Salutations. Sorry to hear that there isn't a group here in Charlotte as of yet. I live close the Matthews and was hopeful. If anyone here might be interested in getting together into an unofficial capacity (my personal favorite anyway), I am happy to try and get together. I just bought the core books yesterday and am fascinated.
I'd been playing 4 since its arrival and like it okay, but I didn't realize how much I missed 3 or 3.5 or 3.x (as I've seen folks refere to pathfinder as) and I cannot wait to play it again... in its new and seemingly better incarnation.
Let me know and we'll get to exchanging data if you're interested.
Thanks!
