Message: <blockquote data-quote="UniversalMonster" data-source="post: 247329" data-attributes="member: 1034">How I did it...My local Wizards of the Coast used to host Thursday night D&D open gaming. I had recently met 3 players online, but 2 suddenly washed out in January. The third player stuck with me. So I figured, what the heck- I'll go down to topen-gaming night and see whats up. Well, I go down there, and the only 2 games are closed. Also- they each have about 8 players. Yikes. I announced that I wouldn't mind running a game - and I got two players who had never played before and wanted to try it out. The 3rd player from my other group decided to just watch. That night, I actually launched my current campaign.. Afterwards, one of the new players said he had a friend who would like to play too. These two showed up along with my original player from earlier consistently every thursday  for a month.So I suggested we move the game to my house (we were still playing in the open gaming area) so we could use my miniatures and scenery. Slowly the game grew- after another month I met some other players in my local area. I had a problem player that I ended up kicking out, but I quickly replaced him.. things have gone really well!But basically I did it all online and doing the legwork of calling and inviting and tracking people down.  Thats the critical step. Advice to people wantting to form a group: use <a href="Http://Accessdenied.net" target="_blank">Http://Accessdenied.net</a> and the gamers seeking gamers forums (right here at Enworld) to find people and just do it!Also join any yahoo group that are local that have anything to do with rpgs. If such a group does not exist, form it.</blockquote>
