Tramps is closing. It has been our gaming space for decades. Below is a farewell from Perris Neuman.<\/p>\n

As one of our most veteran beards and a true lynchpin of the community, no one is better suited to describe how important Tramps was to us all.<\/p>\n

+ + +<\/p>\n

While we’re open till Thursday, this was my last weekend at Tramps. The last weekend i’ll ever spend at tramps.<\/p>\n

Letting that sink in is hard for me.<\/p>\n

I’ve been a patron of tramps since my 12th year on this planet. 5 days after we lock our doors forever, I turn 34.<\/p>\n

22 years. That’s a long damn time, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

For those of you who came down? I love you. For those of you who didn’t? I love you. For those of you hoisting a glass on Thursday? Those of you feeling this in your core? For those of you who feel like part of your childhood is dying? I’m there with you. 100%.<\/p>\n

But Remember. ALWAYS Remember. Community isn’t a building. It isn’t 4 walls and a roof. Community is a group of people. Great, wonderful people. Build your communities and keep them strong. I will help in every and all the ways I know how because I love you all. And I mean that.<\/p>\n

And you know I do.<\/p>\n

Yes, I plan on opening a shop with some great people. However, there will be a lot of time until then. You need to keep it alive. YOU need to keep it going.<\/p>\n

Teach your games to new players. Share your experiences. Do not forsake each-others wonderful company.<\/p>\n

There’s tears in my eyes. I wont lie about it. I saw some strong men cry today, I saw some people break today. For a lot of people this is a shop. For a lot more people this place was somewhere you came to meet people who understood you. Who wanted to enjoy the same hobbies as you.<\/p>\n

This was a safe place and I am absolutely honored I have been able to share that with you. To facilitate that for you. To lend an ear, a hand, some blood, sweat, and tears . . . and I’ll never stop.<\/p>\n

Thank you. Thank you so much. So many people have been thanking me. I did my job, my duty, and fulfilled my obligation to the community to provide you camaraderie. I appreciate the thanks but I’d do it ten thousand times over.<\/p>\n

Gaming saved my life. I don’t know how many times I’ve said it. Play it forward, my friends. Remember what Tramps did for your heart and soul. Play that forward and keep the hobbies alive.<\/p>\n

It’s been absolutely wonderful. You, my customers and friends, made it an absolute joy to get up every morning and come to work. I can’t wait to do it again.<\/p>\n

Thank you all.<\/p>\n

For those of you worried about the fate of the Pegasus Gulf, our tournaments and campaigns, fear not. We have secured a gaming space. It isn’t Tramps, but it will carry us.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
An announcement will be made in the coming days.<\/div>\n
