[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5544001, member: 19675"] Re: finding a group I was an army brat, so I had to move every couple of years, so I have some insight on finding groups. I picked up D&D in 1977 in Aurora, CO...and a year later, I was in the tiny town of Manhattan, KS. I found a small group in my neighborhood, and one at school...which I helped merge. In 1982, I moved to Irving, TX (part of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex) and found another small group at school- a couple of whom I still game with- and started a gaming club at my private (Catholic) school. College was in San Antonio- a had to find a new group and did by asking my buddies. Law school in Austin had me checking with my local game stores for leads, and found one to which I belonged for 3 years. Returning to the Dallas area, my group was all away at various schools of their own, so I had to find yet another group. Yet again, I turned to my FLGS and found gamers in search of new players. I played in a few groups...and then my old buddies started trickling back to the Metroplex. They happened to have met some other gamers in the area- including a guy from my HS whom I didn't know was a gamer- and I joined that group. In most of those groups, I joined as a player, but eventually GMed [I]something[/I]. So, I have to say, having had to find new groups in several different cities, large and small: look harder. Especially ask at your FLGS. If there is no FLGS, hang out in the gaming section of a bookstore and ask another patron. Check out the local college campus. And yes, be willing to start a group and maybe even run a game. [/QUOTE]
