[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 7280287, member: 6776887"] Ooh, boy. Your rant may not have been the best way to get advice on 5th edition. Looking back through your posts, it seems like you are looking for a regular group, are possibly new to the Bryan / College Station area, and are frustrated with not being able to find a new group. A cursory search of the area shows it to be very light on game stores in a university town. If you are attending Texas A&M, there may be some groups or meetups on site or nearby. Other than that, have you taken a look at Clockwork Games? [url]http://www.clockworkgaming.com/events.php[/url] They are in College station northeast of Texas A&M. They have Adventurer's League on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. This is a public play format that allows players to show up when they can. The story line can be a little jumbled from people showing up irregularly, and it has a standardized set of which options are used, but it would provide you a low key forum to try 5e without expectations. Just do not show up and complain about 5e. Focus on playing. Aside from that, the staff at the game store may know of Pathfinder groups. Another option to look at would be the looking for group sections of Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds. [url]https://app.roll20.net/forum/category/22[/url] I started with Roll20 as it did not have software to install (it runs in the browser). You lose some of the face to face [I]je ne sais quoi[/I] from everyone looking at each other through video cameras, but your ability to find people to play with goes up immensely. Good luck, and if you pull back on the trashing of 5e in the 5e forum, you will probably get a better reception. This is a good group of people, even if we are somewhat opinionated at times (otherwise we would not be talking about games on an internet forum). [/QUOTE]
