So, this gaming group started a Me, My Wife, Friend A, Friend B, and a couple that friend B met more recently.
For various reasons, Friend B dropped out about the time I started running a new game for the group. A little later we decided we wanted to slowly increase our numbers to buffer the ability to play if someone was missing.
I picked up a player from Reddit who had never had a chance to get into a PF2E game, all his attempts had met with DOA groups and I wanted to improve his experience. Later on, I picked up another player from Royal Road, she and I both publish serials there and follow each other's stories, and started chatting.
Edit: Oh, and all this is online, excepting the couples none of us live within convenient distance from each other. Though ironically, the other couple moved last year and are now only two hours away from us.
I'm going to regret posting this on my discord where my GM can see it, yet I am going to do it anyway...
