[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3907855, member: 54846"] My area is pretty scarce for gamers. So, I took the opportunity to look at Meetup.com. Meetup.com is a website that people of certain interests can come on, put their name down, and go to a monthly meeting area where folks are interested in that topic. 21 people have put their names down on the website, but no one has paid the money to organize the meetup, so there's no way for those 21 people to get in contact with one another. I was considering dropping down the cash to get everyone together for a meeting or two. Perhaps at a community center. Just "Hey everybody, we're all into D&D, we're all here. Let's mingle and talk and see if we can get some games together." But it occurs to me, aside from "What if it doesn't work at all?", how do I entertain and manage 10+ people? They all show up and we all stand around looking at eachother? An idea had occurred to me. I get everyone in the room and ask: Anyone who is interested or willing to DM, raise your hand. Then have those who raise their hands sit in front of the room, and just ask them questions about their DM preferences. "What settings do you like to run? What do you like to run (Dungeoncrawling, intrigue, exploration). Core only, or splat books?" Everyone else in the room can listen, and then at the end of the interview, just gravitate to the DM that suits them. Anyone got any experience with this? Any general suggestions? [/QUOTE]
