Hello, I don't post here much but I was wondering if there is a vintage scene anywhere in Rhode Island or close to it~40/50mi.  I've called/visited all of the stores on the community forum over time, and all of them don't have an active vintage scene anymore.  Is there another store which hosts vintage (or even legacy) tournaments on a regular basis?

If anyone knows of some places to play nearby, I'm all ears.  Thanks.

Whereabouts in RI are you?

There's a group of about 5 players (myself included) that go to Stillpoint in Fall River MA, just across the border, pretty frequently. They don't really hold T1 tournaments, but we play quite a bit.

There's also Monday Night Vintage at Scholars in Bridgewater. It's a reasonable drive, depending on from where in RI you're heading.

I live in Coventry, which is in the middle of Rhode Island.

I think I checked out Stillpoint on mapquest before.  It's about 31 miles from my house.  That's only a gallon of gas there and back, so I might have a check it out one weekend maybe.  Their website they didn't hold any type I tournaments, but I saw that they hold FNM which is better than nothing.

Bridgewater is a little further, about 55 miles.  I don't know if I could justify making that trek (especially on Mondays Razz)

Stillpoint is close enough to consider though.  It's only about an hour away.

If you're looking for FNM, Die-hard games is very close.  It's a nice store, just out of providence.   Scholars in bridgewater is also nice.  it's about 45minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes (depending on traffic) from myself in cranston.  A great place to check is the calender, as there are frequently tournaments within 2 hours of RI

Yeah, I've noticed that there are tournaments that are relatively close (worth going to).  However, I want to find a group of weekly type 1 players so I can get back into vintage and get some play testing etc.  I don't want to just show up without any experience or metagame knowledge.  But yeah, hopefully once I get x4 Wasteland x4 Null Rod I'll be all set to get back into vintage.

Alright then, I guess it's settled.  Bridgewater is the closest weekly T1.  I'll have to give them a try when I get the chance.  Thank you guys very much.

It's great to find another vintage player in RI.  My days at monday night will be drawing to a close due to college without a car, but TOOL, and Nefarias are frequently there.  The skill level there is very high, and it's a great place to get better
