[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 8266105, member: 467"] Based on some responses I regularly see, I am curious how big other folks gaming circles are. Not just how many other people do you play with regularly, but how tightly knit that circle is. For example, I have three regular (2 weekly, 1 biweekly) games at the moment. The first group is all local people that I have met through gaming clubs or stores that have become very close friends. My second group is close friends from farther afield (we were playing online before the pandemic because folks live in 5 states). The third (biweekly) group includes old high school friends and newer friends. There is no crossover between those groups, though some know each other and play in other games together. The total number of players among these 3 groups is 16 (myself included). In addition, I attend at least 2 regional cons every year and get to interact with a large number of fellow gamers, many of whom are part of a pro-GMing collective. Last year was a bust but this year should be back to awesome con gaming. There are at least 2 dozen folks among these people that I consider part of my gaming circle. Finally, among all those people and other folks who I do not actively game with for various reasons, I have a private facebook group of just under 100 members, all of whom I know personally and have gamed with at least once if not many times. This group allows them to interact with one another and I have seen gaming groups form out of that FB group. I really love having a large pool of folks to play with, talk about games with and generally interact in the hobby with. For a long time my gaming group was more typically insular and the fact that many folks around here indicate they have one gaming group they have played with for decades and that's it got me to thinking about this. I am really blessed to have so many gamers around. So, how big is your gaming circle. [/QUOTE]
