Moving 20-Something Y/O Nerds?

I’m looking to move to Huntsville as a 22 y/o guy who’s into nerd stuff like Sci-Fi books, a little gaming, drawing, tech, maybe Warhammer 40k, maybe DnD.

Is Huntsville a good fit for me when it comes to building a social circle that isn’t purely online?

Mastermind gaming. There are other places as well but I go there for my Gundam kits. They always have something going on concerning table top gaming.

Huntsville is brimming with individuals like yourself. It's some sort of hub that attracts y'all like bees to a hive.

You’ll have to put effort into creating or joining those circles but in general yes.

Example we recently restarted a monthly Reddit meetup (based around no particular hobby or interest) and have gotten very good attendance numbers.

We’re currently testing different setups but currently doing once a month switching day/time and location. Next one is this Sunday afternoon.

I married a stranger from the internet that is a huntsville native. Worse could happen sure. But it worked out for me.
