[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 5725358, member: 2205"] Dude; it's just an analogy. Although to be fair, sometimes it is. When you sign up for a con or gameday game, or when you're advertising on a store, meetup or gamers seeking gamers type venue, or otherwise playing with people you don't know, then it [I]does[/I] start to resemble more a business transaction. You have certain demands for your game, and you try to match those demands up with a supplier (GM) who most closely matches your demands and is available. Granted, I rarely find that kind of game as satisfying as playing with friends, but it's also not unheard of, and I've had a good time in the past hooking up with groups who were a little light on players and needed to find another, or at cons or gamedays, or online. Heck, sometimes those people even [I]develop[/I] into friends that I really enjoy gaming with longterm. In fact, I find that the odds of this happening [I]increase[/I] if you approach the initial meet n greet a bit more like a consumer and try to find folks who are likely to want to game with the same taste and preference pallette, more or less, as you.
