Looking for group in Virginia Beach/Norfolk area

Hey all,

I'll be moving to the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area at the end of the week (provided we don't have more snowpocalypse-level storms). I'll be looking for a new group out thataway...

I've been playing RPGs since 1981, when I started with Moldvay/Cook. I've been the GM 19 out of 20 games since then.

I'm an old-school kind of guy, and though I can play and have played just about ANY game, I prefer to play the following games:

Castles & Crusades
Amazing Adventures
Labyrinth Lord
DCC RPG
B/X D&D
BECMI/Cyclopedia D&D
1E AD&D
Gamma World 4th Edition (i.e., the one like 2E AD&D, not the 4E D&D version which is actually 7th Edition)
Mutant Future
Mutants & Mazes (LL/MF mash-up)
Basic Roleplaying (Chaosium stuff)
Encounter Critical
Palladium Megaverse
Cortex System (Margaret Weis games)

For my Fantasy RPG campaigns, I prefer to run in the following settings:

Olden Lands
Wilderlands
Greyhawk
Blackmoor
Mystara

We should arrive sometime this weekend, weather permitting. My first order of business once we are settled in is to find a job, but I definitely need to get some gaming in, too... so e-mail me if you are in the area and have room at your table!

Yup, sadly, no GaryCon again this year... sigh.

I hope to find a group fast enough to be able to run a game that weekend, though, so I can be there in spirit...

I am running a Labyrinth Lord game currently in Norfolk. We have been playing on Wed evenings but are switching to Sunday afternoons. My Space 1889 campaign ended and I decided to run Keep on the Borderlands, so that is what we are playing currently.

Oh, due to work and other commitments, we usually miss a week here and there.

Thoth -- contact me via e-mail about when and where your next game is!

We are finally in Virginia Beach and getting settled in. Looks like Wisconsin weather followed us... sorry Eastern Seaboard!

A few folks have contacted me via e-mail. I'll be contacting them in the next few days... anyone else looking to throw some dice?

A guy named Ken has a game in his home on Saturdays. He also lives in Norfolk. I don't think he frequents the Goblinoid Games site but he is on Dragonsfoot with the handle of J_Elric_Smith. They have a couple games going usually, depending on who is the GM. I will ask him what they are playing at the present time.
