Hey all, I was supposed to get this going a while ago, but life happens.
Please post any stores/public places/meetups you know about to help new players find games. I will try my best to keep an updated list in this first post. I have no set idea on 'local', so really anywhere from the SA/Austin/Dallas/College Station/Houston triangle is fine, since there are members here from all of those places.
I will add some other threads to discuss specific games nights/regular events, but feel free to post that information here also, so we know, and I will update elsewhere as needed. Also please provide additional information if you like for stores already added - I only know about those I frequent, which is why some have more info than others.
To keep things orderly, please use the following format:

Small selection of GW items, mostly board and card games. But you can buy beer, coffee and food here while you game. Most tables are too small for GW games (about 3x3 or 2.5x6), but check with the store first - if they aren't busy they may let you push some tables together (no instore terrain though).
