So I went on a bit of a safari today in the name of Midwest Warfare. I bumped into a new group on accident at the school today. They're from a bit farther north, so I referred them to the guys here in town instead of trying to talk them into driving 2 to 3 hours to play with us. After meeting him and getting his info, I went on into the local shop here in town to help cement a working relationship with the locals. I guess this is how networking goes... Who'd have thought that Snibble and I launching a gaming group would have led me to such an interesting position. I find it a point of pride that the full blown competitive tournaments in and around Indianapolis have around 12-15 players and we in our small group have 12 regular players and a handful of extras. And even better, we're still growing. As I meet and speak to new players from all over this edge of the state, we're going to be picking up new players. I already know of two or possibly three more people who are going to be playing in the next tournament, putting our numbers up to around 15. I'm proud of that.
In a slightly different direction, I've managed to drag a few new friends into the wonderful world of Magic and I've managed to get my girlfriend to agree to learn. At least she's willing to pick up the basics.... It's a start. I'm looking forward to teaching her, too. It'll be a good time if I don't nit-pick and drive her mad.
So, on this new bit of my journey, I'm going to become a teacher of Magic again... Fun. I hate teaching the basics. I suck at it.
