I've had surprising success with recruiting players through my existing social and work networks. I got back into gaming just a few years ago after a ten year hiatus and a move to a new state. I thought I would have a hard time interesting anyone in a GURPS campaign, but a shocking number of my coworkers and friends (using the term broadly... I'm still relatively new here) were curious enough to give it a shot. Now we have multiple groups playing and a long list of people who are interested in joining—a bit of an embarrassment of riches.I very intentionally run games that are friendly to non-gamers. I'm happy to build characters with new players (or give them pregens) and I don't expect people to buy or even read the rules. All they need to do is show up and collaborate on an adventure with the rest of the group. I explain the rules as they are needed and people absorb the important ones pretty quickly.</blockquote>
