01-07-08, 05:49 PM I'm looking for suggestions on where to look for a group to game with. I used to play D&D about 7 years ago, and now that I have a little more time on my hands, I want to play again. However, everyone I used to play with has either moved away, or has no time for it anymore.

Any suggestions? I have been unable to find anything online so far.

Edit: Found it. It seemed hard to find though

There is a tiny link to it in the General boards' description. That's the only place I found a link to it.

Has never failed to find me a half dozen players for any online campaign I've wished to play on or run, in less than two weeks. (in the past, Web RPG, more recently openRPG, or WOTC Dice Chat.

Cyberpunk, d20 Moderns, AD&D 1e, 2e, 3.X, WEG Star Wars d6, LUG Trek, Traveller, HERO, Gurps.

Agreed. I, too, do not know any place to find GOOD players with anything like reliability. Over time, I have cultivated relationships with the few good players I've found after weeding out a dozen applicants at a time from various ads for games I've put up on various sites like the RPG classifieds forums here on wizards, and I tend to play with these people. It takes me a while to find new players, because in all honesty most of the ones I find online tend to suck in various ways, whether they're poor roleplayers or just plain flaky and unreliable...
