In our Pathfinder games most of us use Herolab because after a certain point it's so much easier for the computer to handle to modifiers and complexities. I'm 50 now and compared to just 5 or 6 years ago, my attention span drops considerably and I'll find myself checking Facebook or here, when it's not my turn and we're not in a deep role play encounter. I can't help it.We played online during Covid, using Roll20, and it was my first attempt at 5th edition. I hated it and a big part of that was the interface. I'm an introvert but there is something about face to face gaming that is so much more appealing. You can read body language and bounce off one another so much easier. I couldn't do online play again. It's a social activity that I can actually enjoy with like-minded friends (Warhammer 40K is my only other outlet).I'm another DM who insists on commitment. I put a lot of time and effort into crafting a campaign and I expect my players to commit. Thankfully my friends rarely miss a game. We play every other Sunday evening 7-11 and baring the rare illness or medical/family emergency, everyone turns up and plays. I'll never understand how players who are enjoying playing cannot commit to a once a week or once a fortnight game on a set day/evening. If they want to play they will make the effort.As for the topic at hand... I don't know how you go about recruiting. The good old days of putting up flyers in shop windows or advertising in the local library I think have gone. Everything is online now unfortunately. That would be my guess now. Find your local town/city FB page and post there. My FLGS has a regular presence on our local page and they do great in drumming up interest for all manner of games.</blockquote>
