[QUOTE="DarkCrisis, post: 9405640, member: 1788"] In a physical game at a game shop. I have no desire to play online. I've been trying to get 2 more players for a while. A lot of bites but I bring next to nothing to shore. I've tried friends and family. Had one cousin express interest but never show. Friends, same thing. "Sounds cool" but don't show. Even when they lament about not having anything to do that day. Online boards in my metro area. Made a post about what I'm DMing and wanting players. I've had 3 people say they wished to join. None of them actually show. People at the store approach and ask if they can play next week. Sure! Don't show. Closest I had was a co worker and his 2 friends. All 3 showed. Next week the co-worker was sent to another state for surprise job training and his 2 friends were MIA. I asked my local store to put up a notice board so I can put a posting, can't be bothered. Why is this so hard? I thought this was the RPG golden age? I had a much easier time getting players to a table for 3rd and 4th ed. This is like pulling teeth. If my current group ever decided to break up, I don't know what I'd do. Edit: Some seem to miss that this is less about "no potential players" and more "just don't show up after expressing interest".
