Huh. I'm in Greenwood, SC. It's north of I-20, but south of I-85. Old highway 378 goes through town. It's a lot harder to find a solid Gaming community in the south, and my experience (so far) has been that the gaming communities here are full of real weirdos and creeps (current company excepted, obviously).
Good luck finding someone in your area. You might have better luck with a Facebook group or something.
