this is a pretty common problem for
0:02
folks trying to get into the hobby or
0:04
folks are already in the hobby who might
0:05
just be new to an area and having to
0:08
established a gaming group yet finding
0:10
or forming your gaming group obviously
0:13
very important if you want to play
0:15
tabletop RPGs dungeons of dragons
0:17
Pathfinder whatever else but there are a
0:20
lot of resources available to you um
0:23
your first stop should generally be your
0:26
local game store assuming that wherever
0:29
you live has one but of course not
0:31
everywhere is that fortunate sometimes
0:34
um sometimes your local comic shop will
0:37
also sell tabletop games especially if
0:40
there isn't a local gaming store so they
0:42
can be a great place to start but if
0:45
neither of those work for you if neither
0:47
of those things are an option it's
0:49
pretty easy to go online if you go to
0:52
wizards.com look for the store locator
0:55
find a local store that sells DD
1:00
and frequently uh those stores are a
1:03
great place to find other Gamers um
1:06
sometimes those stores will have like
1:08
bulletin boards where people are posting
1:10
games although that is going away in
1:12
today's world you know since everything
1:15
is online now um more likely you're
1:18
going to find folks through online
1:20
services uh forums like Reddit and roll
1:24
20 are frequently recommended but it is
1:26
very difficult to find a good fit
1:30
Services more likely try something like
1:34
RPG match.com um I believe demiplane
1:38
also has a group locator so you can find
1:41
other people looking for groups
1:43
frequently that that will end with you
1:44
playing online but there's nothing wrong
1:46
with that like I love an in-person game
1:48
but it's hard to argue with convenience
1:50
especially if you're trying to find a
1:52
new group sometimes you can find those
1:54
groups locally but it's you know it
1:56
depends heavily on where you are so RPG
2:01
plane um if you're looking for
2:04
Pathfinders specifically warhorn is very
2:07
active especially for organized play um
2:10
organized play can be a fantastic way to
2:13
find other people playing the same game
2:16
that you're looking for so adventurers
2:18
league for DND Pathfinder Society for
2:21
Pathfinder their organized play leagues
2:23
for free League I believe there's one
2:26
from Mor Borg don't quote me on that um
2:29
but there there are abundant resources
2:31
for getting into those organized play
2:33
groups and maybe organized play isn't
2:35
your thing long term but if nothing else
2:37
it's a great way to meet local Gamers
2:40
who are looking to play the same game as
2:42
you and maybe you meet people there and
2:44
then you form a separate group outside
2:46
of organized play so you can play you
2:48
know a a more comfortable home game as
2:50
opposed to playing within the strictures
2:52
of an organized play league
