Is there a good non-SR specific website out there to find fellow gamers in my area?

Lessee... There's plothook.net, the Yahoo groups, and burningvoid.com that I can think of offhand.

I can't vouch for the quality of any of those, but (at least) one buddy of mine has used them before.

You could try the registry of this forum.

Azralon: thanks! I'll try those out.

UndeadPoet: I said non-Sr specific. I doubt there's lots of traffic here from non-SR players.

Edit: and I already registered there.

Those don't look like setups where people go to meet new gamers, which is what I was primarily looking for.

I just poked around on Plothook and Burning Void, and I gotta agree that they don't look all that useful. I did find http://www.plothook.net/RPG/forumdisplay.php?f=40 for a "meet players" deal, but it doesn't look too extensive.

Try Googling for "gamer classifieds" or some such? It'd probably be easier to hit a specific game's site to look for people.

Or just be one of those guys who hangs out at a gaming store for 5 hours a day. I'm sure you'll meet all sorts of freaks. I mean folks. Folks.

Yeah, but those would be SR players who also play other games, not non-Sr players.

And watching TV is never a bad excuse. It's the American Way.

Two other spots to try:

RPG.net

EN World

Try googling around for roleplayers in your area, and don't forget to try to bulletin boards at your local gaming store. If nothing turns up, you can always do what I did and just create the resources you were looking for.

If you live in a major city, I'd recommend http://www.meetup.com

toy could also try myspace.
