Pen-and-paper RPG in the Pittsburgh area?

So I haven't posted here in forever, but I assume this is still the same community of creative and inspiring gamers I used to know. It's good to see things are still going strong around here!

I'm thinking about getting back into RPGs. In particular, I would like to know if there are any pen-and-paper groups in my vicinity that I might join (I live in Pittsburgh, PA). I realize that there are methods of finding such groups that are more likely to be successful than posting about it here, but if I could find a group that is recommended by (or, better yet, run by) one of the fine individuals in this community I would much prefer that over trying one at random. Any thoughts?

Much appreciated!

In that day Tulkas shall strive with Melko, and on his right shall stand Fionwe and on his left Turin Turambar, son of Hurin, Conqueror of Fate; and it shall be the black sword of Turin that deals unto Melko his death and final end; and so shall the Children of Hurin and all men be avenged." - J.R.R.

Old, evil, twisted, damaged, and afflicted.  Orbis non sufficit.Thread Murderer Extraordinaire, and supposedly pragmatic...\"That is my interpretation. That the same rules designed to reduce the role of the GM and to empower the player also destroyed the autonomy to create a consistent setting. And more importantly, these rules reduce the Roleplaying component of what is supposed to be a \'Fantasy Roleplaying game\' to something else\"-Vreeg

Hey Turin!

Don't have any information on your question, but it's good to see you around again. How's things going?

I know some people in Pittsburgh who do 3.5 D&D.  Not as conceptual as a lot of what we do here, and I don't know what they're doing currently, but I could ask.

Numinous: Please do. Thanks!

Vreeg and LC: Thanks guys! I'm doing well. Grad school here in Pittsburgh is keeping me busy. I doubt I'll be coming back to world-building anytime soon, but I figured I might just have enough free time to fit in a pen-and-paper game. It's good to see this place is still doing well. How are you guys?

Similar situation, actually. Haven't got a lot of world-building irons in the fire currently, but can't keep myself away from this community nevertheless.
