a co-worker and i have started an RPG group. there are 4 of us so far. we play in the Fullerton area. We prefer 5th Ed D&D. My co-worker has mostly played d&d 5E but is open to trying other systems. I’ve played pretty much everything.
We’d like to find 1 more player who can commit to a weekly live session on Mondays. I personally have little patience for group members who no-show or cancel at the last minute. If you commit to the group, please be prepared to attend most if not all sessions.
Our schedule may be tough to synch with many people due to classes or work or whatever. We’re playing every Monday, 9 AM to 3 PM. This may be a factor for your ability to commit to the sessions. I totally get that life happens. All we ask is open communication and a recognition that other people have set aside the game time out of their busy lives.
All are welcome: all opinions, all creeds, all backgrounds, all lifestyles. We’ll all get along so long as we don’t insist that everyone else agree with us.
For full disclosure, our group so far is 4 men age 28-55.
I’m in the western Inland Empire. Is your friend or you planning to DM or are you looking for a DM? While I can do so because I’m retired, you might find difficulty finding finding 3 - 5 other people willing to commit to 6 - 8 hour sessions weekly or even biweekly on a weekday. If you would like to discuss this more feel free to direct message me.
You replied in the main thread, but given that you posted no personally identifiable information it’s not a big deal. I would be interested in running a 1e AD&D game if others are interested.
The main point I was attempting to make regarding have such long sessions during the work week was that I think you’ll be hard-pressed to find enough people that will be willing to commit if they have to be to work the following morning. For example if one works until 5pm how early do you think the session could realistically start during the work week? So a 6 - 8 hour session starting at 6pm during the week? Do you think people are going to desire to have a session lasting until midnight or later if they then have to be at work at 8am or earlier the following morning?
You and you co-worker may want to consider an 8+ hour session one or two Saturdays a month on rotating weeks (i.e. shift between the 1st & 3rd Saturdays one month & the 2nd & 4th Saturdays the following month or something similar). Also are you or your co-worker planning to host this at one of your homes, to rent a table a local game store or do you plan to use some other public space?
I’m still interested, I would have no problem being in Fullerton at 11am during the week for an 8 hour session. Feel free to direct message me by clicking on my name or avatar & followed clicking on the purple “Message” envelope icon in the upper right corner on the next webpage if you’d like to discuss this in person. Maybe meet at a restaurant or bar local to you if you wish.
I started in '83 with Mentzer Red Box Basic before quickly switching to 1e AD&D & continued to play it through 2000 subsequent to playing 3.x & Pathfinder 1e afterwards. Used material from 2e in the 1e games during the '90s given the 95%+ similarity between 1e & 2e.
