[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1575764, member: 2205"] I'm in the same boat (although I turn 33 [i]next[/i] year, you old fart ... and I've got four kids. [img]http://jdyal.cheapwindows.us/smilies/bigblush.gif[/img]) My group right now consists of three other guys in their early to mid thirties, happily married, and with kids of roughly the same ages, give or take a few years. The one guy in my group, I stumbled on literally by accident -- my wife overheard some folks at church say the words "D&D" and popped over to say "hey, my husband plays that too" and the rest is history. [i]That[/i] core group, four entire couples gaming together, is now sadly reduced to just me and Troy. The other two guys I met here at ENWorld, actually. There's something to be said for putting your location in your profile. Then Troy and I organized the Detroit gameday, met a bunch of ENWorlders that are more or less local face to face, and these two stood out as folks that we'd like to play with. I invited about half a dozen folks that I already knew and had seen again at the gameday to a game I was starting and those three responded. It takes a little digging, but it's not impossible. I've actually had better luck than you with FLGS gaming boards, apparently, but my best "gamer finding story" is reserved for poking around the boards here, as it happens. [/QUOTE]
