Hey everyone! I recently moved from Pennsylvania to Austin, and I'm looking to find a new playing group. I'm near Dragon's Lair, and was thinking of popping in one Friday night to see what it's like, but it'd be nice to know a person or two before I do so. I'm in on N Lamar, and can travel some, but since I'm still so new to the area I'd like to stay fairly local.

Other than that, I'm a laid back player, been playing the game for a little over a year. I have a good grasp of the rules and I don't get bent out of shape about winning/losing, I just like playing and having a good time.

It's been a few years, but I know there are a couple groups down there. Great area. I think Blue Atoll is a member that lives down there. Check with him. Also, Chrisdosmil is in San Antonio (if I remember right), he may know of a group in the area.

How funny that I saw this thread and I now see my name mentioned in it.

I know of Dragon's Lair in Austin. I think there's another venue, bu I don't have it at the top of my head.

This may be too last minute for you, but I have a charity event I'm running this Saturday with a bunch of cool prizes. Here is the link:

It's only an hour drive away from Austin and you have a pretty good chance of going home with at least one (2011) Con LE. It's for charity and not a regular tournament, so I expect people to have fun and not be so cutthroat.

Thanks guys, I dropped Blue Atoll a line hoping to ask some questions about the area.

Chris, I appreciate the invite but I think an hour drive's a little too adventurous for me just yet. I only got into town a little more than a week ago, and I'm still getting the hang of the local driving. (From a small town to a big city, crazy traffic is still intimidating!)

Welcome to Austin we have a pretty big heroclix group in town,there is atleast five venues a week to play at.

If you're on N Lamar then you're pretty much in the heart of all the action.

Monday - Rogues Gallery (Round Rock)
Weds - Juniors (south side)
Thurs - Wonkos - 183/Lake Creek (NW Austin)
Fri - Dragon's Lair - Anderson/Burnet
Sat - Mothership - Parmer/MoPac

I live in Austin as well, and am just getting into Heroclix.

How welcoming is the Dlair group to non comic heroclix? I only have Halo/DOTA2 figures (and only the dota map, which is sort of terrible to try and learn on).

All venues are open to non comic clix. It just depends on the build for that venue that week.

Contact the below judges to be added to the weekly email list.

Kelly (mothership judge) - [email protected]
Hunter (Dragons Lair judge) - [email protected]
Cole (Wonko's judge) - [email protected]

Thanks for the contact information. Are there any local forums or just the mailing lists?

I'm in the Austin area too and new to clix. I'm planning on coming by The Dragon's Lair this Friday to peek my head in and see what's going on!
