I feel so blessed here in Kingston, NY where we have had a gaming group since 1979. People come and go, but the group has held fast.
May I suggest some things to help you with founding your gaming group?
You can find RPGists a number of ways, your local book or hobby store. Post a notice there stating that you would like to start a game up.
Your school/college might have an RPG club under any of many names, or you can try posting at your loca library (some have a community room where you caneven play until you know the group members better.)
Or you can ask two (or more) friends to try it out with you, and learn together as you go.
The trick is to find a Game Master/Story Teller who knows better than to play against the party. That is the way to darkness...
