[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 6027569, member: 10784"] well, with my old gaming group, I did the same thing (advertise on msg boards) to find local people and it worked out great. And, even on the first day when we gamed in Sept of 2007, one guy decided not to show at the last minute, but at least he had the courtesy to drop me an email (I still remember it, too, he got laid off from his job as an engineer & his wife was forcing him to deliver pizza on our gaming night to bring in money... maybe a BS excuse, but at least he let me know he wasn't coming) The only "drop out" from that group over 5 years was a guy whose now ex-wife sprung a surprise divorce on him. And, he later came back to be my "monster wrangler" for the campaign finale. And, I had a group of 8 players for a while there, including 2 women. (Heck, I ended up turning people away because even 8 was too much for me much of the time...) Maybe I just had great timing in 2007? Or, bad timing in 2012? It can't just be the economy, because it was already starting to get bad in 2007. [/QUOTE]
