Alternatively, game feels thread.
Look in a game finder thread

Honestly? Internet people are too flaky for me, my friends are almost as bad, can only corral them together once in a blue moon, but I wanted to find a gaming group, there wasn't one, so I took a crack at running games for my friends.
No, they don't often have the time, yes it always goes wrong, but I'm not gonna stop, no way, I will make this work.

I don't know ifI should be horrified or impressed.
Give us details. What was the setting? The plot? How many people died?

Hmm, I don't want to hijack the thread, so I'll post excerpts here and probably do a full writeup in a separate thread.
The excerpts include flying cities, monsters all over the ground, wizard politics, superweapons, and then fae bullshit. Everything became (or rather, always was) fae bullshit.
The players loved it; a day later they're still talking about the cool stuff that happened and what the characters would do in their epilogues in greater detail.
Become GM
Play a whole bunch of characters, and become the primary means of playing games

I really hope to be in that situation some day.
My party has played my campaign five times in the past year, and only recently have I gotten them to let me write them personalities beyond murderhobo. We'll get through this together, step by step.

Oh wow
Join a Mush. Online play 24/7, with a large playerbase that pops in and out. A cast of dozens of different PCs, interweaving plotlines, and detailed settings. It's pretty excellent.
Here's my current favourite, it's oWoD, with mages, changelings, vampires, and shifters. Some interesting plots, active storytellers, and a great bunch of players.
