[QUOTE="PJ-Mason, post: 2481093, member: 12285"] My saturday night group formation is no epic tale. I went to a local gamer's hangout and met a guy who invited me to his group's saturday night game. I said yes and the rest is history. Since then i have taken up the GM duties for the group, but a couple of them are showing signs of Gming intentions, which is great. I think if you have a group of player/gms, it can realy help the player/gm relationship. My soon to be Friday night group is definitely a story of fate. It might go a little long, so bear with me. A ways back i was cruising the M&M boards and out of boredom i clicked on a thread i probably never would have. Someone had performed a little thread necromancy and asked a guy (philip) about a project that he was working on that had disappeared. Philip answered that real life had gotten a hold of him and shook things up for him, including a move upstate. I saw that where he was moving was close to me. So i offered to show him the local game life and hook him up with whatever games he was looking for. As it turns out, we pretty much agree on everything and decided to put a group together. The 3rd member of the group was easy, i asked one of gmer buds if he was interested and he was. The fourth member posted a message on a mailing list that i was a member of, just as i was about to dissconnect my membership. I saw his message and decided to read one last message. He was looking for a group in the new area he had just moved to (you guessed it). Inside a couple hours of IM we planned a meet and got a new member a couple days later. The fifth member that may soon join us, Philip meet while taking his daughter to the playground. One of the other parents there watching his child play and Philip got to talking and it turns out that this professor was also a gamer. So the page turns. I don't think i have ever been as excited or more stoked about a impending game night and group as i am with this one. We seem to be on the exact same page on how we like to play and what we expect from each other...and it never would've have happened if i hadn't had clicked on a thread i normally wouldn't have, or hit that Leave Group button a minute earlier than i did. :) [/QUOTE]
