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?
I’ve had some luck joining the game’s discord server and checking the LFG posts. Depends on the game, of course, works best for small but not unknown indie games.
