Hello and well met,
I having been playing homegrown D&D since shortly before the release of 2nd addition AD&D. I am trying to get started in the RPGA's Living Greyhawk Campaign, but I am having trouble finding a regular game.
I have found one sanctioned LG DM (I guess that's an accurate term) in my area who has 2 openings in his campaign, but he does not play as often as I would like (he DMs about once every other month).
I have tried posting my interest at the local gaming stores and I plan to attend the upcoming Winter War in Champaign, IL in early February 2007. Outside of that, I am at a loss on where to look for a game to join.
Any suggestions on how to find a game would be greatly appreciated.

First of all - welcome to Living Greyhawk! Here are a couple of options for you.

1) Join the Verbobonc Yahoo discussion group (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Verbobonc/). That list handles discussions for the Viscounty of Verbobonc, which coresponds to Illinois and Indiana. You can also find info on the Verbobonc website (http://verbobonc.net)

2) Join the CIRCA Yahoo discussion group (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/CIRCAGamers). CIRCA (Central Illinois Roleplaying Combatants Alliance) is a group of gamers that coordinate Living Greyhawk game days between Bloomington/Normal, Champaign/Urbana, and Springfield.

I happen to be on both lists (one, as Verbobonc Triad; the other as CIRCA Coordinator and Founder). Once you get signed up on those lists, we'll get you hooked up into some LG play.

The board must have done something funky with the links. Do a copy-and-paste into your browser and fiddle with them.
