I've only ran a group once, and while it was fun it was only a one-time thing. I'd really like to DM or even play as a character, but I'm unsure how to best arrange a session, considering I don't live in a house that's super... welcoming to other people :/. Would it be a good idea to maybe set up a spot at a game store? A cafe? And while I'm happy to reinvite the initial group to play again and regularly, I have some individual friends that I would love to play with but I'm not sure how to set up a game where people don't really know each other.
Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated!
