I am running into problems with getting others interested in Dragon Dice. I have gone to the majority of local game stores and put up flyers stating I will teach (or re-teach) people how to play. I have also posted on various pages on FB stating the same info as my flyers. However, I have yet to get more than a few people interested in doing a demo.

Most of the gamers in my area play things like Magic and Warhammer (40K more so than the fantasy version). And very few of them want to try something new.

So, here's two things I am hoping for.

1) I am hoping to find others who live near me and play Dragon Dice

2) I am asking for any kind of help to "lure" others into the game. In other words, is there more I could be doing?

agreed, don't just wait for someone to show up.

sit around and play the game being silly and loud. don't try to win, just try crazy things.

people love the dice and I've never failed to get comments while playing, but I never get anyone interested if I just sit and wait for them to come by.

Thanks for the advice.

There is one thing I should clarify. I don't just wait for people to reply to my ads (the posts on FB and the flyers I have up). I am at a certain place with all my stuff; same day, same time. One problem though is that I don't always have someone to play the game with.

What part of Western NY are you in? I used to live in Rochester NY and Millennium Games was where my father and myself played Dragon dice regular, they held events on the regular all the time back in the 90's.

Also does your store have any other game events that could be lured into the game such as Dice Masters or ASHES. If either I would try and see about playing on one of those days as well, you demographics will be key to luring in certain gamers.

Hey Marcus!
I just got in touch with a Dragon Dice interested player in Western NY. Are you still active and interested in playing?

I'll be playing with my new friend over Tabletop Simulator, once I learn how to use it. But being able to play in person would be a major plus.

Dolus, I am still interested in meeting more Dragon Dice players. I am near Buffalo, NY and the store I hang out at is called Heart of the Game (it's on S. Rossler in Cheektowaga, NY).

As far as me still being active, I apologize for not being around regularly lately. I've just been busy with other things, preventing me from keeping up with things here.
