At the moment I'm living where Dracula first stepped foot onto british soil...;)Bram Stoker's head?
Very funny. :P :)
Whitby Bay -Goth captital of the world! -Although i'm not there now, just visiting some (very Gothy) biker friends. :)
I'll have to try that someday. I'm just not sure about a PB&Mg sandwich sounds all that appealing.
However, a PB & Nutella sammich is good stuff.

Hmmm... I´m not sure how to imagine goth bikers - long black leather coats flying behind them in the wind?

Damn straight it is!
I'm in Mesa, AZ by the way. Added myself to the Frappr map thingy.
It's currently 82 degrees... and it's 11am... on March 16th. It only gets hotter from here......

So did you find anything besides old shell fragments? I know that between Killeen & Florence there's some pretty good areas for other stuff. The most we found on my grandmother's place was a BUNCH of arrowheads.
Sorry, Tegan, I lost track of this thread. . .
But to answer your question, yeah, we have some cool holdings. We've IDed 2200+ sites (prehistoric and historic, split about 1/2 + 1/2) and had an artifact collection in excess of 200,000 objects/records/images etc. The single coolest thing in the collection was a baby mammoth humerous, but we had 1000s of spear and arrow points, lots of lithic tools and that sort of stuff. If you're grandmother was from around the area between Florence and Killeen, might I hazard the guess that she was from that thriving bastion once known as Ding Dong, Texas?

WOW, a baby mammoth humerous, how cool! Actually, she was from a little south of Florence & Andice, down on the San Gabriel river in the Rockhouse Community. I'll have to ask my uncle (the family historian) about Ding Dong, TX.

I haven't rolled a single d20 in over six months! I've been buying Dragon and Dungeon off the shelves here (which fly off the shelves, by the way) because I forgot to change my shipping address for my subscriptions. So at least I've been keeping up with some of the game. And I occasionally get time to jump on the boards here, which is a welcome retreat.

Georgetown, TX - making SUM cry. Hmm, wonder if tears of a mezzoloth are caustic?
Georgetown, TX here as well. Though I'm only actually there 1 out of every 3 days thanks to my brillant work schedule.

It's ok. Last time I was in there (a month or so) though, he didn't have much on the shelves. I asked the owner about it and he said he'd be getting more stuff soon.
Guess I'll have to check it out next weekend then. Thanks.
STL, MO, as everI'm on the other side of the state, in the godforsaken Midland Empire north of Kansas City. Thank God I get to travel a lot for my job, I get over to St. Louis every few months, and this winter I spent a month in Europe, mostly in Vevey, Montreux, and all around Southern & mid-Switzerland, but with side trips to Paris, Amiens, and Chamonix, France, and Milan, Italy. Best part was getting to bring my wife along. Probably heading back there again in July.
My twin bro lives in Liberty and commutes to the Sprint campus in Overland. I've been to KC a few dozen times and i always have a great time...especially at the boulevard microbrewery (well, maybe not so micro any more!)
As ever,
ACE
Pocatello, Idaho, USA. Nice little campus town, about 50k population. Nice place. Good gamer population with some good stores nearby, small enough to be clean and safe but fairly multicultural and with some mighty fine restaurants and such. Nice downtown area that dates back to the 1930s, though it needs more love to keep its businesses in business. Got myself a two bedroom apartment for $600 a month including all utilities.
Not that I'm trying to seduce any of you fine Paizo folks into moving here and joining my gaming group. Heavens no.
Ik werk bij een universiteit dichtbij de Franse grens. Het is een kleine stad, maar wij zijn op een hoofd reizende rijweg, zodat is er altijd een goede mengeling van interessante mensen om aan bij de biertuin te spreken. Wij moeten wekelijks zittingen van DnD met 6-8 bij elke groep.
I am currently in my apartment on the 11th floor in Taichung, Taiwan. Procrastinating before typing up a couple of midterm exams for my students. Eating dumplings and listening to rain on my roof.
As an aside:
Gumball, Ek kan Nederlands verstaan, want ek is fluks in Afrikaans, maar dis snaaks van U om die taal hier te gebruik. Miskien sou dit beter wees om in Engels te tik. Jammer om jou te pla.
[Gumball, I can understand Dutch, because I am fluent in Afrikaans, but it is strange/wierd of you to use the language here. Maybe it would be better to type in English. Sorry to trouble you.]
I inerted this in square brackets, which must have prompted the server to ignore it. What I wrote above was:

Don't get me started on the availability of books. Try living in a Chinese speaking country where foreigners are legally denied a credit card unless they can get a co-signer to accept and underwrite all the risk. I have lived here for five years and am still not allowed a credit card, shops refuse to order RPG books in English, and the Chinese D&D books were translated by drunken monkeys in a room full of stamps.

