      It’s definitely very hard.

      The best option I’ve found so far is to live with or near your players. Currently we live next door to the people we game with which is excellent. Regular weekly game, allowing for life stuff.

      The other best option I’ve found is to agree to a schedule, like every week and provided more than x people turn up the game runs.

      Scheduling is the biggest killer of games though by far.

      I’ve run two 5e oneshots with people from Lemmy in the past month lol planning another. One of those players is planning one actually and I gotta find someone who’d be willing to join

      I briefly ran a game for 4 players weekly, but that’s become a board game night since one got offended by something someone said, and another is that person’s partner, so now there are too few of us

      Another game has been running now for years playing d&d 3.5, with two people happy to GM, which is pretty close to unique in my experience

      I don’t think timing has been the cause of failure of a group I’ve been part of

      Shame Lemmy is so small, I feel it’s unlikely I’d find anyone near enough to put another group together/grow the too small group
