Meetup followup...

Well, we had our first Wichita Roleplayers Meetup Group event last night. Four of us met at Mulligan's Pub (which was a nice place for this... they're about dead on Tuesday night and it was pretty quiet) and talked for a couple hours about the games we play, exploits of our characters, why Farscape shouldn't have been canceled. You know, gamer kind of stuff.

I'm not sure what the future of this group will be. BruceG is looking to do some roleplaying... being without a group, he's looking to make the Meetup into a gaming group. I'm more inclined to keep socialization the primary purpose of the main monthly meeting, though that wouldn't preclude playing some card or board games. I just don't want to exclude anybody because they already have a game group and aren't interested in another, or just don't like what the group is playing. I want to keep the Meetup group a meeting place and forum for roleplayers to discuss the hobby.

But now that Meetup lets us schedule other events, there's plenty of room to add a monthly (or twice-a-month) gaming event as well as the regular Monday event.

But I had fun, and I'm looking forward to attracting more roleplayers as folks see that we're actually having meetings.
