. . . of roleplaying. I literally CANNOT find any groups, books, ANYTHING where I’m living. In desperation I’m looking for good online groups, but I don’t know where to start. Bear in mind that I have almost none of the rulebooks, etc. Where do you play? Where should I go? – Sylence ---

This is more of a MPSIMS, But: is there a gaming store near where you live? Post a notice there. Where DO you live, anyway? How about the local SCA group, about 50% are roleplayers. And I know how you feel. ---

Nope, no gaming store. Even the MODEL stores only carry a few old wonky books at any time. I live in extreme southwestern Colorado, about six miles from the New Mexico border. – Sylence ---

Sylence: [http://roleplaygames.about.com/msub58.htm](http://roleplaygames.about.com/msub58.htm) has many good links. Or try the Gamer’s Directory on the same site - you may find a local group after all. [small]yes, it’s a roleplaying thread, and there’s dogsbody, hanging around…sigh. I do have other interests. Really.[/small] ---

what? no local high school with supply of AD&D geeks? what kind of world are you living in? AD&D is perfect out in places like that, or Traveler, or any other RPG. :::sigh::: ---

Hey Sylence! Um yah I usually RP in ATT _winces_ Its not all that good though but heres the link anyway [ATT](http://community.att.net) and its a mesh of a couple of groups that were in Old Lycos which is now defunct. One group has its own ways (Romancers) The other has its ways (Randomers… the group I’m in) I don’t remember their link but ours (the old one) is [Role Playing](http://start.at/lycosrp) umm right now a group of us is working on another RP but the chat we chose (and were working with to start up) is closing in 3 months due to hackers _sighs_ We’re looking for another chat though completing the move. I don’t think we’re ready to hand out the links and stuff yet. Still setting up and there isn’t people in there very often yet. Hope this helps! ---
