DNDPROPS

New campaign kicking off this weekend—a VERY long term campaign.  We are going back to Magnimar (one of my favs) and starting Shattered Star and then follow that with the new Runelords campaign that Paizo is currently releasing.  I am very excited !!!  This should be fun.   Looks like we will be starting with a full table of 7 when every bodies schedule irons out at the beginning of the year-but for now we will start with 4-5 peeps…..

So recently our group lost a longtime gamer due to family illness. I Keep a “core 4” that we game with and up to 3 others in the group. We game with 4 minimum. We also have a young lady that will be taking off for a baby soon, but has promised to come back.
So begins my search to find a few more people to populate the table. Group dynamics are very important to me-as a Project Manager I have found that this can ruin a game if not properly balanced. So I try to get close to a 50/50 mix of male/females.  Also complicating matters is that one player easily grows bored of his character and wants to roll up a new one every 5 or so levels.  So I started a meetup page, sort of a portal to our FB page.   When somebody joins and they appear to be reliable and a good fit for our group, I invite them to the FB page and meet the group.  Before they even sit down with us the group has a dialogue with him/her and they are checked out.  I do this also because I game at my house and inviting a perfect stranger can be dangerous.
