It seems to be a barren waste here, devoid of Pathfinder or even decent gaming shops. There seems to be plenty of options if I want to spend an hour each way driving... but I'm hoping to avoid that, since gas money is scarce right now.
Any players in the Western Houston/Katy area? I can host sometimes (I live near I-10 at Barker-Cypress) but not always. Looking for a weekend game every two or three weeks. I can GM Pathfinder, or play in a wide variety of other games. (My favorites, other than PF, are Hunter: the Vigil, and Scion.)
Looking for a home game, not PFS.
I live on Gessner and I-10. I don't really have time to run another game but if you need a player lets talk. I already run games on roll20.net but would like an "in person" game. I can play Pathfinder, World of Darkness, Mutants and Masterminds and various other games.
Man, it was humming there when I left, a year and a half or so ago (Westheimer and Beltway 8). Anyway, there are a number of existing Houston gaming threads -- hopefully one of them will give you a good lead.
@Backfromthedeadguy - cool, I'll get in touch if we can get some more folks. :)
@Kirth Gersen - yeah, I noticed a few, but they all seemed to be in Central Houston at a minimum, or often north Houston. I'm kinda trying to stay between Gessner and Avenue D (in Katy) East to West, and between Jarvis Rd. (in Cypress) and Beechnut St. North to South. I'm close to 30 miles from Asgard games - not a trip I want to make often until I have a source of gas money, lol.

I seem to remember there used to be a game store at Westheimer and Highway 6... I guess it's gone now, along with the Alamo Draft House :(
There's still an Alamo Draft House, on Mason Road. I have had the joy of attending once, since I moved here. :)
Do you remember what that game shop was called?

Midnight Games & Comics, maybe? -- but Google Maps doesn't show it. I remember hearing it was nowhere near as good as Asgard, though, which might explain why it's gone now.
One thing to bear in mind is that nearly every player I had in my home game in Houston also DMed their own game on different nights. That means you can't just set up shop and ask for players. On the other hand, campaigns to play in are reasonably easy to find, and if you make an impression there, you might be able to eventually start your own game as a reciprocal thing (which is what I did).
EDIT: Yelp tells me that Midnight is permanently closed.

Okay. But do me a favor and keep it small. I hate large groups. I'm fine with only one or two other people playing.

How do you define large? I prefer four or five players plus a GM. Six players in a stretch, with nobody playing pet-focused builds, but would hate a game with seven. I actually don't enjoy games with only one or two players and the GM.

To me smaller groups are better (three players and a GM). Btw have you looked in your private messages? I sent you my contact info if you want to discuss things in more depth.

Giving this a bump, since it has been a while. Got into a group but the DM had to move and the rest of the players had trouble coordinating schedules.
I moved a little closer to Central Houston (now inside Beltway 8 but outside the 610 loop), but work in Katy, so location preferences vary between days of the week.
Still not looking for PFS (but thanks for the attempt, Hazzard).
Employed now so gas concerns have eased! :D
@Derek Vande Brake: Any chance you/your group is looking for an extra player for a PFRPG campaign? This would be assuming you're still in Houston, naturally.
About me: Haven't played tabletop RPGs in years, but never lost interest. Did a bit playing and DMing D&D 3.0 & 3.5 back in high school. Moved to Houston a little over a year ago and have been tinkering with the idea of joining a group.
I've done some research on Pathfinder (dig the flavor, mechanics, and Paizo's style in general), but haven't actually been in a PF game yet.
Living over in Memorial area/The Villages, but can drive a bit to meet up. Hypothetically speaking, I could eventually host in my tiny studio apartment, but I'd need to get my mitts on some folding chairs & tables.
If you or someone you know would be interested in having another player (and/or eventually GM, once I shake off the rust) or just meeting up to discuss the possibility, let me know. :)
Even though this is an older thread, I have just moved to Cypress/NW Houston and would like to join a gaming group 1-3 times a month.

I'd potentially be willing to run a Kirthfinder game, if there's sufficient interest. I'm in Bear Creek Village.
P.S. Free beer at every session!
My group is looking for another to join our Pathfinder table up at the 290/Fairbanks N Houston area. We game every other Saturday. If you're wanting more info then send me a PM.
