[QUOTE="pogre, post: 2413872, member: 6588"] Matt, After meeting you up at Games Day and having a chat, I feel like I can give you some advice from another guy in a college town. Get some townies in your game - drop the college kids. There are some awesome college players, but you know as I do they leave for Summer and always leave in a couple of years. Constant recruiting is no fun. There are lots of interesting people who are [i]living[/i] in DeKalb who are older adults who will make for a more rewarding game. Try converting some friends or look for a couple of professors. It will take time, but once you get a couple of players - they will have friends who want to play - who will have friends who want to play - and suddenly you are turning people away from the table. I played an entire Summer with three players only and it was not bad - we were just waiting for the right mix. Now, I am turning folks away on a regular basis. The game has been running continuously for a few years and it's pretty rewarding. Finally, since the game is off for a couple of months at least I do expect a certain blue dragon to get painted in the near future ;) If you are ever down by Champaign give me a heads up.
