Seeking gaming group

Are there any P&P RPG or board gaming groups looking for new blood? I am quite fond of both, and as Pandemonium Books seems a little slow at the moment I thought I'd start looking close to home. Anybody need a new player?

Pen & paper. These are the role playing games that you play using sheets to keep track of your character's status, their health, various points, or what have you. Compare to a game that has cards that you move around on the table to keep track of your status, or video games that keep track of things for you.

Imagine original Dungeons & Dragons.

Huh! Never heard that idiom before. I've always heard them called "tabletop" to differentiate them from "live action". Learn something new every day.
