I don't know what to tell you. I played the game several years ago and had a lot of fun. Now I can't find anyone else who plays.

Probably because everyone else discovered the wonders of the female anatomy.

yeah i was in a great group a few years ago. but a few others either got married or took jobs out of state.

of course that kind of stuff happens as you get older.

Try checking at the nearest gaming/comic shop -- if you have no local place, then the in-town gamers will probably frequent the closest, unless it really sucks. Most of the gaming shops in my general area have a bulletin board full of posts, advertising for players or referees.

Maybe something like this post on Slashdot:
http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/08/03/0120249
would be helpful, discussing tabletop gaming over the net.

Good luck finding a good group. Have you considered running a game? Sometimes there are people who'd play if someone would DM... How often do you want to play? If you're down for just, say, a monthly session then perhaps even making a road trip of it would be worth the effort?

You know, I thought I was alone in this. Then you post, and just the other day I find out that a couple guys at my work play WoW and D&D online, and a couple used to roleplay. I think everyone is just a closet nerd at heart.

Consider Michael Jordan, having "retired," with $40 million in endorsements, he makes $178,100 a day, working or not. If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head. If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make $18,550 while he's there. If he decides to have a 5 minute egg, he'll make $618 while boiling it. He makes $7,415/hour more than minimum wage. He'll make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends. If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours. If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to do it at the rate of $2.00 every second.

He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round. Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred account (401k), his contributions will hit the federal cap of $10,500 at 845am on January 1st. If you were given a penny for every 10 dollars he made, you'd be living comfortably at $65,000 a year.

He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon. While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600. This year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined. Amazing isn't it?

However... If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 500 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has at this very moment.

Game over. Nerd wins.

Learn to play with yourself?

Edit:
Oops! I guess I meant, "learn to play by yourself." :D
