Gaming groups - in and around Philadelphia, Trenton, Harrisburg, and
points inbetween
Salutations, gentlefolk,
Last year I put this draft list together, intending to print up a
corrected version for wide distribution. Unfortunately, the death of
my parents delayed these plans.
I'm going to print out some copies of this list to distribute at
Historicon and the World Boardgames Championship So I'm requesting
you, please, to send additions and corrections to
john.a.desmond.cgs80@...
Thanks, very much, John Desmond
