Obsidian Portal and Pen and Paper Games bot are international, though most of their members are U.S. The only way to change that is to add your name to the fray.
We lost two game stores last year. The one about a mile from my home and the other main one across town both closed. They were the two largest ones in the Denver metro area. There is one about 35 miles from here, but what a drive. Went up there a couple of months ago and took me almost an hour and a half to get there. Only took an hour to get home though.
At the last con I met the owners of a new store only about 10 miles away, but they are a small store, set in the basement of a larger store. Only have a single room and only one small table for gaming, mostly Magic I have heard.
One almost has to go online to buy stuff now, and be born with gaming friends, or inherit them. Finding gaming friends online is not as easy as it should be, neither is it easy to find them at cons.
