Message: <blockquote data-quote="ccs" data-source="post: 7827804" data-attributes="member: 6803664">I run a game at a local shop.Overall group composition ebbs & flows a bit, on about a yearly cycle, but there's 3 regulars who form the core.  And I intentionally use a lot of minis/terrain at the shop.  That's largely enough - people SEE the game running & that starts the process. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> There's two - three other groups running RPGs there as well.I also play miniatures games (WWII/40k/Sigmar/X-Wing) at the same shop.  So I'm always BSing with more/new gamers.  And there's always somebody coming in looking for a group.  So the shop owner points them to myself & the other groups.  Depending upon what they're looking to play & the days they can play, most find a game.  For the "Home" (PF) game it's a combo of:* letting people in an existing pool know.  Including inviting any interested friends, co-workers, SOs/family.These only need vetting by whoevers inviting them as considerable times already been spent with them.* sometimes inviting a new player from the shop.There's quite a few who're fine to play with at the shop but  will never  receive an invite to the Sunday game.But sometimes....So if I find someone at the shop that I think could fit, someone else from the group will drop in on the shop game for a few weeks for a 2nd opinion.  Likewise for recruiting from another shop where one of the players does a lot of his minis gaming.  I'm a miniature war-gamer, I can throw dice in almost any genre.  So he sets up some multi-player games with the potential & lets me know what case of minis to bring. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Afterall, we're only spending 3-4 hours with these people every week/every other week.</blockquote>
