    I'm somewhat limited in what I want to play. When I checked the Denver area for gamers with my interests, there aren't any. There are 8 or 10 folks now so it is increasing.

    Right now I'm using the Meetup site to manage get togethers. It's more oriented to gatherings with a calendar to schedule events. Having just a google map of local gamers doesn't really help I guess.

    How about something similar for NG? A calendar function where you can schedule your game oriented on region. Maybe even a "when I'm available" and "how far will I drive; weekday, weekend" sort of options for gamers.

    Hmmm, so when you schedule an event in the calendar for D&D 3.5 (for example), NG checks the range value and available value for all gamers in the area and automatically shoots a PM off to those folks.

    So CarlS:
    Games:
    Shadowrun, Paranoia, Call of Cthulhu
    Availability:
    Mon:18-22, Tue:18-22, Wed:18-22, Thu: Fri:18-22, Sat:10-22, Sun: 10-22
    Radius:
    Mon: 30, Tue: 30, Wed: 30, Thu: 0, Fri 60, Sat 60, Sun: 60
    E-mail when local event created (local defined as your time and radius): Yes

    Then when someone creates the Shadowrun calendar entry, for 7pm on Wednesday and it's 15 miles from my place, I'll automatically receive an e-mail notification. Perhaps even the event creator will be presented with a list of local available gamers so they know that on Thursday, only one person is available but on Friday, 6 people are available. This way they know the best time to schedule a game.

    Just some top-of-the-head thoughts. I didn't browse the discussions to see if it had already been brought up :)
