The game store, when we aren't having a pandemic.
Somebody else's house for the past year (on those rare occasions when we actually get together for games).

Someone's house or at a convention.

Martin Rapier24 Oct 2021 11:23 p.m. PST

The club hires a room in the local Working Men's Club.

But for the last 18 months we've been taking it in turns to host remote games played over Zoom. So, "the Internet", but I set the toys up on my games table at home.

Green Tiger24 Oct 2021 11:29 p.m. PST

Mostly in my loft…

Chimpy25 Oct 2021 1:15 a.m. PST

In my garage converted into a games room.

myxemail25 Oct 2021 2:34 a.m. PST

Not in any particular order: my basement, at a friend's house, at the club's game day (a rented hall), and at a convention

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 4:06 a.m. PST

Usually a Friend's House. In the past a local store.

Porthos25 Oct 2021 4:33 a.m. PST

I do not play very often, but sometimes in my home (or – in nice weather – in the garden !) and sometimes at a friend's home.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 5:17 a.m. PST

Home (Game Room) and Game Store.

At my home.

Oddball25 Oct 2021 5:36 a.m. PST

Anywhere / Anytime

Have been referred to as a "gaming prostitute", well, not prostitute but the other term that relates to a person engaged in that line of work.

Will take on a game where ever offered.

There's not much historical gaming done in shops around here.

Home. Dining room table.

Personal logo Herkybird Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 12:18 p.m. PST

We use a church hall for our weekly club meets, but I use my dining room table for games at home!

GildasFacit Sponsoring Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 12:46 p.m. PST

At home or at one of a number of mate's houses.

Did game at a club for a while many years ago but we both moved and no local club/venue.

I don't drive and public transport is rubbish around here but I can get to some of their houses that way, just no clubs.

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 1:55 p.m. PST

Tables. I wargame on tables.

BrockLanders25 Oct 2021 2:31 p.m. PST

My basement

huron725 Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 2:45 p.m. PST

My basement on a dedicated table.

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 4:20 p.m. PST

Oh, drat. We're being serious? Homes, conventions and--back in The Day--any facility secured for a formal game. Barracks and unit day rooms once upon a time.

Personal logo gamertom Supporting Member of TMP25 Oct 2021 4:20 p.m. PST

Game store mostly, occasionally my gaming room.

Berzerker7325 Oct 2021 4:22 p.m. PST

My basement

Gonsalvo25 Oct 2021 8:46 p.m. PST

Your or someone's home?
Parents uninsulated attic in HS (Bbistering hot in summer, literally freezing cold in winter), friends homes, but for the past 30+ years, mostly my basement.

Game Store?
only once or twice, back in Medical school;, when there was a great game store a short distance away; now about once a year at the wonderful Portal Game store for ourannual Snappy Nappy Campaign in a Day events.

Club Building?
Never, not much of a US thing.

Library?
Not yet, BUT I am very involved in the HMGS Next Gen project, which is using a number of Library sites, so imagine I'll run at least one Library game in 2022.
oh, wait; ran a big multiplayer "Lord Kalvan of Otherwhen" game at a Libary about 15 years ago.

Work?
Uh, no, even when I owned my own medical practice and building with a 2500 square foot basement!

School?
I run games for students a few times a year at Jared's school, and as part of HMGS Next Gen; we are looking to reach out to more schools.

Dorm?
Back in college, sure, but mostly we used the cavernous ROTC hangar on campus.

Other?

Zoom – 30+ games in the past 18 months

CONVENTIONS! Running 5 games at Historicon in a few weeks.

bobm195926 Oct 2021 1:37 a.m. PST

Our club building most weeks, Leeds Wargames Club are now proud owners of Hicks Hall, an old dance studio that was originally a small cinema. The world is our oyster…!
Occasionally at home when I can claim the dining table.

In my head.

Personal logo x42brown Supporting Member of TMP27 Oct 2021 10:52 a.m. PST

I no longer have a place thanks to covid. The home and club for the elderly do not open the rooms at present besides most of my opponents have died.

JimSelzer27 Oct 2021 10:47 p.m. PST

private homes or conventions

game stores have too many rules like no outside food or drink
they also have annoying fanboyz and CCG players

COL Scott ret28 Oct 2021 9:30 p.m. PST

Sometimes home, sometimes at church.
