[QUOTE="(Psi)SeveredHead, post: 6185727, member: 1165"] At one point my group had dwindled to only three reliably active players plus myself, and usually one couldn't even make it. We missed two or three sessions in a row because I could only get two players. This was after (over the years) making occasional requests for new players. (For instance, one reliable player had been running 4e over PbP. When that game ended, we recruited him. We now run at a newer player's house too.) I had joined another gaming group on Meetup so I could play and not just run 4e. But that group was dwindling too. I ended up trying to merge the two groups. It didn't quite work, but we now have two reliable players attending both groups. Then it became ridiculous as suddenly three players who hadn't showed up for months started showing up. For a while we had eight players a session. Now we usually have five players a session. (Some players only like some campaigns; if we had everyone show up for every session we'd have seven players plus a DM.) If you don't know non-busy people who aren't gaming, I can only suggest Meetup. And of course, putting up ads in a FLGS. There's a person who wants to do that at my FLGS, but my group is currently just a little too large to admit them. (Very bad timing.) [/QUOTE]
