Right up the road from where I live there is a Del Webb retirement village. You probably know the kind of place, you buy a house that is pretty nice but small so that when you retire you can have nice finishings and all but it's easier to maintain because you're older. Everyone in the neighborhood is 55+ so you get to live among people you may have something in common with.
I'm thinking if there is a community bulletin board it might be worth it to go over and put a flyer up that says something to the effect of, "did you play D&D back in the '70s and '80s? Do you ever miss it? Do you have time to play now and would like to play something that resembles the old game to you?"
I wonder if that would get any traction when I'm ready to start recruiting players?

Exalt. Great idea. Please do it and let us know how it goes. Also try contacting community event organizers or something.

I think that is a great idea. Once I get some real life things taken care of, I want to restart my face to face game and I will have to recruit players myself. Please let us know how it goes.
