[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6553453, member: 9789"] It's not just you. It's also not just D&D. Pretty much any hobby - or group of people - finds it hard to get together consistently, especially as they get older and acquire more responsibilities, unless something else is artificially bringing them together (like being at college, for example). There really isn't any secret, as others have alluded to: you just have to keep trying until you find enough people who have the time, energy, and financial stability to be able to dedicate a small portion of their week or month to a hobby in a consistent manner. It's literally the same as anything else, although some hobbies are more socially acceptable to do this with. The only trick, which some have hinted at, is the same thing as anything else where you are trying to get people together: continually try to meet new people until you can find a stable group. It's really, really hard - not just with D&D - and it takes a huge amount of time and energy, but that's it. Just keep meeting people until you find enough of them that you can put a group together. The internet can help a little, and not being a jerk helps: you'll notice these two rules apply to all other "get people together" activities (especially including dating!), because really, it's the same dynamic. You just have to keep trying. Sorry your luck is down right now, but it will turn around eventually so long as you keep at it. [/QUOTE]
