Sounds like y'all are making the best of the situation. The best games come about from a) desperation and b) imagination. I played White Wolf a long time ago, have been looking to get into it again. Maybe I can fly over...

Anyway, Iowa is pretty good for gaming, besides being a state comprised almost totally of corn, soybeans, and pigs. Lots of gamers, because gaming is a cheap and readily-available hobby that compensates for our lack of good museums, beaches, etc.

I've been blessed with very solid gaming groups and awesome GMs/DMs, so I count myself very lucky. On top of individual groups, we also have small conventions (one is coming up this weekend!) and last year my friends and I attended GenCon, which we'll be doing this year as well! It's a blast.

E-mail me if you want to keep in touch, I'm always good for swapping story/game ideas, or just nerd talk in general. beau.pinkham@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you!

Heh, I know what you mean. Watching people come and go, meet up and part, it was a very calming and contemplative time. Of course, the trains being late all the time gave me a lot of time to "meditate."

What's the gaming situation like in Croatia? I made a friend on a ride through Macedonia who gets some gaming done in Skopje, but she said that RPGs aren't all that popular in south-central Europe.
