I was able to find a Dagorhir group of 6 people, and we've grown to almost 40 people in three months.... We meet every Sunday for 5-6 hours! Every Sunday. BUT ......
I can't find 3 people to Role Play with, even any day of the week every other week, and it's been almost a year. Even with The Bookery here locally. They no longer have a gamers' board for posting (and they are going more and more "wargamer" *sighs*) 4th Ed sure didn't help.
My closest Pathfinder Societys are over an hour from here, south or east.... I'd start locally, but don't see it taking off because of my past experiences this year....
Any ideas on how to somehow reach those who really want to play?

There is an outside chance I may be able to help you out. I run a weekly 3.5 game in Dayton and play in another 3.5-PFRPG hybrid game that runs monthly. Furthermore, I know of at least two other groups that are playing in the Dayton and Fairborn area that may need players and I have connections in Cincinnati as well. While I do not have an opening right now at my weekly game, I am always on the lookout for players in the area and might be able to hook you up with a group. If you would like to talk more, please reply here with an email address and I will email you.

My dad was from the rural area of Cincinnati, Ohio but moved to New England after college. We would visit his family every summer for a week or so up until the last couple years. I have very fond memories of going to Reds games, the Dayton airshow, King's Island, the Serpent mound... all good stuff. Plus Ohio folk are *much* nicer than New Englanders.

I like Ohio.
I just miss my small town as opposed to Columbus.
Well, Somerset is a nice town.
I am from Thornville myself (Thornport actually, but there is little difference) and I sometimes miss it. Life was a bit miserable for me though, so I don't find myself missing it all the time. Though even I will admit the issues I had were over 15 years ago, in high school, so it is a bit unfair to judge it the same way now.
But the area is beautiful and it will always have an overtone of contentment for me.
By the way, I only know you are from the area because there are only a few people on the Columbus Pathfinder site on Facebook. :) Looking back, I thought I had joined that page but I guess I didn't. But no creepy stalker stuff or anything.

Those are all very great things about Ohio. And we are nicer than New Englanders. :) I can vouch for that.
We head to King's Island every year, for their Halloween celebration. It is a great deal of fun. I have not been to the Serpent Mound in many years. I really ought to head back. And while I am not crazy about baseball, I do enjoy a game or two every so often. Soccer and hockey, on the other hand, is an obsession and we have both in Columbus.
There are some things I love about Ohio, some things I hate, and some things I am indifferent about. I think that is natural when you live in the same state all of your life. But I have met some of the greatest people here and my closest friends are all from Ohio. So, in the end, Ohio has been more "win" than "lose" for me.

LOL, gods, did you go to Sheridan
No worries on stalking though, to quote Jane: Friendship's more lasting than love, and more legal than stalking.

I did go to Sheridan. I graduated class of 1994.

Just missed you. I was class of '90 (but you knew that).
In hindsight, it's likely a good thing. I was more open minded than several of my classmates, but that's not saying much :-(

I wasn't actually sure when you graduated but I figured it had to be before my time.
I had some really close, fantastic friends at Sheridan. And then I had some people who thought constant harassment was fun. I handled both pretty well, I think. Finally, there were those who just didn't care enough to say or do anything. I respected those people because they knew how to keep to themselves. :)
I got to play plenty of D&D while in high school, enjoyed being part of the theatre program, and I apparently wore a sign that said "I am gay!" that I couldn't see. :)So it was hit and miss. I still have some fond memories of that time, so I guess I am ahead of the curve. I can't imagine my teenage life was any worse than a lot of others. Besides, it was over 15 years ago, I have come to peace with a lot of that time.
What I found interesting are the stories I heard after leaving. It is amazing what teenagers do to others to cover up their own shortcomings or confusion. It goes to show, at that age, we are all just uncomfortable balls of stress waiting to go off, despite how it seems at the time.

QFT
I grew up(well, spent all 18 years of my childhood, not sure I ever grew up) in Vermont, my wife grew up in Massachussets, most of our relatives are from New England. One of the reasons we live here is Community.
Even those who dislike your religious, ethnic, racial, or political background will talk to you in a grocery line if you start a conversation. It just feels much more civil.
In New England they just glare at you like "how dare you affront me by speaking in my direction". LOL
And I was born in New York, because of a visit to relatives, and I was NEVER considered a Vermonter because of that.... nevermind I was in NY state for all of three hours before my parents took me home and I lived there for 18 years. I was always "the Newyawka"... I didn't, and don't, mind, but always found it so odd.
Here in Ohio, after I lived here for a year, I was considered a "native" because I hadn't gone serial killer or left. =P

Well by all means, feel free to add me on Faceook *laugh*Perhaps I shall, so long as you don't mind have a pinko-commie tree hugger as a Facebook friend. :)
Heh, you've not met my mom. :-P
Beth Crossan says hi, BTW. If we can drag her up from New Lex, that's anotehr gamer.

See, my mother is about as conservative as it gets. Which is interesting because that was a major shift she made when I was about 12. Before that time she was kind of a hippy. Very disconcerting. But it helped me understand differing points of view, especially after some of the debates we would have while I was in high school.
I think Beth friended me on Facebook a while back. It has been a long time since I have seen her.

Or you asked too many darned questions about the old Whateley place.
No, I am sure I'd remember that.... hmmmm... nope, the last thing I remember before them glaring at me was seeing the yellow sign..... strange.
