So, I recently had a falling out with one of the guys I play(ed) with regularly, and around the same time, the other guy (who has become almost a non-entity when it comes to any of our gaming) tells me that because of his schedule, he will not be playing anymore.


So long story short, I lost my group of players.


Now, with no one to play with, I am beginning to think I might need to consider the terrible notion that I may need to get out of the game. I don't want to, but I have essentially stopped my table top games because I don't have anyone to game with. As far as attack wing goes, being a TO for two guys got really old, especially after one of those guys quits because the other guy is a jerk.

So my question and last prayer is this: how do I revitalize the community before it dies out completely?

Well it's a tough spot. A dwindling play group isn't a reason to get out though. You could scale back or lool for a new venue that has a player group. You could also post games nights on the store site or places like boardgamegeek.com.

One alternative I have seen stores do to get people in is to drop the blinds and just go to a small entry fee to cover the OP kit cost. From what my store tells me OP kits will be going down in cost after the Movie OPs. Down to $6 or $7 IIRC. So a low cost event for a few hours entertainment could draw people in.

But worse case if none of that works take a break for a while then see if you can get things going. Maybe the guy who is a jerk will calm down a bit when he realizes he has no one to game with.
