[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5442108, member: 18507"] Finding a face-to-face group is always fraught with perils. RPGs provide a bajillion experiences to a bajillion people and we all have varying expectations of what kind of game we should play and experience. Then you get people who have little social redeemable value and put on a face of normality but when you game with them, they are strange in the least and completely sociopathic in the extreme. We all have stories of when we had to deal with "that guy" or "cat-piss man". Luckily for me, I only had to deal with them at conventions. Unfortunately, there were a lot of them at conventions. After coupling all these factors, one could be at their wits end from trying to find a regular, normal, stable group. But we presevere anyways, because we want to enjoy the experience that rpgs bring. Piratecat brings up a good point in which I'm a big advocate of--if you're going to be serious about putting together a new group, then you got to go gamedays, cons, and other places in order to network. You need to build up a list of people who after a few sessions at a con or a gameday, hanging out and playing with them is cool. Now it's just a matter of making the arrangements of getting people together. [/QUOTE]
