[QUOTE="darjr, post: 7077555, member: 52905"] Reward attendance and DMing. Don't plan on playing, at all, until you find DM's willing to significantly DM, preferably with enough so DM's can take breaks. It'll be hard, I know, It's what I do. Keep showing up. At first you may get minimal turn out. Lot's of reasons for this, some folks won't attend until they know it's a regular thing. Some will take a long time to hear about it. Use facebook. It sucks, I don't like it, but setting an event does work, make a group to talk about the game and as a common place folks can post if they are going to make it or not. Occasionally post about the game, in other local groups is good. Take photos and post em. In fact I'd award players posting photo's on their own, inspiration maybe? Better have the library set up a facebook event on their page or website. Share this to local D&D or rpg groups. Try flyers at game stores. Even though it isn't in their store they will appreciate signs that games are being played, it encourages customers that they are not wasting their money. Look for other gatherings and go to them. Assist them if you can. Run some games for them. Occasionally run some games for them even after your group is going well. Invite some from your group to go to their things as well. Occasionally run cool uncommon things. Could be anything. Something like an epic that involves multiple tables is always cool. (See DDAL 5-16 for this. It's a kind of mini-Epic. Vault of the Draco Lich is a cool one from the days of early 5e D&D) [/QUOTE]
