I did try Meetup. Even had a group of 24 members. Of course, only 1 other person actually showed up... Everyone else, when I asked, just wanted to use Discord, and didn't realize what "In Person Gaming Group" meant. Oh, and can they game starting at 10 on weeknights instead of noonish on...

It used to be so easy: check the local colleges or community colleges, or the library, or the gaming store, and there was something or someone looking to recruit or start a game. Now... None of the old ways seem to be working. People don't seem to want to leave the safety of their homes, and...

Thanks. Will give it a shot. Last 2 years have really sucked. Be nice to find a gaming group that meets more than once a month, and doesn't insist on just using Discord.

Which is how I got a whole bunch of my WEG D6 StarWars books. I also picked up a bunch of PH1s and a second set of most of the character-creator books last year when I tried to start a new local gaming group. (25 people signed up to play, 1 actually showed up) For a starter adventure, how about...

Glad to see that 4E is still getting attention. It's like the game was finally discovered about 5 years ago, after all the nay-sayers and net trolls gave up bad-mouthing it and WotC announce 5th (which again, drew all the nay-sayers and trolls).

Is that the same Saul Zaentz who squats on trademarks and TMs other people's work by filing claims before they do? I seem to recall a number of musicians who got completely screwed over by someone with that name. Just looked into the current history of who even makes a SW rpg. First...

My big problem with taking down Trove was all of the out-of-print books which are highly unlikely to ever be available as a new printing or as a .pdf that can be purchased, including most of West End Games Star Wars books. Some of those suckers go for $300+ for a used book (if you can even find...

Haven't done much gaming in the last 10 years, and during my soap-opera marriage... Yeah, that nightmare that never seems to end. It's been 24 years. I had the 4th book for generating dungeons, but only used it once. As with all things, your mileage may vary. Found a second copy of "Central...

Heck, I just found my "Central Casting" books by Paul Jaques from the early 90s. There were three (fantasy, SciFi, Present) books where you could random roll events in your character history if you needed ideas. I also used them for villains. The bindings have fallen to pieces, but I got some...

"Will I actually use this? Does it have adventure ideas? Does it queue up adventure ideas in my imagination? Does it at least have cool artwork?" I'm keeping my 2 copies of the original Secret of Saltmarsh, because I may use them again, even though I have the 5e conversion, just because the...

I also look kickstarter for ideas and adventures. Plangea not only put together an excellent campaign setting, but also a great soundtrack for back-ground mood music.

I'm 30 miles north of San Francisco, so I figured there had to be something... Preferably something that didn't meet in a church (it's a problem for me, don't ask)

If I'm running, I run D&D 4th edition or D6 Star wars. If I'm playing, I'll play absolutely whatever game. Just looking for a gaming group that meets on a near weekly or better basis.

Stone Age: Plangea was a great kickstarter setting for this.

Find a new gaming group that is local and meets regularly

That's what I get for being an old, out of touch, stick in the mud who doesn't want to change or get with the times or whatever.:mad: I think we've derailed the thread enough. Maybe future suggestions should go through PM? :geek:

I tried meetup. 25 people joined. 1 showed up. After a year of running a game for 1 person, he moved out of town. I consider Meetup to be a failed system. The only replies I got from the other 24 people when I asked was "Why isn't this on Discord," "I want to game during the week from 8pm to...

I hate online games. I want to be sitting around the same table as the other players. Online games depress me more than they entertain me.

Mostly I end up with a bunch of books and games I never get a chance to play at all. That includes some like Alien, Indiana Jones, and Lamentations of the Flame Princess, but all so a bunch of kickstarter games like Mothership, Werewolves of London, and the like. It would be nice to be able to...

Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. I've run that so many times and did my own conversions to other editions long before WotC created the 5th edition version (which, ironically, I use for all the other adventures, after converting back to 4th). I have a short run that I use to introduce players for...
