Since there's already been 1 split-off of the SO's and gaming thread, I figured I'd start another one pertaining to my personal situation.
I'm looking to move in with 2 friends, in a new state. Since it's already hard to get groups together when you know people, and finding people who game in an area without a gaming store is kind of difficult, I've been tempted to try and recruit my roommates, and possibly some of their friends (of course when the time comes).
They both play xbox like fiends, and 1 plays computer RPGs. I've kinda approached the computer gamer about it before, but thinks D&D is kinda silly (although I have no intention of running D&D). The other is a bit of a jock type and likely wouldn't be interested at all, but I have to have hope.
So tell me how you've approached non-gamers and gotten them to sit down and play a session or two and how it worked out.
