I am a writer and game designer,and Game Master with a local group of players. I've written and have been working on expansions for older games (Boot Hill, Gamma World and the like) and would like to find other game groups or individuals willing to try these games, or just wanting to share their gaming experience. We've discussed a (far)future possibility of opening a game room, eventually hosting a convention, but for now, we're just looking to stir up interest and connect with other groups.

For those who are unsure, the Old School role-playing games(rpgs) are the paper-pencil-dice games, where we get together periodically to play. I was 'called out of retirement' as a gamer to run some of these for some younger players who were bored with some of the lacks they found in computer versions of these games, and were curious about how 'we' played them in the past, old gamers, new gamers, and anyone curious enough to want to check it out, c'mon in!

"Got to love yourself I found"

You've got the absolute right of it, Ray! Honey based on money, in the long run, isn't worth a dime. Love yourself, and it shows, spreads,and attracts, like a bee to the flower.

homeless and seeking...

I've been there, I've seen those who were, all across the country. I reckon there's a lot riding on why someone is homeless in the first place. Myself, I was settling in to a new area, one where I found a job.It took a few paychecks to cover deposits, establish utilities, and so forth. Another case was a woman whose husband kicked her out, and I've seen a number of people in that situation. Of course, there are many others who drink, do drugs, or are unstable and unable to maintain their own home. Putting these last cases aside, I'm empathetic towards those suffering from severe cases of bad luck. We're still social creatures, despite our individual living conditions, and we have wants like evereyone else. It IS unusual for a homeless person to have Internet access and a cell phone, but public libraries have computers, and one can get free government cell phones, if they can figure out where to have them sent. So, it seems to boil down to the issues of trust and acceptance. If I were to start dating a homeless woman, more than likely, I'd bring her home and have her stay. One would ask, naturally, how it is I'd meet someone homeless and want to help and provide for them? With my past experience, helping someone can lead to a great, inner reward. It doesn't have to do with love or lust, but the feeling of satisfaction of being able to do something for somebody above and beyond the normal realm of interpersonal actions. It may not be a safe practice, and not for everyone, but there are times when extending such trust is rewarding.
