[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 9282367, member: 6796661"] My vetting process... For most of decade I've been running games since getting back into the TTRPG hobby, I've had a stable group. Any new or guest players are simply friends of current players and I don't do any vetting beyond an existing player recommending them. For my first campaign, after the 2014 rules were published, I started with two old high school friends and then posted to Meetup.com. I gave a detailed write up on the theme and setting, character limitations, and the system (including which optional/variant and homebrew rules would be used). That was followed by a back and forth over e-mail with a number of interested people until I had another three players who were interested. As a player, I generally only do free or paid one-shots via VTT using find-a-game platforms (e.g. Roll20s Find a Game page or Start Playing). Usually, the only vetting is agreeing to the terms of the site and the GMs rules/terms when registering for a session. I've only been vetted for two campaigns through find-a-game services. For one, I started with a one shot and agreed to join a campaign with the DM and other players on that one shot.
