[QUOTE="Bleys Icefalcon, post: 5529449, member: 6670542"] I feel your pain. I started playing Expert Rules Dungeons and Dragons and Gamma World at Bellevue Community College a loooooooooong time ago... soon afterwards, I joined the Navy, and for the next 23 years, I must have gamed with 200+ players. So many, as we would all end up transferring to different commands, different parts of the world. Only 1 player has managed to stay with me, and we were lucky in that his transfers and mine ended up being regionally close to one another - except for my 4 years in Japan. Now that I am retured from Active Duty, we decided to try and get another group together - and it was a pain, most of the established players were already in established groups. Quite a few of the people we lured it were the dregs - IE: those who'd been ushered oout of other groups. But we eventually got a nice core group. Then one of the guys who worked for the IRS got promoted and transferred across the country. Another graduated from college and got HIS job across the country. A third we had to run off for being too much of a trouble maker. A fourth was a Navy Officer, and his 2 years were up, bam, tranferred to Japan. And lastly the aforementioned son lost interest in gaming, and found interest in girls. Go figure. Anyway, two of the firends he introduced to our game are still in it - and they in turn have reccomended new players. Our group now consists of: Me (primary DM) - Gaming/DMing for about 30 years Alex - 8 years experience (2 in our group) Jared - 5 years experience (2 in our group) Darrell - 1 year experience - all in our group Christian - 1 year experience - all in our group Logan (the FNG) - about 2 months experience Of those players only Alex and Darrell can be counted on no matter what to be there every time. So we're always on the look-out for 1-2 dedicated, motivated and reliable players. [/QUOTE]
