Thanks for the welcome. It's too bad that we won't get a chance to play any time in the near future, but maybe we can meet up at GenCon or some similar gathering of nerds.
Yeah, you've hit the crux of the problem, haven't you? Those of us north of Baltimore really don't want to head south and those south really don't want to head north. Not that I blame them, I'm not a huge fan of heading through the tunnels myself if I don't want to. As for GnS, yeah, I can do that every now and then, but only on weekends, so that might limit my play time down there, but I'm sure I can work something out.
What I'd really love is a strong community up here Harford County, but that seems to be hard to come by.
