Anyone ELSE having problems finding players

[kaladorn]

There are PBeMs on megatraveller.com and on rpol.net under sci-fi. I quite enjoy them, though I find playing styles vary a *lot* as do PBeM styles, and this sometimes causes some issues.

I'm lucky, as the GM of our group, whether it be AD&D or Traveller, I'm the motivator, so I get to choose the system (never get to PLAY it mind you, just GM it). My AD&D game has been running for well over a decade now. Traveller is our 'second choice' RPG.

Finding players can be a pox. I moved 150km from my players, so now we have to arrange monthly pilgrimmages and day long games whereas before a games evening would have been easy. But life goes on.

Try putting some adds up at your local games store, visit local cons and recruit, etc.

Yeah, well if you'd moved 90 miles away it wouldn't seem as far.

I had no problem getting players. After a year, though, I think it's gonna be tough keepin' them - a kinda centifugal force conspiring to keep us from our monthly meet...

I feel your pain ! I have no problem finding Miniature gamers , hi Fanatsy roleplayers, and family game-players, but finding Board wargamers and Lo Fanatsy (Ie- Traveller players is tough). My current RPG group, made up of good friends I am very comfortable with, are very rigid..they will only play Hi Fanatasy Games and subvert any kind of realistic role-playing possibilities. My current attitude is that I really enjoy developing a traveller caimpaign (I have a BS in Physics and a minor in Astronomy) for its own sake. I know that if I persever enough (game stores, cons, etc) I will eventually find the right players. Traveller, to me, is THE richest rpg universe there is, bar none..locating people who have seen the light like me will take time :0)

Our group has been at it for 8 years. We rotate through different games, according to the preference of the guy who's going to referee. It's okay, but nothing does it for me like Traveller.
