1st - sorry if this is the wrong forum - I'm new.
On to it then ...
As a player contemplating a return to magic, and one who would only play Vintage (or type 1 as I remember it), I'm curious what the vintage tournament scene is like. Specifically, what caliber of players do you guys generally meet, what ages generally play vintage (I admittedly would rather not spend most of my time gaming with 14 yr olds, and assume most of the members here are much older), where are the best cities to play magic, and are there enough serious type 1 events to keep a guy playing competitively all year?
I'm about to move back to NYC this fall. I hope there is a decent place for serious gamers to play there, although I'm only familiar with a couple Warhammer shops. Judging from this board, it seems like Boston is "The Place" for Type 1 magic tourneys.
Any input or general comments anybody would like to add are most welcome. I'm sure I left out a number of smaller issues, but you get the idea from the vagueness of my post.
Thanks all!
You can find basically any kind of game at neutral ground, probably the best place to hang out I've ever played. The vintage scene is definitely older, mostly college age or up, a lot of grad students and lawyers. Not sure what the deal with the lawyers is.
NYC isn't a bad spot to live for vintage, if you have access to a car (Zip Cars is awesome). You can hit most tournaments with a 2-3 hour drive.
