“Now it’s time to recruit. You’ve got a cool setting and enough information about it to explan it to your friends. the next step is to find out who wants to play, and when they can do it.
When you’re finding out who wants to play, first ask when each person can make it. It’s very important that you set a fluctuating week-to-week schedule, you’re almost certainly doomed to faiure. People have busy lives, and as mush as everone involved might love to play, they’ve still got to study for classes, take care of their children, and otherwise live their lives. If you have a set night every week, it’s much easier for your friends to schedule most of their activities around game night. It also helps you know when you’ve got to be ready to run.
It’s most common for people to play from about 6PM to 11PM on a weeknight, or on a Sunday night. Friday and Saturday are great if you’re in college, but difficult for older players who have wives and children as they need their weekend nights to be with their familiesw. If you start at 6PM, your players have time to get off work, grab some food (or share pizza with the group), and get deep into the game by 7 or so.
Make sure you wrap thinges up by 11PM or so as well. Your players likely have work or classes the next day and you don’t want game night to be a stressful experience for them. If you define these things up front, you can help those players with very busy schedules figure out ahead of time whether or not they can handle your game night.
A wise Game Master tries to end each night with a bit of a cliffhanger as well. If your players are talking during the week about what’s going to happen next, you’re done your job well.”
