Chicagoland players?

I wanted to know if we have some Chicagoland players here on the forum. If so I would like to join up for some gaming.

Yes. My whole family plays, so feel free to contact me. Plus, if you stop by The Gaming Goat in Schaumburg (1115 North Salem Drive, Schaumburg, IL 60194) at 7pm Wednesday nights, I can pretty much guarantee you a game or two with several of the regulars there.

I'm in northwest Indiana myself and play with my local guys fairly often.

While I am not technically in the Chicagoland area I would like to get together with more people to play this most awesome of games. I might have to make the trek out that way one day and do just that.

Wow, I live in Schaumburg.   I usually have difficulty making time in advance, but I will have to make it out to that Games Store one of these days.

Chicago is probably close enough to St. Louis that if one of you arrange some store game days, you have a chance of talking Christopher into a visit.

Thanks for all the replies. I need To stop by The Gaming Goat since I am in Hanover Park.

Well, we had a great time last night. First, we had two four-player games (against Ambuscade in the Ruins of Atlantis and Apostate in Megalopolis) and then one giant 7-player game against The Chairman in Rook City. The first games were fairly quick, but that last one was epic, and a very near thing: at the end, three players were incapacitated and the rest all below 10 hit points.

I don't have that much free time, but I am in Skokie. My comic/game store is Pastimes (pastimes.net). They are huge in Magic (they run the Magic event at Gencon), but they are trying to get some more board game nights in.

I'm going to try and make it to the Gaming Goat this Wednesday, should be close to 7 o clock, depending on how work goes.  Hope to see some people there and maybe get in a game or two.

I'm out in New Lenox(near Joliet).  We don't really have a store to play at, but I do run a once a month game night at the local library if anyone is interested.  The next game night is March 19th 5:3-7:30 at the New Lenox Library.  http://www.newlenoxlibrary.org/

Hey what do you know I did make it out to the Gaming Goat and we did have a great 6 player game where the Ennead stomped on us.  Talk about the perfect storm for the villain in the first two turns.  We fought valiantly but to no avail.  Hoping to have Shattered Timelines for the next Game Night (post KS order).  Unfortunately I can't make it next week, but I'm hoping to become a semi-regular, maybe every other week.  Just a great board game night atmosphere and experience, anyone in the area should check it out.

Are any of you Chicago locals doing C2E2?  My wife, a friend, and I may make it this year, and I tend to lose interest in box-diving in the dealer hall after a few hours.  I'd definitely be up for a game or two.

I won't be able to make it tomorrow, but please keep posting here, because I would love to join you in April or May.

And it looks like we will have Shattered Timelines at the Gaming Goat in Schaumburg this Wednesday the 20th.

I better post the dates just in case I forget.

What is C2E2?  Sorry, i'm not familiar with the acronym.

Also, my job took me out of town last week, but I should be there this werk.  And New Lenox isn't too far, I will keep those dates on my radar.

It is a comic convention at McCormick place that started a few years ago. http://www.c2e2.com/

i will not be attending.  Doen't work with my schedule.  But I hear it's fun.

Just a reminder.  We will be meeting up to play some games at the New Lenox Library on April 16th from 5:30-7:30.

Hope to see some new faces there this month!!!

Totally missed the game at new lenox. I need to watch the forum more. :(

Hey NAL0781 and drakeparallel want to try to get a game going this summer?

Wow, totally missed the end posts here several months ago, but I am open to getting together for gaming most weekends as long as I know a week or so in advance.

Is anyone here in Chicago proper? I'll be playing tomorrow night with some folks at the Dice Dojo if anyone's interested.

I work in Chicago, near O'Hare.  Will have to make it to a game night soon, my work schedule has cut into a lot of my time during the week.

I'm in Minneapolis, but have been debating a trip to Chicago whenever I could afford it.  (How's the job market out there?  Nobody in the Twin Cities seems to want to hire a data entry grunt.)  I guess having a SOTM community would be more reason to make the trip....

(How exactly did someone do a 7-player game?)
