Doesn't matter if it's D&D, Ysgarth, Paranoia, Nephilim, Eclipse Phase, or some game your friend made from whole cloth. Get together, have an experience steeped in whatever genre the game has to offer, and enjoy each others' company.I'm trying to do my part by creating a large OSE campaign in Austin. A 2nd DM has volunteered to join the fun and we hope to double the player base within a year. Where this will go...I have no idea. But our goal is to bring in new players and show them a good time. So far we've been doing pretty well with it. Fully half of the players are new and most have enjoyed it enough to go buy the rulebooks and come back for more sessions.You prefer 5e as a game? Great. Go out there and get more gamers into the hobby. You like OSR? Cool! Invite your friends, put notices up on the wall of your FLGS, and get people into the game. EVERY stripe of RPG is better when more people are playing ANY stripe of RPG. A larger game community means more new ideas, more fresh takes on how to play, and a stronger community.</blockquote>
