Nearby Gamers

Last month I moved to a new job, in a new city, with a new place to live. This put my old gaming group 90 minutes drive away on the motorway (plus another 45 minutes to get out of the centre of London to my car).

Happily, I found myself in contact with a new group before Iā€™d so much as left that delightful place known as Swindon. This pleasant turn of events is due, in no small part, to Nearby Gamers which I heartily recommended before it ceased to exist.

Nearby Gamers is based around Google Maps and allowed you to indicate your general location on the map (anywhere in the world), and list games that you play. You could then use it to find other people who play those games near you.