Wow!! "Engrish" at its finest!
Guess I'll have to check it out next weekend then. Thanks.I know BookPeople has a !small! selection (sad, since it's otherwise an awesome bookstore) of RPG books. The selection fluctuates a bit. I haven't found any really outstanding gaming places in Austin. If you find any please share!
Dragon's Lair is about the only one I go to in Austin, although there's one in Round Rock I just haven't been to that one. As far as books are concerned though, I go to 1/2 Price.

Thank you Big Jake. Come home soon and safe and ready to game.
No body else is from Maui? So who is buying all the D&D minatures at Borders? If it ain't me or the people I game with, who else on Maui games? Please let me know? I feel out of the loop.
Brooklyn, NY.
NO.
SLEEP.
TILL BROOKLYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beijing China for now, originally from Saint John N.B. Canada. and as obscene taxes go. Yup we have them. Well in N.B. at least there are none in China! Oh and Golf Clubs are cheap as all hell. 120 bucks for made in China Pings...

Weihai, Shandong...
I am in the the semi desert of Utah. (And no I only have one wife) LOL
Other then it being hard to find a good group there is AWESOME trout fishing here.
Later from the beehive state.
Beautiful Port Townsend, WA, laughing at the Paizo folks with all their rain and their traffic and their Alaskan Way Viaduct on the other side of the pond. Well, this little tiny pond we call the Puget Sound, not the other more traditional pond known as the Atlantic Ocean.
Sigh. They may have traffic and rain and collapsing highways, but they also have more gamers in Jason Bulmahn's cubicle than we have in our town. Still, there's enough gaming fun around here to keep me happy.

We have a pretty big group here in the Green Zone. They sell books there? We don't have that.
Currently in the Louis Armstrong Rehabilitation Center located on 108th street and Northern Blvd, on the PC all over the internet, sorta like rats in the Bronx or Baldwins in Hollywood.

Hey! I grew up in Port Orchard WA. I sure miss it, you're right on the "pond" I grew up swimming in.
I am currently in northern California, just south of Eureka, about three hours south of the Oregon border, and five hours north of San Francisco. There is nothing here, redwoods, rednecks a whole lot of cows and the worlds largest hippie population.
At work, surfin' the net to find things to do Fri thru Sun, when I'm in Pasadena, CA! WHOO HOOO, mini vacation! I know I'm for sure going to the Ren Faire in Inglewood on Saturday. Other then that, we're pretty open I think. Anyone have any ideas?
Belleville, IL, which is about 30 miles east of St. Louis, MO.
It's the saddest, greatest town in the midwest.

Heh heh, I felt the same way growing up on Kauai trying to figure out who the other 2 readers of Dragon magazine were since our Waldenbooks would only get in 3 copies. It wasn't any of the guys I gamed with all throughout junior-high & high-school, and even as some players came and went in our group I never did meet those other readers/gamers.

Still in Seattle, WA (well, Magnolia, really), and still not gaming (our group disbanded last October) though I think that is about to soon change.

Yeah, well I'll put my 2 cp in. I am sorry to be so late posting, but Houston, TX here. I have had 2 tours in Germany (Kitzingen and Garlstedt), Stationed in Oklahoma, California, Louisiana, Arizona, Hawaii, and Texas. So you could say I've bounced around the worl and the USA.
Newton, IA United States till August then Ames, IA for school. Go Cyclones (now, if I root for the University of Iowa (Hawkeyes) will I get lynched by my fellow students here at ISU)
Kernersville, NC. Nestled strategically between Greensboro and Winston-Salem.
