I am very familiar with Magic, but seeing as I don't know where the Leeds/Yorkshire area is, I am probably not close to it. Magic Online is a reasonable alternative if you're looking to become a competitive player, but yea if you're looking to play as just something fun to do with friends, then yea it really is no substitute. You way mant to try Magic related messageboards (www.mtgnews.com, www.mtgsalvation.com, wizard's site: http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=131) to find a playgroup. Otherwise, if you can get on Magic online, you may be able to meet people on there that are from your area. In my opinion though, the best way to get into a playgroup would be to meet people at the local store, where you can tell much easier if the people are going to be people you'd like to play with in the future. Friday Night Magic (FNM) is a relatively casual and fun place to start. http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=events/magic/fnm I'm fortunate enough to live in Madison, which has a very active Magic scene. I can pretty much find a group ready to draft any night of the week, and Madison is also the premeire city for 5-color (www.5-color.com). We always have a strong representation at tournaments in the twin cities and Chicago also. Good luck finding a group. (You can't convince you other friends to start playing?) It really is the best game I could imagine. I've been playing for 8 years and know that I'll never get sick of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:142368 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
