Hey folks,
I am new here on the boards. I am really looking forward to the DFRPG coming out. However, I am not currently involved in a table top group and have not been for a while. So the basic reason for this post is to see if there is anyone in my area, but also to let other people post where they live so that they can maybe meet up to start a group.
Anyway, I live in Madison, Wisconsin (although I am in London until January). If anyone is from that area and wants to discuss possibly starting a group then please leave a note here.
Take care,
Jeremy

I know the feeling. It's just that no one plays what I like. :)
Got a local bookstore or a library? Make a gaming registry.
Look at the section of this page called Building a Gaming Community.

I have never been in a table-top group but will find the excuse when the RPG comes out. Anyway, I might be the closest up here in Green Bay.
-
:-\ Ocean Shores, Washington, here. Most of the permanent population is made up of retirees who aren't the least bit interested in gaming. I'm a D&D'er from WAY back ('79) and would love to get into a Dresden Files campaign when the RPG is completed, but I think I have a better chance of hitting the lottery.
-
richland washington...ive already passed the dresden files out to family and friends like heroin...so i dont think i will have any problems finding a group, but if anyone is in the tri cities...
-
Manton, Michigan...What's that? Never heard of it? I don't blame you.
-
I'm here in the KC area trying to get a new gaming group started.
-
Chat, TN here.
-
I'm in Chicago. My gaming group will probably give the game a spin.

Good God! I googled that, and you really are in the middle of nowhere. I know a couple gamers down in Lansing, so I was hoping to hook you up. But, um, that looks like a three hour drive? Maybe not.
I'm in the Washington, DC area (Herndon, VA to be specific), if anyone's looking for a game.

Not many flags raised for the UK yet...

That's right, your people did try to take over the world through the cunning use of flags.
Is it true the the reason the sun never sets on the British Empire is because God is afraid of what the English will do in the dark?
-
Absolutely, old chap. Pip pip, what ho?
Spiffing.
Have you got a flag? I have.
-
No, but I do have some Hob Nobs.

Top-hole, wot?

I live in Pittsfield, Mass.
i don't think i will find many players in town(although Proven Guilty has been checked out of my libary almost as soon as we got it) but as soon as it comes out i'm ordering it and going to run a game with my group. thats my battletech, d&d, swrpg and other games if anyone is in the area andwants to play sometime.

I'm in Pittsburgh, PA. I think I'm going to have to convert some friends here.
And Nemo, von Bek, congratulations. I think I woke my neighbors up choking on my water. Some things you expect on an RPG board; Eddie Izzard and UK jokes are not among them. Top form, y'all!

Thanks, I aim to please. Be thankful you are not in Pittsburg, KS.
Now, all the animals with long ears on the side of the boat...

We do try. Or maybe we're trying... very trying... ;D

Austin, TX for me

I just moved to South Dakota for a job a few years ago. There is no one up here!

I feel so blessed here in Kingston, NY where we have had a gaming group since 1979. People come and go, but the group has held fast.
May I suggest some things to help you with founding your gaming group?
You can find RPGists a number of ways, your local book or hobby store. Post a notice there stating that you would like to start a game up.
Your school/college might have an RPG club under any of many names, or you can try posting at your loca library (some have a community room where you caneven play until you know the group members better.)
Or you can ask two (or more) friends to try it out with you, and learn together as you go.
The trick is to find a Game Master/Story Teller who knows better than to play against the party. That is the way to darkness...
-
Newly arrived in Chapel Hill, NC.... And definitely hopeful of finding gamers or even just coffee chatters in the area! ;D
-
Southern Indiana here, more of a lack of time problem than a finding people problem *well, at least I haven't looked for a while so I can assume it's not a people finding issue*.
-
I'm new to these fora, but not new to Harry Dresden or RPGs (I've been playing since the magic rules for Chainmail came out ;D)
I live in Elk Grove, CA and I'm looking forward to the game, too.
-
Fuquay Varina, NC...about 30 minutes outside Raleigh. Haven't played anything but DnD for years, before that was Rifts.

South Dakota?
I'm in Southwest Minnesota.
On the (slightly official) college gaming club bulletin board I have a list of places (around MN but I think South Dakota also) gaming people and areas.
http://southwestgaming.proboards81.com
Or I could just suggest them here. ;) Ever heard of MAGE?

I'm new to the RPG front. I've been wanting to get into it for a while, especialy while I was in college myself, but I didn't have enough time. Now that I do have the time, I can't find the people! I'm in Huron, by the way, anything you could sugest would be great.
-
Yeah. That's South Dakota. ;)
There's D&Ders but not much else around where I am. It's not my style. :)
According to the map, Brookings is about an hour away? MAGE (http://www.mage-page.com) runs some game days there, about one a month, I think. Brookings also has a groovy game store that I think gets some activity, with a used book store that stands next to it!
The stores that run Friday Night Magic might also have some RPGers. Are some of them around Huron? :D

There's a positively virulent Battletech group not too far east of you, out the Boston way. At least, I think they are still there, that was where I last found them (alas, to play Heavy Gear). There is also a nice convention not too far west of you, the Schenechtedy Wargamers Association or some such thing.
I'm in Attleboro, MA. Usually end up driving to Boston or the Cape to get some gaming in.

Ok i'm on the border of VA and NC slap in the middle, so anyone near by give me a yell we'll work something out. Looking to start a game club soon anyway

So, what, Danville? South Boston?
My wife went to Averett College, in Danville.

Talk about old home week - I spent my teenager years in Danville. Graduated from GWHS in 1979.
My mom and a HUGE chunk of my family still live in the area. I'd say that I might be related to a big chunk of the population in the area.

martinsville, right next to danville, I avoid saying martinsville cause most time people bring up nascar ew

I'm in the Twin Cities area (Saint Paul / Minneapolis) of Minnesota.
I would love to see my way into a Tabletop Game.

A really great way to find gamers in your area is www.penandpapergames.com (http://www.penandpapergames.com).

I am in Seattle. I and another are looking to get a game started. PM me.

Is this heaven? No its IOWA! Waterloo to be specific.
Anyone . . . listens to the crickets.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada with absolutely no hope of ever cracking this open at my gaming table (my group absolutely refuses to consider anything but D&D 4e).

There's also a Google Doc with a few listings. https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AlHt7ttQxmPVdGpLOVI3VGpQZzlTZFBIXzBpTkxBZEE&hl=en#gid=0

Gallup/Grants Area in New Mexico. I am just starting a game with two players looking for more.

Waterloo is not that far from me, sitting here in Omaha which is still part of Nebraska.

I live in Troy, NY. If you're in Pittsfield, I wonder if we've met before through BattleTech (though I haven't been active in that for... Oh, 2 years or so).

No, not that far . . . 4 1/2 to 5 hour drive, 250-275 miles away. Heck Chicago is just as close! :)
Still not something I would be doing weekly. Two tanks of gas, around $80 a pop to drive there and back.

Currently hanging around in Reading, Pennsylvania.
Calgary, Alberta, Canada with absolutely no hope of ever cracking this open at my gaming table (my group absolutely refuses to consider anything but D&D 4e).
Allow me to say that I know that feeling all too well. Here's to hoping we all start finding decent groups, ne?

Austin, TX here.
We're looking to play a DFRPG here soon once the books come out...I plowed through the PDFs in a couple of days and LOVE this game. I'd never read a DF book prior to picking up the game. I've started reading (Ok, listening to...I drive a lot) the books and they are a TON of fun.
