[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 3154941, member: 13703"] I think that I did for the first time. A few weeks ago I was surfing the internet and somehow ended up at a D&D Meetup site. I checked out players for my area and happened to notice that the most recent one was from someone looking for a game north of the city (I live north of the city). Given how small the roleplaying community seems to be in my city, that was an event in itself. It got better though. He said he was currently playing in a group in the city on weekends but preferred a weeknight game closer to home and gave the suburb where he lived. It turned out to be my exact suburb! Add in the fact that I am also running a weeknight game and I felt like there was some sort of conspiracy going on here. I had a full table at the time so I just took his e-mail address for future reference. Then last Wednesday, one of my players said that he had to drop out of the game due to work. I went to work on Thursday and was going to send the person an e-mail. However when I checked my Hotmail In-box I saw that there was a message there from him already. He had seen a notice that I had put up in my FLGS about 6 months ago! I haven't met him yet to check that he's not insane or psychotic but the way things are going it looking like the group and him should be a good match. It would definitely be the easiest time I've had replacing a player. So what about you? Ever lucked out, D&D related or otherwise? Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
