Solvable problem all the way, though the solving process might be a little bumpy. First off, run games only for people you already know...

I'll go a step further: The players you have XX months/years later aren't the same players you have at session 0. Because people...

It’s mostly luck. Session 0s help a bit, but they’re not the cure all many seem to think. Just look at discussions on here. People...

I'm not sure that is true. We have people currently (I'm not part of it, but I know of them and they are not a small group) betting on...
