10-12-04, 03:21 PM I can see how that is slowing you down. Well, good luck with it.

Smart-alecking aside, try these suggestions. (And forgive me if they are infeasible, but you did give us scant details from which to even attempt to help you.)

Know anyone with a basement, garage, or attic that you could play in? Preferrably a player.

Got any restaurants in town wouldn't mind a group hanging out for about 4 hours a week?

Got any parents that work late, go to that house.

See if your library has a community room, and find out what the rules are for using it.

As for a group, where do you buy your books? Do they have a message board? Have you tried the Gamer's Classifieds on these boards? Have you looked at other websites dedicated to helping players meet?

Good luck!

10-12-04, 03:28 PM Pick/write small adventures that can be finished in one game session. Have all players be part of a "Adventures Guild/Group". Who ever can make it for that night, they play. This works great beacuse it gets the players telling their own stories to their friends when they actuly all make it out.

Of course another idea wich you can't do often (well wich i can't do often) is whenever you can all get together, you play for long periods of time.

But as for needing places to play
-ask local gaming stores if they allow people to run stuff (some do)
-library, sure crappy but you get some space.
