I've got 2 groups. Main group has been together since around '88. I created half of the second group.(my two sons) group is filled out with #1 sons wife and a couple of their friends. Main group plays pretty much SR and Pathfinder .Second group started with D&D 3.5 but now will only play SR. ( I trained 'em well.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/spin.gif)

I got my current groups through multiple methods, online, a few old friends, through the LGS.....

I started roleplaying about 14 years ago and joined another group of (much) older roleplayers.
Since my parents have had a spare room and I managed to acquire a dinning room table (from one of the older roleplayers), the group started meeting regularly there.

Players have come and gone, and Shadowrun is not the only system we play. I can safely say that half of the players have been found on the internet. On forums such as Orcs Nest and Leisure Games which is great for London UK players.

The rest have been friends some of which I have introduced and others who have been wanting to join my group but its been too full and has had to wait (several years) for someone to drop out.

My advice to you is to either join another group and become the GM for a shadowrun group, or start your own group.
If you are going to start your own group, I highly recommend a Sunday game. I play a good six hours every sunday from noon till 6pm.

If you don't fancy your hand at GMing, then try and find someone who will GM for any other game and introduce them to the shadowrun awesomeness. The great thing however about SR is that it is in not a too distant future so the world setting is familiar. People generally know where places are, what cultures are like and as such you or your new SR GM should find it considerably easier to write and run.

Good Luck

"I converted an existing group from another RPG" is the most appropriate to my situation. I joined a gaming group (as I noticed someone in my math class downloading RPG pdfs) and that group ran multiple games (mostly D&D at the time) and I joined a 3e ShadowRun game because the setting sounded awesome.

Pretty much from the time 1st edition came out, up until 2000 we had a great group in my home town, but then I moved to Japan for a decade and most people went their separate ways. Fast forward about a year ago and when I returned to the US I found that a few of the group were still within the general area, and we started up a 4th game. Of course, true to my luck, after a couple of months of playing, our GM was sent to Iraq for a year.

Luckily, however, a game shop about half an hour from where I live now has just announced that they'll be starting up SR Missions there and about a dozen of us showed up for a character generation session over this last weekend.

I play City of Heroes/Villains often and, some time ago, was convinced to join a Skype D&D game some City Of friends were playing. The group has more or less stuck together since then, with three or four 'core' members that show up in almost all of our games.

Shadowrun is one we decided we should play more recently, us being people with less of a life than usual and able to fit three or four games into our schedule. ;P (We're also running Urban Arcana, Pathfinder, and doing some messing-around with a system called Wushu, while the D&D game is still running.) Though, I'd have to say Shadowrun is probably my favorite so far.

I play with a group that changes GM and games played after a campaign or GM feels it's done for the time. Never played Shadowrun before, but I picked up the game last year and we're gonna start a game in a few months with me as GM.

I marked 'converted a group' but in truth they were people I met in high school. back then we played D&D and they'd been playing before I came along, Mainly D&D but we tried a few others along the wayToon, Snitts Revenge should tell you how old a team we're talknig here. and then we switched to SR and having used mg's to mow down orks we just couldn't go back to swords.

[Daddy's Litt...]

I am 'other.' My husband and best friend were in a group so I started playing too
