[QUOTE="TarionzCousin, post: 3189853, member: 31304"] [b]Portland Further Info[/b] I live in Portland. I've lived in and around Oregon all of my life except for college and two years in Manhattan, New York. It's a great place to live. So far, I think I agree with everyone. :p 1. It rains a little every single day from October through May. It's also overcast most of the time. We don't get as much precipitation as Chicago or Seattle, but we get more rainy days than anyone. 2. Portland is a very liberal town. Many protests, huge Democratic population. Strong support for gay and lesbian folks too. 3. Top five city for bookstores per capita. Not just Powells, although that's the biggest by far. 4. Eugene is a much smaller town. It is a somewhat liberal enclave in the middle of the Southern Willamette Valley. There is a strong pro-hemp culture down there. But I also know several gamers who live in that area. And I think they still have their own game store. If not, it's a two-hour drive to Portland. 5. Several game stores in and around Portland. The biggest and best, IMHO, is Rainy Day Games, located in the far western suburb of Hillsboro. Spacious, well-stocked, and run by easy-going people. [url]http://www.rainy-day-games.com/store.html[/url] Bridgetown Hobbies is the centrally-located store. [url]www.bthobbies.com[/url]. Good selection of RPG books, many boardgames, lots of modelling supplies and models--planes, tanks, cars, etc. 6. For those of you who care about beer, read this: [url]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15642039/page/2/[/url] 7. Any questions? No, I don't know Sepulchrave, although most of my current D&D group are regular posters here. [/QUOTE]
