And how did you go about finding out whether they were the right sort of group for you?? I'd also like to hear some of your experiences if you have? I know people on these forums usually have some funny stories and i do enjoy hearing them -Kraik

If you can't find anyone there, the Tavern is still not where to go.  You may want to try the Play By Post groups and find a group to game with online.  But yeah, here ain't gonna work.  Er ... unless you consider this post helpful and it aids you in finding a game.  Then, I guess, it worked.  But it's not supposed to.
