I'm moving to Monterey, CA in June 2008, courtesy of the USMC, and would love to find a RM group in the Monterey, Salinas, or San Jose area.
Anyone know of one? PM me or email

Anyone?

I am sort of new to the Bay area and haven't found any RM around here so good luck. I guess you are going to DLI. I was there in '89 up at foxtrot co. and it was a great experience. Have fun!!!
-
Well, not quite, although I did go to DLI in 90-91, and also 97. This time, it's NPS.
Maybe when I get there, we can get something set up.

Bump, just because.

Monthly bump

I'm still interested, but like I said, for whatever reason, this area seems really underwhelmingly interested in ICE. I was just down in Monteray a couple of weeks ago, nice memories! I really didn't appreciate it when I was 18.
-
Bump because I am almost there.
And yes, I didn't really appreciate it when I was there when I was 18, but I went back about 7 years after that, and really enjoyed the area. Monterey is beautiful, truly
-
Bad timing Caelric. I'm a Marine graduating from NPS in June 2008, and would've been interested. >:( Now I have to find someone in Hawaii.) Good luck and oo-rah.
-
Well, thats a bummer...
-
Bump for great victory!
-
No luck so far, wish there was someone (multiple someones) near here who wanted to play RM
-
I'm still interested! I would drive down there for a game night (although it would probably limit my beer consumption fairly dramatically, {sigh} what we suffer for art). Have you checked out if there is a game group in Santa Cruz?
-
PS, Dont suppose you know a guy named Jim (james) Hansen? Civilian? I heard a rumor he was down there.
-
Nope, no idea who that might be, sorry.
Haven't found any groups yet, either. although I haven't really been haunting game shops or anything. In fact, this board is mostly where I have done my looking.
I would certainly be willing to drive to Santa Cruz one a week or so for a RM game, or I could host here in Salinas, as well, if we ever find more than just the two of us.

Bah, is it so much to ask the universe to let me find some RM gamers nearby? Or maybe even Shadowrun, my other favorite game? or even Delta Green? I suppose it is my fault for liking somewhat obscure games.

Bump because I haven't done so in a while, although I expect nothing to come of it.

I'm a RM/MERP GM in the Sunnyvale area who hasn't gamed in a long time. I was thinking of getting back into it, but I'm a fair ways away from being ready. It also would probably be an online game using BRPG, and Ventrillo. I'd cover the BRPG licenses using their GM sponsored temp licenses, and ventrillo is free. Before this happens two things will need to happen for me. The first is I need to spend some time playing in a game. It's been about 15 years since I ran one, so I want a decent refresher before I try and run one again. The second is I need to get a lot farther along in the world/system design I am working on. I have the broad strokes down but I need a lot of detail, and a decent storyline. It's possible I would run a MERP or SW campaign first just to get my hand back in, but the old merp campaign I have well documented departed from Tolkien in some pretty major ways about mid way through the Third Age. In point of fact the latter half of the third age ended up looking a lot more like the first age. You'd have to look at it as more of a campaign setting than Tolkien's Middle Earth. I was much more into the Silmarillion than the LoTR trillogy.
The long and the short of it though is it will be several months before I am ready, and it wouldn't be a table top game.
-
Huh, ok thanks, but I am looking for a tabletop game. For me, an online game is about as much fun as playing WoW, which is to day not fun at all. Again, though I appreciate the offer.
-
No worries. I'm not in a position to run a tabletop game atm or I would.
-
If it is a matter of space, I can gladly provide the gaming space to play. On the other hand, if it is a matter of time, I can't really help with that...
-
It's a bit of both to be honest. My apartment has a noise curfew, and the walls are pretty thin. I push that limit enough practicing the violin. In addition my schedule is pretty tight so it will be easier for me to try and pull off something I can run from home which leads me to the online arena. I am also kind of interested in trying out some things with the online tools. I'd like to do some things that are more open ended which would be facilitated by the network tabletop programs.
In the long run I would like to find a decent tabletop game and I really don't want to go back to TSR to get it. I read the 4th edition rules, and they read like a pen and paper MMO. MMO's aren't role playing games.
-
Heh. "TSR" They went away long ago... Regardless, I agree with you on 4th Ed, and I think that is exactly what they were aiming for, to be honest, given the popularity of MMO's. #.5 isn't bad, certainly better than 2nd or 1st (in my opinion, that is), but none of them compare to RMSS for how I like gaming.
Either way, if you change your mind, or your schedule, let me know.
-
Well I guess I have a hard time thinking of them as Wizard's of the Coast. I'll always think of them as TSR.
-
Bump because it's that time
-
Bump because it has been two months since I last bumped

just because
