Welcome to the boards, j.duehring. You might want to check out the Chicago ENWorld GameDay link in my sig. It's a good way to meet other gamers in the Chicago area.

I was just about to mention that myself.

Hi,

I'm looking for a good gaming group to join as a player. I work downtown and live in the western suburbs. I am 33 and a working professional with a family, so I am looking for a group of "mature" players for lack of a better word.

I have not played 3.5E but am not new to RPG. I have a lot of experience playing D&D from H.S. and college days but haven't played much since then. I have also played some of the computer games with 3E rules and have picked up and started reading a 3.5 PHB.

I would like to play in a group that has a good mix of role-playing and combat/slugfests. I am an enthusiastic player but don't take the game too seriously.

If you know of any groups that are looking for a player like me, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

If you are willing to drive up to Antioch/Lindenhurst you would fit in great with my group.

I play in a game in Batavia every other Saturday. If you live close enough, we could use some new players.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently in Aurora, shortly to be in Bolingbrook. I play in multiple groups, many of which are splinter groups of the Outer Rim chapter (aurora based) of the Game Base 7 game club. Unfortunately, my current games are full. I am, however, looking to start an every-other Friday or Sunday group. Game and meeting place subject to group approval.

I have been playing for 19 years and GMing for 17 years. I am reasonable fluent in most of the major and minor game systems released in the last 20 years (i.e. I am a geek).

As I am running an event at the EN World Gameday, You can find me there.

Question and comments can be directed to reidzilla<AT>comcast.net.

Just a thought, if everyone could be more specific that "southwest suburbs" and such it might be helpful. I have lived in this general area most of my life and I still don't the official geographic designation for the Aurora/Naperville/Bolingbrook area.

Thanks!

I figured it was high time to update the thread I started.

I have not had much time to work on a new campaign in the last two months, because of work, school, and other responsibilities. So, I may have to fudge on a June start date. It may well be after the Chicago EN World Gameday I will likely try to develop a few of my ideas and discuss them in different threads. (Besides increasing my post count, it can maybe help some other people out.)

Thalmin, good idea in suggesting people check out the link to the EN World Gameday thread. Maybe we can make June 26th an EN World meetup day? There are certainly a lot of

Chicago is a weird little place eh? I know lots of people who play but due to the individualistic nature of the game (house rules, various campaign settings, etc...), don't play the same type of game.

I'm resuming my FR campaign for a little while until I move out to Mt. Prospect then I'll see whats going on out there while I see how I can get into the city to play.

I suspect that everyone plays a little differently. I tend to be fond of homebrews myself, and have a serious interest in history and historical cultures. Plus, with all the GREAT D20 and D&D products out these days, it is very tempting not to use a few modifications and additions. Good luck with the FR campaign.

I will try to write out some of my ideas for a campaign and discuss them with some of the people who have responded to me. I do have some more free time to flesh out some of my ideas.

LordVyreth and Vyvyan, thanks for the invitations, but your groups are probably too far for me. I am close to Oak Brook.

I'm in a few different groups right now. We mainly play at one friend's house who lives in Chicago but on Saturday's, at another who lives in Skokie. I live in Mt. Prospect now and haven't figured out if I want people at the new, smaller place.

On Saturday's we're playing SLA right now. It's a very fun futuristic game with lots of interesting things happening behind the spotlight. Every other Tuesday we play a Mutants & Masterminds game. I'm thinking of starting a Friday night game as I'm in the city anyway and my girlfriend works late.

We normally play D&D, usually in the Forgotten Realms, Kalamar or the Scarred Lands. Let me know if you're interested.
