Saturday Meetup Locations
Mar 3-5, 2017
It's still a little early in the day for coordinates, but if you are anywhere nearby, this weekend is CincyCon 2017 (in Hamilton, OH), clear-but-cold weather expected all 3 days. Hope to see you there.

On the one hand, the official coordinates are in the Art Van Atta Park, 2 miles SW of the I-70/I-75 interchange, which is an awesome place.
On the other hand Saturday the 11th is International TableTop Day, so you should consider going to your "Friendly Local Games Store".
(or make it to both?)
Apr 4, 2015
Again in Dayton, Near Sinclair Community College (Go Tartans!) & downtown
So many good places nearby for gaming.
Sep 20, 2014
Right smack in Dayton, just up the road from Ghostlight Coffee.
(well maybe next time)
Jun 28, 2014
Less than 2 miles from my house
Apr 5, 2014
Today is International Tabletop Day so go to your local games store, there's probably stuff goin' on.
Mar 15, 2014
Time to try again.
Another easy to get to spot, on the Butler Tech campus in Hamilton.
(as usual:) "Anyone interested?"
Oct 05, 2013
An easy-to-get-close-to location at the south end of Springboro.
Looks like it is the "Bus Facility" by Springboro High School & Dennis Elementary.
I think we might not be allowed to the exact calculated spot, and I don't know where a good place to sit together and play games would be, but at least we can easily get to the general area.
Anyone interested?
Jun 01, 2013
In the parking lot at the (defunct) movie theater behind the Alex-Bell shopping center in Centerville. 40% chance of rain.
I'll be bringing Candy Land and my family. I'm also hoping to deflower the Lima graticule on my first geohashing expedition.
Follow the link for more details.
