I'm based in South Dakota, ha ha. I usually just play with friends, and that's who I'm playing with this time ^_^ I'm... not really a fan of meeting new people, so I tend to stick to my tiny groups, ha ha. I hope we do have fun, one of our members has never played D&D and I'm hoping to break her in and make her a fan 
I know of several groups that get together for games in the Buffalo NY area and in the general Great Lakes area. Where are you based?
