[QUOTE="lordabdul, post: 7827771, member: 6994956"] It's the height of the hobby, yes, but a lot of it ends up happening online, it seems (I'd be curious to know if anybody tried to estimate how much online vs offline games are played... it's probably tricky). Anyway, I think depending on your area there might be different media that gamers typically use to communicate. I know that around Vancouver here it's kind of a mess -- there used to be only a few places to check 10 years ago (or at least that was enough for me to setup a couple groups back then) but now it's all spread out from Meetups to Facebook groups to Reddit to Discord servers (all plural, yes)... so really, just search all those platforms with the name of your town. The sad thing, I find, is that more and more of those communities are specific to a game (generally "Vancouver D&D" or "Vancouver Pathfinder") and so there's less opportunities for people to try out other games than when all LFG messages were mixed together... oh well. A few other places that sometimes get me in contact with gamers, although it's very hit and miss: NearbyGamers, FindGamers.us, and RPGGeek. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
