I'm from the lovely city of Holland, home of the Tulip Time Festival. If you have nothing better to do next April, come on over. Look at a windmill. Look at the tulips. Look at people dressed in Dutch period costumes. Look at me march in the last of these parades I'll ever have to do again. Just don't dress like a pirate. We've had bad experiences with pirates.
born and bred Michigan dirtfarmer. lived in the following cities: Union Pier, Three Oaks, Galien, Buchanan, Edwardsburg, Niles.
currently live in Albuqueque, NM (for last 12 years). only moved due to no job opportunities back home. scary, but i MISS the snow and winters from back home more than anything. you can keep the summers tho- it may be a dry heat here, but it actually makes a difference :)
Pathfinder? Ptolus? Two of my favorite words! Unfortunately being near detroit doesn't make this dream possible. :(*Raise Thread!*
I live in Marquette and am looking to run a Pathfinder in Ptolus game. *Wink-wink, nudge-nudge.*
Yeah, same here. You know it would be closer to go to a game in Kentucky or New York than in Marquette! :( (I met my wife at Michigan Tech, and she's from Calumet, so we do go back every other year or so ...)
I would be remiss if I failed to mention this thread. I'm new to the group, but from what I can tell we have about a half-dozen GMs and 3-4 times as many players. :)
I'm from Ypsilanti

Well, I highly recommend pbp as a good way to get your fix while you're working on that. :)
Have you tried connecting with other players at Fun 4 All? They do tend to be more about the comics, but it's worth a shot. There's also a small game store in Ann Arbor, called Get Your Game On. It's on Packard just off State. Parking's a b*$!$, but there's almost always people hanging around.Hope that helps. Good luck getting a group together.

Head to RIW in Livonia this Sunday. They are running scenarios #29 and #30, starting at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Almost every 2 weeks Uncleden (Dennis) holds a game day at RIW bringing in around 10-20 players.
If you're looking for a reoccuring home game, I'll be starting one soon in Howell.
And then in November there's U-Con at the U of M Union. Link. Lots of Pathfinder being offered there.
I'm just curious to see if anyone is from Michigan.
Hm! I'm surprised, I'd thought I'd replied to this thread!
I hale from Michigan, but like many others here, I fled in the past year and a half due to the economic crisis - mine spurred by a pesonal crisis of a being laid off nature. :) I'm now in Texas, and working is wonderful. My parents are still in Michigan, and are suffering as both lost their jobs as well, and my mom, a registered nurse, has a hard time getting 40 hours a week! I'm trying to convince them to move to Houston too, but it's hard - they've lived in Michigan their entire lives, and all three remaining grandparents are still there too.
::sigh::
Oh!
::waves at Andrew:: Hey there!

I lived in Holland for 3 years. Darn Dutchmen.
I hail from Gratiot County in Mid-Michigan. I've lived many places about the state. Went to University at Michigan Tech for a good 6 years. Most beautiful place on earth next to New Zealand, I swear! Still game once a week. Used to game twice a week, but my Monday night game broke up to do to a good many of my gaming members in that group becoming unemployed and heading back to school after 30... I am just thankful to be employed and still have one regular gaming night each week. If you wanna see what I do IRL, check out our webpage at My Job

Cool! Another Huskie! If you don't mind my asking, what years did you attend?

Looks like we just missed gaming together ... I was there from '92 to '96. Love the UP in the summer (we usually still go back to visit my wife's family in July), but the winters ended up destroying any tolerance I had for snow and cold at all. The 320+" of snow my senior year was just too much. And the Winter Carnival week in '95, where temps were -20F with -70F wind chills ... ugh!
Necro-post.
I live in Jenison, near Grand Rapids. I spent a lot of my leisure time growing up in Escanaba in the U.P. outdoors hiking and canoeing and getting dirty, but a generous amount of the rest of my childhood enjoying RPGs with friends.
Today I play/DM Pathfinder RPG and D&D 4E.
Hey, necro-post indeed! Glad to hear about your continuing gamings, even if I can't have the fun with you guys anymore! :)
Former Yooper here. I grew up in Gladstone, and graduated from Northern Michigan University. Alas, now I'm in San Diego, and wish I could afford to move back.
Woot! Finally, I'm not alone in my insanity. I'm also in San Diego and wish I could move back to MI. However, my wife, who is a native Californian, is...less than receptive to the idea.
