To that end, we want to create and maintain meetings that get roleplayers in the same place, trying different games, meeting different people, and doing the sort of networking that forms new groups, or gets fresh blood into established ones. I try to organize at least one meeting a month (usually a one-shot game); …

Hello, I created this meetup to get together groups of people to watch anime series and movies while playing great board games. People can also bring their Xboxes, Wii's, and other consoles to play as well.

I hope to see you all at the meetups!
