[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9406049, member: 4534"] Back before COVID, I tried getting some folks together for a Vampire 5th edition campaign. There were plenty of people who expressed interest, so I set a date to meet five players for a session zero. Three of them showed up. By the following week the campaign had disintegrated. Getting a new group of players together for a regular game day is tough. I used to think it was because gamers were flakey as a whole, and I still think that's partially true, but it's also because to regularly game with the same people you've got to like them, the games they play, and how they play those games. I've started running games at my FLGS when they have game day events. I don't typically run D&D, instead favoring games I don't have many opportunities to play with my regular group, but I've had a lot of luck meeting new people who I know are interested in gaming. If you have a local venue where you can run games, that might be a good place to meet new people. I should pay more attention, you brought up your local gaming store. [/QUOTE]
