Finished residency in '91; I suppose I _could_ check out the local scene as you did (hurrah for initiative!), but there's definitely a 'sour grapiness' to my attitude that says "It'll never be as wonderful as back then." I just need to accept that it won't be the same. (For someone who spent 10 years traveling around the country and constantly having to adjust to new places/colleagues/procedures/formulary lists/etc. etc., that sounds like an old stick-in-the-mud, doesn't it?! ;P )
Still, I might go hunt a game up this summer - even horses can't supply that thrill of foiling the D'Master's evil plan of annihilation! ;)
Absolutely and whole-heartedly recommend you go find one. I dropped out of gaming during college and the Military, but my senior year I started getting back into it and found a good group and have been playing since (prob going on 5 years by now). No it wasn't like it was when I was a gamer previously in Middle to H.S.--its a lot more mature, the adventures are more intricate, with depth, and more satisfying. I'll never re-capture the feeling when I felled the mighty Greek Gods out of the 1e AD&D Deities and Demigods book with my uber-powerful Githyanki Fighter-Mage (I broke nearly every rule with that character...) but the games are SOOO much better. And wonderful for different reasons.
