in Starkville.

[badwolf-00]

Lol Probably, he doesn't have a lot of room and there are always annoying yugioh players there. Interesting, I didn't know they did war-gaming at Heroes and Dreams. I'll have to talk to my guys about going up a couple of Saturday nights or at least finding out some info to play. Never ventured to the Starkville area much.

we had a small tournament this past weekend with 9 warlocks/warcasters!

[legionaires]

Wish I had known about the tourney as I have to schedule a while in advice as I'm up in New Albany. So for the Starkville Hobby folks are you aware of Tupelo Sportscards? He started out supporting Magic players and since I move back some folks have been playing 40k but I dropped off two 4x4 boards for Warmachine/Hordes. I dont have the time to drum up interest but he orders anything you want and he has been giving a discount.

He just moved to a new store so he has room to grow. Im busy for the rest of the month but I hope you guys are interested.

[shakespear]

Sounds like we could have a really nice Central/North tournament scene

[Mod_Faultie]

I've summoned the two north-MS PGs, hopefully they can give more details, but I think they've got a Journeyman coming up, which culminates in a tournament. Maybe we can even get something going when I come down to Starkville in April.

[13]

I'm starting up a Journeyman League for the Spring up in Starkville that everyone is welcome to be a part of. I think there is a link further up in this thread to the Starkville Hobby Club page that I ask you join if you want to be a part of the league so I can get a head count and see how many patches I need to get. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what does everyone in the Jackson area play? I play Circle and Legion.

Ive got a bunch of Circle and Cygnar. I also have a bit of Khador.

Others have More Cygnar, Cryx, Retribution and Skorne

Awesome. The other friends of mine that I play with frequently use Cygnar, Khador, Retribution, Protectorate, Minions and Trollbloods. Don't have any Skorne or Mercs players. I have a very small Cryx army but not much bigger than the battlebox.

Oh yeah, I have a small dwarf force too

[badwolf-00]

Thats interesting. I know jack squat about Rhulic dwarves lol. Do any of you guys that play in and around Jackson, play it painted? or not? I usually base and paint my stuff as soon as I get it. I just like painting lol

I understand what you mean, Ive noticed over the past 10 years that less and less people are interested in painting.

Around here I would say its about 50-50

I pay to have mine painted.

[legionaires]

Unfortunately I can't swing Starkville, gas is too high for me to make that trip with what little I have on unemployment. Best of luck.

Haha thats what one of my friends is getting me to do for him for his Protectorate army. My friend was just curious if you guys enforced the play with painted models or don't play at all thing which some places do but not a lot.

I know some of the guys that game in that area and we have played games a few times. We do support the store, I know a few of our crew bought 40k rulebooks from him at release. We also play 40k at our hobby club. You should hit us up on facebook! its Starkville Hobby Club, ask for access and I will add you.

will

[OxfordBoy]

Currently we're gaming in Oxford, MS. I'm the only Warmachine player here and just starting out. However if anybody is ever looking for a game in the area feel free to drop me a line. I try to keep my drive distances down as my truck really sucks the gas down. Hard to justify a $100 trip to play a couple of games.

I'm actually in New Albany so I'm close by. I have job interviews this week and next but I will try to contact you next month if you are still able to play as I know it is getting close to exam time.

[computertrucker]

I go thru Jackson MS every now and then. I am actually going to be parking there today in the next few hours. Is there a decent store there?

[computertrucker]

Ya I just called the place you posted about earlier. Heroes and Dreams they said they were closing down this coming weekend. Sucks to hear. So Jackson is pretty dead on the gaming side then?

also what about meridian? Any haunts or hangouts there to play aka LGS?

If you are interested

[computertrucker]

Thanks will take a look...any gamers in the meridian area...looks like I will be stuck in meridian all day tomorrow, would love to meet up with some peeps maybe get a game in.

[armchair autarch]

Whoa this thread has been zombifyed like a boss. Didn't realize this had started picking up.

Hello Brookhavenites!!!! We'll be getting something going here in the very near future on Saturdays which should help getting y'all up in Jackson, Comic Commander is real near Van's, just a few minutes more north. Van's done great in getting some Warmachine stock going and once I know what I'll be buying in the near future I'm going to have him get some orders in for me. I believe he wouldn't mind us playing in there occasionally, he just has so much regular gaming going on there that it would be hard to squeeze anyone out due to space concerns. That being said, I do have really good rapport with him so I'd like to say that he'd make room for us if we wanted to do a large scale event/tourney there.

I'll be going to Comic Commander tomorrow night (hopefully) to lock in some days for us to migrate the Jackson wargamers over there. I think it's looking like Thursdays and Saturdays but I'll know for sure after tonight. Anyways, glad you found us on here, did you join the facebook group? I'm Kyle btw.

[armchair autarch]

Brookhavenites, nice lol Yeah, I'm sure Van wouldn't mind gaming there as long as some of his yugioh/magic players art there, they can get annoying at times, no offense to any that play there lol.

Yeah, he said he was gonna start bringing in regular Warmachine/Hordes stock because the stuff we asked him to bring in, was bought in no time and other people from the area also started buying it so naturally he sees profit and my wallet going empty. I think me and two of my friends who play are going to try and coming up this saturday to get a couple of things and we might stop by Comic Commander too, time permitting.

[WVRunner]

I'll be moving to Hattesburg in the next year or so. I was wondering what the scene was like in that area. When I was there last, I was only able to find one store, Hub City Hobbies, but they did not have a play area.

Its really good for gaming, they dont do much Warmachine though. If you dont do facebook, they have a meetup group too

So does anyone know where the closest group of players (decent amount) is to Hattesburg?

btw, thanks for the response Shakespear.

We've got about 8-10 up in Jackson. There is a few more in Brookhaven (mentioned above) and in Starkville.

[OxfordBoy]

Anybody got the address of where the Starkville club is so I can get a idea on my cost to drive over there? As well as time, etc.

Really wanting to start getting some games in soon hopefully I will have finished 35pts of my Retribution by the end of this month.

[Mod_Faultie]

It's in the 82 Plaza Shopping Center (144-172 Dr Martin Luther King Jr Dr E). Not sure the exact address, but it's upstairs.
