--- Quote from: Scrasamax on July 04, 2011, 07:35:50 AM ---Lived in Houston TX for about 5 years, the 4th largest city in the Us and the largest in Texas, 2.1 million people. There were a assortment of game stores, comic stores, used book stores, and there was no problem finding gamers anywhere, even stumbling across them at the local Barns and Noble. Now, Knoxville is the 3rd largest city in TN, with a staggering population of 183,000 give or take, and literacy and by extension, gaming take a back seat to other things, like hunting and running meth labs. God I miss Houston

Around here it's a competition between the meth labs and the large marijuana grow operations. It sucks living in such a beautiful area but being afraid to go hiking for fear of "disappearing."

Not so much afraid of disappearing, but the meth labs and pot farms sound pretty familiar.

MysticMoon:
For the past year or so I've been collecting a pretty random assortment of games. Amazon has an amazing selection of used games for reasonable prices. Some of those have been old books I remember from the early days but never owned myself (1st edition AD&D, Gamma World, Traveller, etc) and others have been more recent supplements from random systems (Pathfinder, D&D 4E, Savage Worlds, etc) that I plan to pillage for material.

If I ever find a decent way to read PDF's, I would be spending a lot more time on RPGNow/DriveThruRPG.

I also scored a set of 3rd edition Ars Magica books from the Bazaar at DunDraCon, along with a handful of other stuff.

I haven't been able to make much use of this stuff yet. The next several months look to be pretty busy at work (fingers crossed on getting a good replacement programmer by fall) but after that I fully intend to spend more time gaming and writing.

Among other things, my Ipad is really good for reading pdfs, etc.

I read 4 of the Game of Thrones novels on it without any eyestrain, etc.  I would have killed for my rulebooks on an ipad back when I actively gamed.

MysticMoon:
I love reading novels as ebooks and have been doing so since 2002 (started on Palms with 160x160 resolutions.) Game books are a totally different beast. Most of them are in a 2 column format that makes me spend too much time scrolling up, down, and sideways on anything smaller than a full desktop display. I haven't tried on a 10" tablet, though. Have you (or anyone) read 2 column PDFs on one? If so, how is the experience?

valadaar:
When used in landscape mode, two pages were displayed side by side as if looking in an actual paperback.

Thats how i read the series.
