Like warhammer, infinity, etc, or tabletop rpg board games (aftermath, mice and mystics, etc)?

Seems like everyone only wants to play computer games nowadays, but I'm thinking I might start a games club for neuroatypical youth in my area. I found focussing on a board or tabletop (and being good at remembering lots of rules) took the pressure off social interaction, and helped me a lot. Do you think I would get much interest?

I don't know if really related, but I liked D&D, although not able to play as much as I like. I did just recently tried my first hand at painting a miniature, mostly following a tutorial, but plan on painting some others that I have.

Traveller ("Science-Fiction Adventure In The Far Future") uses miniatures for space, air, maritime, and ground combat.  It's also a role-playing system.

I have, me and my boyfriend where playing the warhammer game Necromunda with some people, but it was getting to be too much having to go every Sunday since much of the time my boyfriend works on saturday so sunday ends up being his only day off. So we kinda dropped out of that group.

Currently though I am painting some Grots(basically goblins) for a different warhammer game, warcry, so me and my boyfriend can play against each other to learn the rules and all that. Then we'll probably try and see if we can find other people to play with.

There used to be a Warhammer group where I live however after the GW sales rep screwed over our FLGS owner it pretty much died and got replaced with MtG groups.
