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

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Cool

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    I think he meant the central part of the state. Starkville is kinda E/NE.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
