Is there any way to sort the members by area so we can maybe get some groups together?

[Ariadne]

I fear, most are very spread...

I'm from Germany, Hessen/ North of Frankfurt... (See Location)

So I for example am very seperated...

In Australia that would make you near-neighbours.
I used to travel 2,180 km every week for our Thursday night games (1090+
each way) -- of course I had to leave work a little earlier those days.

Holy crap, that`s like 50 miles each way, that`s amazing!

:)

But seriously, that`s like 10, 12 hours driving each way. Holy crap.
Unless you weren`t driving, trains are faster I guess. And I felt bad
that I couldn`t find a group in columbus until recently.

That sounds like a Sydney - Melbourne run, Peter. You must be a dedicated
gamer, I was only doing that run once a year for the Rownay festival.

If no one else wants the task (and we can`t just get the details from the
list membership), I`ll compile a list of players and locations, just a
couple of questions first though - why is RPGA membership required? Is
there someone on a RPGA mailing list that could ask for an expression of
interest in a Living Birthright? and to whom do I send the compiled list to?

As to applying a Cerilian location that matches ones country of origin, I
still don`t know it`s that important and I defy anyone to find a match for
Australia.
Culture matches: none/ all - outside of the occupants that were here when
Cook arrived Australia has had less than 250 years develop anything of its
own, and has adopted multiple cultures from all over the planed, with an
English/ American mix being the most predominant.
Climate matches: none / several. South of home (Victoria) we have Tassie,
about 1/3 the size of England and about the climate range of the British
Isles (yes, it rain a lot there too ;-) - Perhaps Norther Anuire / Souther
Rjuric, North for about 1,000k`s, it becomes sub-tropical and is coastal all
the way - perhaps Brechtur. Further North it`s tropical - perhaps like the
area in southern Vos / far Eastern Khinasi. North West 1,000k+ arid to
desert - Mid Khinasi Region, West - Southern Khinasi. Victoria (home),
inland NSW and surrounds is closest to Anuire.

Doyle

Leave about 3:15 pm
Taxi to airport: 15 mins from work
flight time 1 hr 5 mins
bus to station: 10 to 15 mins
train to Chris`s place - 1 hr 55min
either picked up at station or quick cab 5 mins tops

7:30 - 8:00 start (meal waiting when I arrive)
game til around 1:30

I should point out that the DM himself had a 2 and a half
hour travel. Four of the seven regulars lived within an hour
by train or car. (It`s only 2 hours for me now too.)

You found a group in Columbus?

Oh, that's only about 2 to 3 car hours, not this far...
My complete location is Gießen, about 75 km [50 miles] north of Frankfurt (for someone, who might know it).

Wow, I thought, you travel by teleport... ;)
Fun to the side, isn't that expensive over the time?
