Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Lemon Merchant" data-source="post: 3678906" data-attributes="member: 2864">My first "true" group was in college, most of them I knew socially before starting to game, but a couple of them started as strangers and have since become very good friends (in fact one of them became my wife).When I moved across the state I had to start over, though a friend referred me to a group in the area.  They started out strangers and now I have to say I'm friends with all of them.Sadly things have once again changed and I'm starting a new group.  This time it's a mixture of friends and strangers.  One is a very good friend from college (no, the wife doesn't play anymore) who has since moved up here, one is a friend from my former local group and one is someone that responded to an online post (read: stranger).  BTW if you are in the Boise/Meridian Idaho area, I'm looking for players.I've had hit and miss success with adding strangers to a group or gaming w/ strangers.  Now I've taken to "interviewing" the unknowns before they actually get invited to the table.  I'd like to think I'm able to weed out the ones that don't fit my (or my table's) style.  Initially this was to maintain peace at my table, but now I've got a wife and 2 kids.  I want to make sure that I'm not inviting an obvious nutjob into my home, that way I only have to deal with the clever sociopaths.</blockquote>
