Anyone know of a links page or any good way of find the groups that run these sorts of things?

All I can find is the main one in the UK: http://www.megagame-makers.org.uk/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/mmakers/

One in the US in NY http://megagamesociety.com/ https://twitter.com/MegaGameSociety https://www.facebook.com/megagamesociety

And a random twitter account https://twitter.com/chicagomegagame

I read there is also some activity in Australia, but couldn't find any links

We just ran two events in Seattle.

The "MegaGame Society" is sort of the over-arching organizing group (they licensed Watch the Skies from the UK group, updated it significantly, and are recruiting more groups to run it locally).

They're definitely the folks to follow for information on games outside of the UK.

Any plans to run any more on the west coast this winter? I'd love to participate.

We'd like to! We're thinking of something this winter, but are taking a much-needed break for a few weeks.

Our first event was a lot of work and these are entirely labors of love--the ticket cost lets us basically break even.
