Summary: <br> Building a Community – The Bad Dice Guide<br> I wanted to give some tips on building a community for gaming in your local area.<br> I’ve seen a lot of talk online recently about people not being able to find local players in their area. I believe that anyone can build a community for regular games night and an awesome Age of Sigmar gaming group<br> In this podcast episode I give you some easy to follow guides for building a community locally and talk about the exact process that I used to go from 2 of us playing Age of Sigmar to last month (May 2016) having the biggest AoS gaming night that I have heard of in the world. (I would love to be wrong about this, let me know if you had more than 13 tables of Age of Sigmar in 1 club night)<br> Below you will find some really simple tips that can help you find games, build a games club and promote that club and start building a community in your area.<br> Tip number 1.<br> This is the easiest but also the most important thing you can do for building a community.<br> TELL EVERYONE!<br> Like I said, easy.<br> Tell everyone you know that you have started a gaming night (not will be, HAVE) Let them know the time and date and how regular it will be. If you don’t know any of these details it doesn’t matter, just make them up you can always change the details at any time.<br> Arrange a night to play. Venue doesn’t matter. It could be a store, games club, someones house, wherever. Tell everyone you know and try to get at least 1 other player.<br> 2. Book a Night<br> OK, so after you tell everyone you have booked a night you had better get it done!<br> The details here are not important. What you are aiming for is to arrange something that is going to be regular. How regular is also not important.<br> We decided on monthly meetings. This worked for our group for a number of reasons, the most important reason is that we are all very busy and struggle to find time for gaming. This has made it very easy for us to skip meet ups and not commit to games. Setting 1 night a month enabled everyone to book ahead and make sure we had plenty of notice to make sure we are available for games night.<br> An additional bonus with monthly meetings is that it makes players feel that if they miss a night then because the next one is a long time away they are more likely to want to make it to this club night rather than go 2 months without gaming.<br> 3. Rince and Repeat, and repeat and repeat.<br> This is important. keep telling everyone you know that you have a regular gaming night and stick to those nights.<br> After after each night book the next one right away. Tell everyone you know how awesome your last game was (if it was rubbish don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!) and see if you can get at least 1 more player. You can easily play a 3 player game.<br> You and your opponent should post photos of your last game on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and local forums. Also post work in progress army pics for your next games night. Keep plugging your next night and telling people they are welcome to come along (this is where once a month was good for us, plenty of notice) offer to lend people an army if they just want to try AoS out.<br> Age of Sigmar is really easy to play with teams and un even numbers so don’t fall into the trap of having to pair off.<br> Here are a few good 3 player battle plans from the Realmgate Wars books.<br> <a href="http://baddice.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Convergence-of-Fate-.pdf">Convergence of Fate</a> has been given out with Games Workshop webstore orders.<br> This one can be found in the Balance of Power realm gate wars book.<br> 4. Promote, Promote, Promote.<br> Contact all the podcasts/bloggers/you tubers and ask them to plug your gaming group.<br> Fill in the blanks and send this to people on the list below to get started.<br> Hi,<br>
