How Close is D&D Encounters to you?

[Ktulu]

Less than 11 blocks from my home is my FLGS. We run two tables on Wednesday, with a possible 3rd one being opened up since more people have been joining.

I don't actually know; the nearest place would be about a half-hour away (23.2 miles, per Google). But I don't know if they're running Encounters; I'll have to ask next time I'm there.

11 miles - about 20 to 40 minutes & 20 miles - about 40 minutes.

My local gamestore is 3/4 of a mile away, but he doesn't run anything in his store.

Why do I have to live in the RP equivalent of blasted Athas?

If your FLGS doesn't have the program... help the store out and ask if you cna organize it yourself!

That's what I did, and we have a pretty good turn out.... and a great monthly meetup to boot!

Oh, and the store is about 10 mins from my house.

I have no idea if there is even a single location in Germany participating in 'D&D Encounters'. Considering the current state of affairs (i.e. no German publisher), I somehow doubt it.

The closest FLGS I know that actually sells D&D 4e _and_ would have sufficient space to host the event is about a one hour drive away.

On the event/store locator map on the WotC web site, there are twelve stores in Germany running D&D Encounters.

As for me, on the same map my nearest would be in Daventry, and they start an hour before I finish work that evening - my one late evening is Wednesday - so it's not likely I can attend very often.

Interesting. What did you do to get them to show up? When I try it (using this link), it doesn't show anything when I enter 'Germany' and select D&D

Yup that link does not work however if you start from here it does
And since they appear to be using the same search page I don't know why but it is more of the wierdness that the WoTC site.

The closest to me is about a 50-60 minute drive away.

The distances listed on my results seem to be straight line "as the crow flies" distances, rather than driving distances. Might not be a big difference for those in urban areas, but in rural areas where, "Ain't no roads go there," the mileage listed is less useful.
