Austin TX. I'm only running games online right now. Friday and Saturday nights via Roll20. Very sad my favorite referee, Jimm Johnson, moved out of state. He formed the core of old school D&D community here. By the time things get back to normal I'll have a baby and not nearly enough time for gaming, although I'll probably try to keep the roll20 game going in some form. Busy trying to train up new referees and spread the LBB gospel. As always, my game is open to anyone interested in playing: app.roll20.net/join/6051595/kKHqdA |

Benbrook, Texas. About a mile south of the Fort Worth city limits.
Hey, Otto Harkaman, I saw your post about being from Lexington, Kentucky. I made a number of business trips to Lexington back in the 1995-2005 timeframe, and in my spare time, I would check out the local book and game stores. I remember the Rusty Scabbard! Is the big JoBeth bookstore still there?

Is the big JoBeth bookstore still there? Yes it seems to still be there, I used to go all the time. The traffic has gotten so bad in Lexington, especially over that way, I rarely venture far from home.  Having accepted digital books, I hardly ever buy regular books anymore. If I do they are something I can only find by ordering online anyway. www.josephbeth.com/ |

Wow, that's just what I remember. Seems like when I first started traveling to Lexington, the JoBeth store was in another location, and was just a single story structure. Then they moved out south of the loop and went to two stories. Very cool place--though like you, I do most of my book buying on line these days. I can still find good books on history, literature, and (sometimes) philosophy in brick-and-mortar stores, but if I want books on the Shaver Mystery, or collections of Lovecraft letters, or pulp reprints, then that's definitely going to take me to an on-line vendor.
(And there used to be a pretty good music store just down the line from JoBeth--I remember buying, quite appropriately I thought, Blue Kentucky Girl from Emmy Lou Harris there.)

I think it was in the same building but then they redid the atrium with the escalators and turned that into the bookstore, that was a long long time ago. |

I don't remember if I ever responded to this thread, maybe long ago. I live in Lexington Kentucky, home of the famous "Rusty Scabbard" a gaming store which has been around a long time. Need to get over there sometime in the future for board game night. I spent most of the 90s living in Lexington and have been to Rusty Scabbard many times. I love that city and really miss it sometimes. |

That store was my absolute favorite place to spend the little bit of money I could earn as a 12 year old. Heh. I wish I could go back in time and get a boxful of games and mini’s. |

Do you gents remember any of the other Lexington gaming stores? There was Shahrazad (awesome selection of old used games), Paper Heroes, Red Rock. I spent I don’t know how many hours at those stores in the 90’s, they’re all gone now though sadly. |

It had been pretty large and carried a lot of stuff. I can't think of the name and that whole block has been plowed under and rebuilt. |

The RS on Maxwell was the only place I remember. I recall some college age guys that would hang out there. Mainly joking around, reading comics and running the cash register. They were great. I could easily spend an hour there looking at the books. I remember the judges guild products in shrink wrap. They were fascinating to a kid who couldn’t afford them all. And believe me, I wanted them all! |

There's a Dana factory there, huh? The one I work at gets supplied by the one in your hometown. |

Hmm, did I not ever post here?
When I joined these boards I lived next to Runnymede, in Surrey (the British one). Eventually, visa-sponsoring jobs in my industry failed to stay alive, and for the past 3 or so years I've been back in my ancestral Shire, north Orange County, California.
Not that I have any time for it these days, but if anyone within psychic earshot of Disneyland wants a session, roleplayed or wargamed or toasted and drank, hit me up!
