Uncommon Preferences & Finding Your Group

[Wendell_Burke]

Having some trouble finding the right gaming group seems to be a common problem for many gamers, but I’ve heard many say that before long, they had found a good group for what they were looking for. I take this to be the norm, average, etc.

This isn’t what I’m asking about.

What I am interested in are those who tend to have (or feel they have) unusually uncommon tastes, preferences, boundaries, requirements, etc., to the extent that it has been exceedingly difficult for you to find other like-minded gamers to form groups with.

I would be very interested to hear your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, experiences, etc., regarding this.

My biggest problem is a group that all members can put up with each the other long term. Every time a group has imploded, it's been over someone acting out and pissing off the majority of the group. Sometimes the group survives without the problem. Sometimes they don't.

I'm part of a group of guys who get together for about two months out of the year for a short campaign (work schedules make meeting more often impossible), and we play all kinds of weird (non-mainstream) stuff. They even played Nazi-Killing Bear Simulator! But everybody else that I know? Yeah, they only want to play vanilla D&D 5e or, once a year or so, a World of Darkness game.
