[QUOTE="Thomas Shey, post: 8142708, member: 7026617"] And I gamed all up and down the West Coast during the same period, and while people occasionally had homesteads of some kind (a castle, an inn they owned, one of my characters had a ship) management of same was never a big part of it. Given the spread of that, I'm pretty comfortable saying what I said, unless you want to claim wide areas of California, Oregon and Washington were aberrational (they were in some ways certainly, in that they largely grew out of SF fandom with some wargamers mixed in rather than the inverse you got around Lake Geneva, but I don't think that's the answer by itself). In addition I was in communication with some scattered groups in other areas (notably around MIT) and the situation was not vastly different with them. [I]Included[/I], yes. Focused on it to the exclusion of dungeon crawling and outdoor adventuring, no. [/QUOTE]
