SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

OP fits my experience - the best campaigns tend to be with a mix of players I already knew, and new players. Or recombine players from different gaming groups. Always playing with the same group of people gets stale.

Edit: I think the Broadway musical is a pretty good analogy to an RPG campaign actually (& in most groups the GM has the Producer role, as well as Director). Both recruit players/actors who are typically expected to remain a fairly stable group for the life of the endeavour. Whereas swapping out too many people during the endeavour can often kill it, getting some fresh blood in at the start is beneficial.
