So you've read about the Dreaming. You think it sounds like fun, and you want to play. Now what?
Odds are there aren't any people playing the Dreaming in your area.... yet. Recruiting people to game with can be tricky, but here are some tips to help generate interest in your area.
- Plan an intro activity - like a boffer making workshop, character creation day, or Q&A session. Here, you'll be able to talk about the game and answer people's questions
- Put up posters - We have a few printable advertisements for the game. Put these up in coffee shops, the library, gaming stores, your school, or any place that people gather.
- Recruit your gaming group - if you play live action or tabletop roleplaying games, you probably already know gamers in your area. Convince them to give the game a try.
- Social Networking Sites - are great places to recruit other bored gamers. Your town might have a local bulletin board for posting local events. You could also post a gathering on meetup.com.
- Host a Gathering - Once you've got a few recruits, pick a time and place for everybody to gather. Invite everybody to the spot for a game night. Make sure you have some activities planed such as dueling, fighting Shades, or perhaps a Dream Walk. Bringing some food and drink won't hurt either.
- Encourage Others to Lead - Encourage people to think about good spots for the game and fun things to do while playing. Get them to recruit their friends who might be interested.
