Lately, I have been having a problem with finding in-person players. I have visited shops to find them full of Magic and other TCG players, but no role-players. Several game stores in my area are like this. I have posted on relevant socials and Discords like the Discord server for a game store, local area RPG players Discord and FB pages, LFG groups on reddit and Lemmy and Discord. I’m wondering if anybody else has this problem, and how are you trying to solve this?

If you can’t find groups to join, you can start your own group. The key is to be a GM looking for players, then people will magically appear…

Then you can move onto the next phase: scheduling hell, and why I hate people

That’s what I have been doing, trying to run games.
