D&D is great.

Now if only I could find some people to play it with...

well, why not try over the internet? IRC with the stats and maps on the forum? the DO forum could use the traffic.

wait a minute...aren't i supposed to be looking for advice?

there are way too many roleplays going around vancouver, go google

seriously, open your city phonebook and look at the 'games' Category, you well might find something - i know at least three places in my city that sell D&D and/or similar stuff. and people who play can usually be found thru there

Bah. D&D is about roleplaying with people, not with letters/numbers moving on a screen.

You do not get any sense of atmosphere in chat RPing.

local stores frequently have bulliten Boards (the cork kind, you internet addicted wisecrackers!) where notes can be posted for people seeking Groups and Groups seeking people.

Try experiencing different games besides D&D. the new rules are not horible as rules go, and are probably better than the old ones, but the system its self suffers from feat-creep with magazines and new supliments much the same way warhammer forces you to buy all the latest White Dwarf's and Codexes (codicies?) to keep up to date. plus, theres no bell curve on 1D20.

but this isnt the place for me to be a gaming nazi. the important thing is to have fun, and to do so face to face with real people. find a local store, try the yellow pages. as them about local Groups and players.

I'm selling my 3.0 Players handbook, DMG, and Monster Manual. the 3 core books.
As well as a few extra books; the stronghold builders guidebook, arms and equipment guide, and savage species.
I'm also selling my 3.5 players handbook and the DMG (already with paper place holders taped in for DM use)

and since I'm in the best city in the world and hte only REAL city in Canada (*smiles and prepares to run for his life*)....

ok this was rambling... ignore it... unless you wanna buy my books.
