Chicago area gamer looking for a good group

Save me a seat for when I get there in June!

Know any good apartments halfway between downtown and Evanston?

We'll see. IIRC, you were supposed to be coming into town about a year ago, weren't you?

I'm sure I can help show you around, if you like, once you are coming into town. Barring that, your best bet for apartment hunting if you don't want to use an agency is to pick up a Chicago Reader (they also have an online site).

Is anyone still looking for players?

I'm looking for a game somewhere near the southwest suburbs. I'm looking for more role-playing than combat. I have irregularly scheduled committments Sunday through Tuesday, so I'd prefer a game somewhere in the Wednesday-Saturday range.

I have some d20/3.5 knowledge and experience. I think I've lost count of how many years I've been gaming.

Hi, Axegrrl:

I am planning on running something in a few months, but I need to flesh out some of my ideas for a homebrew. I am leaning towards running something on a Saturday or Sunday, twice a month at Games Plus. (I am currently active in one of Mark's games.)

In the interim, can someone help Axegrrl find a group.

Will,
Quite a little operation ya gots here!

Good to see people connecting in the Chicago area.

I play out of Woodridge (next to Naperville & Bolingbrook).
I was looking but I believe we just filled our slots. I'm deffinitely gonna sub to this post so I know where to turn to for new gamers if the need arises.

Keep up the great er non-work Will!!

Slingbld~

Greetings All...

Ooops.

I was unaware of such an established Chicago area thread. I would've just posted my player search here and not made a new thread. I'll just paste my message below:

Chicago Based Realms Campaign Needs Players!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi everyone.

I need a couple of reliable players for a Forgotten Realms Campaign based in the Silver Marches. The group has been playing for quite some time, but bad luck and conflicting schedules have severely cut our numbers.

Who we are: Adults. I try to balance the game between simple dungeon crawls and complex intrigue to keep everyone happy. Players are currently about fourth or fifth level.

What I'm looking for: Adults. Must be able to play on Sunday afternoons. This is really important! I also would like to avoid rules lawyers and power gamers. I don't want to insult anyone, but we've had bad experiences with both.

As far as geography goes, I live on the north side of Chicago, right on the border of Evanston.

I just took a job in Evanston and am moving to nearby in June. I'm interested in finding some games. Unfortunately I love to role play but i'm definitely still a power gamer. I can't help but make powerful characters as thats what I would be in any fantasy world. I could make a weaker character but making an effort to do so would be a waste.

I stick to a specific role playing idea for each character but still make the character the best he can be. I like to play him smart as well (i'd play him dumb if low Int but I don't like those types of characters because it takes away from role playing).

Assuming I filled that slot i'd be reliable but you seem to be looking for something I cannot completely become. I'd be interested other that and the possibility that I may also be joining Williams game if he starts it on Sunday?

If you wanted to make contact you can email or aol me.

WR-I think I've spoken with Mark and might try to hop into his game and join ya when I'm in town this summer (last day of school is sometime around May 12th methinks), but we'll see what works out.

slingbld--woodridge, eh? That ain't too far from bolingbrook at all... I'm down at school until the middle of may, but after that and for most of the summer I'll be around. perhaps if you need an extra you can let me know

axegrrl - if you're still looking for something in the summer, let me know. i'm from bolingbrook and have myself a vehicle for transportation all across the southwestern suburbs. i've never gotten to do much heavy roleplaying at the table, but would love the opportunity.

 

[slingbld]

Heya all.
Our group is currently full. Just got 2 new players in.
However. I do plan on visiting this post often to keep my group's options open.
And yeah, Bolingbrook is dab smack next to Woodridge

Oh, this is also a wee "Bump" for the unofficial Chicago area meeting thread

I am in two near-Chicago games. My roomate runs one on alternate saturdays in Batavia, or at least will after we can find some players. And I run one on the other saturdsay in Dekalb. The latter especially is a bit of a drive for Chicagoins, I'm sure, but any suburb-dwellers or anyone able to drive for a bit are welcome to join one or both games.
