Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bayushi_seikuro" data-source="post: 9405915" data-attributes="member: 7024851">As was said earlier, a lot has changed over the years.It used to be easier to get games going through a gaming store - but that assumed the gaming store had any interest in having gaming on premises.  Anecdotally, I've seen more than a few game stores that were pretty unwelcoming to new people, or to having games, or having games that involved more than the regulars.My local library offers gaming, mostly teen-oriented, which also means they have a lot more stricture on who's allowed into the club, and what types of stories can be told.  It has a waitlist, which is a shame because my oldest boy has decided randomly he wants to try D&D.I think a lot of the issue, as was also said, is time.  Decades ago for a lot of us, it used to be nothing to regularly have an eight-hour session on a Saturday, even into our twenties.  Now, pushing fifty, I find it had for my friends to commit to that - either because they're out of gaming, have other things to do, or 8 hours is a long ask when they could be Adulting.  Even if we had shorter sessions, time is a factor - it's not worth a player driving a half hour each way for a session if the session is shorter than X hours.Keep doing what you're doing.  If the gaming store has no interest in supporting you - and it sounds like they don't and you're doing all the heavy lifting - I hope you can find another venue.  Run demos.  Maybe even just run short campaigns where people can drop in and out and it doesn't matter?</blockquote>
