So I’ve been busy lately trying to meet new people locally. I figure the easiest way for me to do that is to go where the people I would want to hang out with are hanging out. For me that means going to bookstores and gaming stores. I suppose I could go to bars, but the idea here is to make new friends that aren’t drunk.<\/p>\n
I’ve been to every single one of the local gaming stores. There are five. Three of them have gaming space. I’ve met a few people at each of the stores, but man it’s hard to keep track of names. I’ve met so many people in such a short period of time that they all start to run together.<\/p>\n
On top of that, it definitely doesn’t help that I’m out of town three days a week. Mid-week is the prime gaming time for most people my age. I’ve met quite a few folks that have something going on Tuesdays through Thursday when I’m in Chicago.<\/p>\n
That said, I’m playing in a D&D game already. Sunday afternoons at 1PM. Playing a Gnome Bard named G\u00fcsil Snapfingers (for those in the know… yes, I resurrected the name G\u00fcsil because I thought it fit).<\/p>\n
Now all I need is for one of the local stores to commit to running a few D&D Minis and Dreamblade tournaments and I’ll be all set gaming wise. I still need to meet a lot more people before I find the few that will become my local friends.<\/p>\n
I guess this is my way of saying I miss you guys back home. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
