It's been a long time since I've had to recruit players, but slowly over the past 5-10 years, my gaming group has gone from a high of 12+ players to 2-3 reliable players.
I live in a community of around 100,000 people. The local gaming stores don't have much of an RPG presence, focusing on money makers like Magic or 40k. Posts in our area's tabletop social media groups go unnoticed. There is no organized play. The couple of coworkers who are interested in the hobby already have games they play.
Every time I've tried to play an online game, enough of the players (or GMs) are flaky and forget to show up - so we can't play.
We're at the height of popularity for the hobby, but I'm unable to find reliable players.
Do you have any recommendations?
