Hey guys, I am a 5th year student up here at Cal Poly and did not realize there was a gaming scene up here. So I recently brought up my Warhammer 40k pieces and am interested in playing a couple of games when there is an opportunity.

I have a couple questions if anyone wouldn't mind answering them:

1. Are there multiple places/stores around SLO that have tables/terrain to play on?
2. If so, what are the names of the stores?
3. Are there particular nights that people gather to play?
4. If so, are those the only nights available to play due to other events or is it easy to organize a game besides those particular days? (schedule fluctuates quite a bit)

Thanks a lot!

Please feel free to contact me as my information is in my profile

Hey, nice to see new people finding the site and gaming group. I'm a Sophomore here at CalPoly myself.

The main time/place we play is Friday nights starting at 5pm at the Imagination Shoppe on Foothill.

Other than that, We have events every few months either here in SLO or in Santa Maria. There's one in SM this Saturday I believe.

As for alternate days, We keep at least a few board at IShoppe, and most of us have at least a bit of terrain, so working out something on a different day wouldn't be impossible.

Welcome to the group, hope to see you on Fridays and get a game in sometime.

Just found place called Cheap Thrills, didn't see any tables or room for anything for people to game but they have quite a selection of models. Does anything happen over there? or is it just a store?

We used to play over there out side in a shed on Wed, but then we found Imagination shoppe. Nemo's (The gaming side of Cheap Thrills) does have a nice stock of GW in store and paints. So if you just have to have something right away nemo's might have it. If you don't mind waiting a few days Ishoppe can order it for you for 20% off. Just don't say anything about it at Nemo's, they will probably tell you never to come back.

I believe that Nemo's does 25% off if you special order something through them. I guess an extra 5% makes them competitive :P and they have the used model cabinet, which I have gotten some great stuff from.

Hey welcome, yeah it doesnt sound like people are playing games at nemos on wednesdays anymore, wich is a shame because I liked that shed, I think all my tables are still in there, but I guess most people only like to play one night a week plus the ocassional tourney, I used to be in charge of the room there on wednesdays but my shcedule forced me to take a break gaming regularly. It seems like most people go to imagination shopp on fridays, I know cal poly also has a friday night gaming group called "game theory" on campus, not sure if there are any 40k players there or not. Well good luck in your quest to get some 40k games in, looks like fridays at imagination shop is a good place to start, also you can try leisure time games in santa maria they have a gaming night as well.
