[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2327163, member: 13966"] Perhaps you should try getting your group to try gaming with ya over OpenRPG, WebRPG, or a similar free program online? It can be useful for groups who don't live close to eachother, or for isolated folks like me who have a hard time finding other gamers nearby. It's easier to arrange time for games when ya don't have to commute or something, and you don't have to clear a table and such for it. Though it does limit the amount of props and such you can show the group, since it's online, but it's the way I've been gaming for the last 2-3 years, and it's still fun. You can also find other groups through these programs, by checking the game servers and asking around, particularly the public and dev servers. If you use another program like Roger Wilco alongside OpenRPG or WebRPG, you can even talk with your group as you play, rather than having to type everything out during play (though such speech programs do require you to have a computer microphone to use, of course). [URL=http://www.openrpg.com]http://www.openrpg.com[/URL] [URL=http://www.webrpg.com]http://www.webrpg.com[/URL] Alternatively, maybe you should try playing a different system, like D20 Modern, Dawning Star, Blue Rose, Castles & Crusades, Lejendary Adventures, Everquest D20, Shadowrun, Ars Magica, HARP, Star Wars D20, Traveler, GURPS, Transhuman Space, Blue Planet, Dragonstar, RIFTS, Robotech, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, or whatever. I've only tried a few systems myself, but there are plenty of options for folks who want a change of pace. Or perhaps try running a different-level campaign?
