Just realized this has never been posted here, the local X-Wing night is officially Friday nights at Dragon's Lair. Plenty of people, plenty of variety in lists to fly, and some FFG league swag. So come on down!

Now, he tells me!
*sigh* of course its Friday...
Friday? When did it switch to Friday?
No idea, but I found out when I went to the Store Championship in March. Haven't been able to go the last few weeks myself, but now I'm finally settled in at the new place so I'll be there this week with a bunch of squadrons to fly.Quote:

Jason runs X-Wing at DL on Fridays and Thomas runs it at WTIIG on Saturdays. There's usually 6-12 people at DL on Friday, so I'm finally getting some flying time in. With the store's blessing, they frequently throw some promo cards or other swag at you.
They normally post updates and reminders on meetup:

Is this still going on? I just bought a couple of minis and played a few games with my kid. Was hoping to get in some games at DL some times. So it's Friday nights still? And is it newbie friendly?
Yes it is still going strong, though usually the main crowd doesn't show until 6:30-7. And I'd say it's newbie-friendly, at least I've never had a bad game or bad experience there for X-Wing.
It's quite newbie friendlyQuote:

In the couple of games I played with my kid, my ships seemed to be drawn magically to all asteroids as I hit several!Quote:

100 is the norm.
As Brandon said, it's quite newbie friendly. If you have less than 100 points, people will adjust their list accordingly.
You mean there's "community building"?Quote:

Tuesday night there is a pilot academy at Madge Sanctum. Starts at around 5:00ish.
Veteran players work with newbies in a very relaxed fun atmosphere.
I am even winning games now.:) There regular night is Wednesday but you can pretty much get a game
in any night of the week. They have a tournament this Saturday if I am not mistaken.
Mage's Sanctum is having an escalation tournament (60-90-120-150) this Saturday. They're usually a lot of fun.

My name is Jason and I am the X-Wing organizer at Dragon's Lair. I just found out about this site so I thought I'd drop in.
We play every Friday from 7pm until closing. I run a casual league in which you can collect points for playing and (slightly more points) for winning. It runs for 8 weeks and then we restart. This Friday (8/7/2015) will be week 6 of season 4. Points are only collected for OP kits and prizes.
I make sure to maintain the information on the ATX-Wing website (http://www.meetup.com/ATX-Wing/) and on FFG's OP forums (https://community.fantasyflightgames...rganized-play/ and here for season 4 https://community.fantasyflightgames...e-season-four/).
So we'd love to have everyone turn out. We typically have about a dozen but last Friday had 20 turn up. We have enough players now that you don't have to play the same player every time.
For some reason my posts kept getting moderated.
I am the organizer for the official X-Wing league. We meet up on Fridays at 7pm every week. It's a casual league and we're growing steadily (averaging about 20 a week).
I maintain the Meetup group as well:

We'd love to have everyone come out for some X-Wing! And yes, I am there every week!
It is the links, until you have a few posts, anything with links goes to moderated status. I fixed these.
Thanks for posting this.
