What are you looking for?
I have two games that I'm involved in. I'm currently trying to start up an "old school" FRPG, using Castles and Crusades, Swords and Wizardry, or something similar, on Saturday afternoons/evenings, once or twice a month in SF.
My Sunday group is weekly (~4 weeks of every 5, ~1-6PM), and meets in SF, Oakland, or nearby environs. We're college-educated professionals, late-20s-early-40s. We tend towards indie, story-telling games like Pendragon, Spirit of the Century/FATE, Dogs in the Vineyard. We've also played Ars Magica, Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green, Star Wars (d6), TORG. We don't play D&D, Palladium, or World of Darkness. We GM in rotation for ~2-4 months. (http://home.comcast.net/~aikibrewer/MrGamesAd.html)
Experience is not as important as attitude. We look for people with good character- and plot-development skills, who will add to our stories and everyone's enjoyment, rather than power-gamers, rules-lawyers, gunbunnies, munchkins, or gloomcookies. (You know who you are, and if that's how you like to play, that's great, but you won't like our games.)
Ideally, you should have decent social skills (and hygiene) and be able talk about something other than gaming and general geekery. Yes, we're geeks and proud of it, but we also have lives. Most of us are married or equivalent, and all of us have other, diverse non-gaming interests and friends.
We'll want to meet with you at least once in person before we invite you to play.
