Seem,s I’ve become an Atlantean. or Atlantite. Atlantican?

Person of Atlanta. And as a nerdy person of Atlanta, I’m curious as to where gamers hang out. Where can geeks get their hot Shadowrun-on-Pathfinder action? I’ve already foudn Supergames, but there’s got to me more to the gaming scene than that.

Actually, come to think of it, I might have my own booth come DragonCon… C’mon guys! Party at my place for DragonCon!

Where in Atlanta are you? Most of the comic shops have gaming nights.

North-ish, towards Alpharetta (not a huge deal - I can drive anywhere on the north side at least). Supergames closes at the ungodly early hour of 10:00 pm, which is silly for a serious gaming shop. At least, I’ve never seena dedicated one that closed before 2:00 am if people were still there.

I also had a hard time finding comic or wargaming shops at all. Every place I could find apparently closed. There might be mroe in the city, but I’m not as familair with it.

Boardgamegeek has regional forums where you can find gamer groups. Board games, obviously, but they do overlaps with RPG players and there’s probably similar sites for RPGs.

If you’re looking for Pathfinder games specifically, there’s a Pathfinder Society of Georgia web site:  
[http://georgiapfs.org/home/](http://georgiapfs.org/home/)

Pathfinder Society organized play may not be exactly what you’re looking for, but at least you’d be able to meet other players.
