I think communities are built around organized play. The advantage of that is no person is critical (perhaps except for the organizer). Players can show up at their convenience. New players are always arriving, old ones sticking or leaving, etc.. It's from this experience I build that regular gaming group with cream of the crop Id call it. Folks whose personalities gel with my own. Their gaming interests align, and they are reliable to attend a regular session. In my experience, most FLGS are not only cool with organized play, but openly encourage it. So, finding a space isnt that difficult. (Though im in the twin cities and im finding out our FLGS per capita is off the charts.) Later on for my regular in person group, I usually resort to a residence for the privacy and convenience of hours. At this point, I should know folks well enough to trust and feel safe moving into this type of arrangement.</blockquote>
