[QUOTE="darjr, post: 5076020, member: 52905"] Actually, the first time you probably won't get anyone, or only a few, even if your town is burgeoning with players. Which leads to my first suggestion, keep it up. Keep showing up, keep posting and announcing that your doing it. I have found that sometimes it takes a long lead to get gamers to show up to a public event. Don't be unreasonable about it, however. I'd try to find another group as well, and if you have no one at first then just use the day as a rendezvous. Book a World Wide D&D game day. The one for PHB3 is soon, there will be two others soon as well. I think one for Darksun and one for Gamma World (could be mistaken, heard it on the podcast). Get your event on the Wizards event locater, also get your store there, unless it's 'Hall of Heroes', it's already there. It looks like there is a store and a PHB3 D&D game day up in Winfield Kansas. If your not going to get your store to run it's own, go there. They are also on nearbygamers.com and I'll bet other gamers will be there that are closer to you.
