Re: (TFT) Re: TFT Digest V3 #809

Well.... I do live on the island. While many of you moved off of Long Island, I moved onto it. About 13 years ago to be exact. Where did everybody go? I think I'm the only TFT player in a sea of millions of people. If anyone is left in the immediate area I'm planning on running a TFT micro-quest game at Questcon this October to try to introduce it to new players. I do game at Ron Boone's house on occasion, I even ran TFT there once. But they are mainly into SPI type games. Not many old RPGer's left these days it seems. I did make it to Waterloo a few times and was shocked to go there with a friend one day and find out it was his last day in business. That was several years ago.

I lived on the island from birth (1965) through 1993 when I moved to NJ. (technically I lived in eastern Queens, so geographically LI, but municipally 
NYC).
I shopped at W2, and at the Compleat Strategist, but didn't game at either, so I am afraid I don't recognize the individuals you mention, i just fondly 
recall shopping there.
I know the strategist still exists in manhattan, though all the other branches are gone I believe, do you know if Waterloo II still exists. I may need to 
look into both of them again.

when did you live on the island? I lived there all my life until '94. I gamed with the SGLI at first at Waterloo II (RPG games -- usually C+S run by Rusty, the BIG red haired guy that ran the counter) and later we rented the top floor of a bar in Bethpage and finally at Ron Boone's house in Bethpage. I

played Napoleonics with Scott at Waterloo in Stony Brook and later at his 
condo
in Mineola after they closed the Stony Brook store. The SGLI fragmented into boardgaming at Ron's house, historical miniatures at Scott's, and RPG gaming 
on
the weekends wherever.... I moved to 'Vegas; Scott to Gilbert,AZ and it
seemed a LOT of other people left the island...:-(
