Seconding this. Matt is an old friend from college and an awesome dude, and Elm City Games is a great business to support.

If you're looking for something closer, Battlezone in Norwalk also hosts tabletop games.

Depending on how close to SW CT you want. I know Nutmeg Games in the New Milford shopping plaza does a ton of events for all sorts of table games. I don't play myself, but I hung out and observed a Warhammer 40k tourney once.

Sort of. They're unsubbing from D&DBeyond and not buying any more products from Hasbro, but playing D&D with materials you already own won't give them a cent so it doesn't matter. Especially if, like what OP is looking to do, the group is playing live instead of on a VTT because then there's no metrics to track in case Hasbro looks at outside VTT metrics to see how the game is doing. Not that I think the company would do that, I don't think any of the decision makers there actually understand the industry enough to think to do that.

I've lived in many places and regions around the US. All in all its in the Top 5 with Colorado,Vermont,New Hampshire and New York. Washington, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Maine are the rest of the Top Ten. The bottom half are all in the South, Midwest and West.

Do you freak out when you see cameras in a bank? Or in the post office? Or the town hall? Or in nearly every single business you go into? Maybe I would find them annoying, but who says I get to be the arbiter of what's reasonable behavior especially when what they are doing is neither harmful nor illegal? I've seen some of the videos on youtube and as far as I can tell for the most part they just want to be left alone to record in spaces they are allowed to be in, and if they don't get the reaction they will just get bored and go away. Maybe we hire some adults to work in important positions that can handle the stress and rigors of having someone record their public workplace for a few minutes? If you choose to be a public servant, being watched is to be expected I think.

Correct. The employees of the establishments are generally acting in manner that they believe to be true, and are acting in a manner to protect there place of work and the individuals inside. But what the individuals recording the video are trying to make public is the authorities knowledge of the law. To hold the Public servants accountable to protect our rights as citizens as stated in the constitution.( FILMING IN PUBLIC)

It’s the police officers who’s duty it is to protect and serve, meaning to protect our constitutional rights. A public building “policy” can not go against a constitutionally protect activity. This is what they are trying to expose.

Again- it is in the interest of all governmental employees to not engage the individuals with the cameras. They are trying to get you to “act a fool” to get the police involved, so they can test the police officers knowledge.

Honestly, kudos to the police officers that understand what is going on and deescalate the situations.

Shame on those who don’t understand and escalate the situations leading to lawsuits.

It would be cool if they marked which one is the good one.

We all know that even if they are RIGHT NEXT DOOR to each other, different shops are drastically better/worse.

Yeah, I picked a couple of just regular glazed donuts from Big Y a couple weeks ago and they were so fluffy. They were amazing but that’s not something I can eat very often they’re so good but they’re terrible for you.
