[QUOTE="T. Foster, post: 3296744, member: 16574"] I've played D&D in parks and on college quads. It wasn't too great -- wind blew papers around, there weren't any large flat surfaces to roll dice, and it was hard to hear everybody over the birds, traffic, kids, etc. The game club I was a member of back in the 80s (Evansville Gaming Guild) used to meet in restaurants -- at its height when there were 50+ people per meeting we had our own banquet room, but in later years we'd just have a section of 3 or 4 tables in the main room. I'd never play at a restaurant/bar that wasn't as part of a club that had cleared it in advance with the manager -- even as it was they weren't too happy with us because we were loud and disruptive, tied up tables, didn't order that much food or drinks, and didn't tip well. I've played in a college student-union public rec room (and also in a college cafeteria banquet room, which is sort of semi-public). I've never played in a library (and would think that rpg play would tend to be much too loud to be appropriate for a library). I think that's about it (hmm, I've played in more public places than I thought...). [/QUOTE]
