[QUOTE="Stockdale, post: 1386264, member: 3367"] Merak, I think your rules area little - ahh - strict as written. From your brief write-up, the information conveyed to me was "we're prude, elitist role players looking for same. Commitment required." I certainly did not get the vibe that y'all were "laid back" and out for a good time. I'd go back for a second wack at writing the rules. As my first editor always said: "Now that you've said what you want. Say what you should." I think you'll get more bites if you simply tone down the language. This could be easily phrased as "serious gamers seeking new players. Must have own copy of 3.5 rules. We play at our house in Albuquerque. Our house is smoke and alcohol free. We have pets, including children." With the second to last sentence, I would be surprised if you got any responses from any drug users. I played in that group of strangers game cited by Josh earlier. It was my introduction to many of the players. If the rules you drafted had passed to me prior to last Saturday’s game, I would not have attended. It is difficult enough meeting new people. Moreso, if they expect you be Christ when you walk in the door. You just can't live up to that. Anyway - my two cents. [/QUOTE]
