[QUOTE="smathis, post: 4163692, member: 56465"] Sounds good. I may be able to get a group together in the not-so-distant future. Given my current rpg pals in the area, it might be a bit unorthodox though. Currently, most people I know are pretty big into the indie-rpg thing. A good group of guys. But typically reluctant to do any sort of campaign or D&D type of game. I could do an open post at DL. But previous experience with such things makes me shudder a little. I have no problem running a game if the Big Chair comes to me. But open calls can be very... um... interesting. I'll leave it at that. ;) If your group has a waiting list, why not have the waiting list people spin off a second group? Assuming that most of the people on the waiting list are pretty decent (being people your regular group might want to game with in the future) and have maybe 2-3 degrees of separation between them it might be as simple as a quick email to the interested parties. No reason the waiting list crowd can't have a little fun while they're, you know, waiting. :) And it gives the guys/gals in your current group a backup or additional group to pop into every now and then. Soon enough, it becomes 1 or 2 extra groups all intermingled with members moving back and forth based on who's running, what's being run and their individual schedules. Next thing you know we're having movie nights, potluck dinners and setting up Mouse-Con in NW Austin! :D [/QUOTE]
