[QUOTE="takasi, post: 2868639, member: 20194"] This is one of the main reasons to support your FLGS. It's the best place to host a gameday or meetup. Always start with one shots at first to get an idea of long term campaign compatibility. The more "open minded" and flexible you are the easier it is to get a group together. I suggest picking one night during the week that everyone else is willing to sacrifice every week (or every other week) for a game night. Even if you're in your late 20s, 30s or 40s and have a family and a full time job you should ALWAYS have room for a poker night at least twice a month. I game on Wednesday nights, despite the fact that my kids are into sports, scouts and other after school stuff. My wife understands that I need at least one night a week for myself. Most people work during the day, although already I've lost three players in the last year due to shift changes. It helps if you can find players with stable jobs and a weekly routine. Don't give up. Pretty much no matter where you live there will be at least three or four people who are in almost the exact situation you are in within a half hour of driving. Find your nearest FLGS, run gamedays, post on boards (online and off), use meetup, heck even use your newspaper if you have to. You will find a table as long as you don't give up. [/QUOTE]
