[QUOTE="twjensen, post: 79048, member: 3124"] Assuming that you're in a city, there's probably a game store or comic book shop type outlet where you can meet new gamers. Assuming that you are writing from a small town or farm community where there isn't anyone around and certainly not enough people for a dedicated gaming store, I'd try being an evil DM. :D Seriously, consider allowing them to be evil, but then create a party of good NPCs who periodically try to hunt them down. Keep the NPCs at the same power level as the PCs, and do this every two-three levels. Make sure the NPCs power is innate, don't give them magic items for the PCs to take! If they aren't sick of being evil by level 10, start making the mix nasty. Pick NPC classes that specifically target the party's weaknesses. And remember, evil PCs have a reputation. No one will buy their extra magic stuff, people flee from villages DAYS in advance of their arrival, the party wizard has to make his own ink and parchament! Don't make that easy, the wizard has to take ranks in craft: ink and craft: parchament or he can't scribe any more spells. Just my two c.p. :D Good luck! :) [/QUOTE]
