Instead of recruiting 1 or 2 players for a specific game and then disappearing into a dark basement, let’s meet up for coffee/beer, trade gaming stories, find out who likes which games, and start to expand our pool of local gamers that play the same games we do.
I also like to organize one-shots and demos at Libraries or Game Shops, so definitely hit me up if you’re interested in something like that!
Lastly, Top Tier has a decent local discord if you’re interested!
Sounds great! Yeah could even find midpoint everyone could meet up at that would minimize travel for everyone involved. Could even paint it as a mini con…The Pen and Paper Games 1st annual table meet!
There used to be a site with a world map and you could pin yourself on it and then see who else had pinned themselves on the map, and click on their profile and send them a message. Back in the day I found several players through that site when I had moved to a new city. These days people might be hesitant to use such a site for fear of exposing their RW location to potential predators, but the internet used to be a much more innocent place at one time…
(edit) I found my old bookmark for the site. It is long gone and the url is just a placeholder for some server company now. Some things don’t last.
My suggestion when using such maps is to not be exact. I pin the city or county I live in, not the street i’m on. It’s close enough for people to judge distances for potential face-to-face games.
Could me nice to various regions. P&P is no where close to the peak usage it had in the old incarnation. Growing, slowly. The book of faces sucks the life out of every thing else.
