[QUOTE="Ulrick, post: 4866621, member: 775"] Well, here's my plan to save the industry... 1. From here on out, every RPG book must have a "tastefully" scantily clad woman on the cover. Perhaps getting actual pictures of celebrities dressed up in fantasy constumes might help. 2. A certain portion of each book will be dedicated to advertising. Such adverstising would cater to the average gamer, everything from miniatures to deodorant. Coupons could be included. 3. Maybe each book could contain a centerfold of the person on the cover. 4. Along with tips and advice of performing well at table, relationship advice could also be included. "10 ways to tell if that gamer girl is into you!" Or "Only gamer chick at the FLGS? Try these 7 things to WoW them!" 5. Gaming books releases should be monthly (they practically are now anyway). 6. Perhaps the teen demographic could be reached with books that contain articles for them. "Miley Cyrus: D&D or not D&D?" "Parents think you worship Satan? 10 ways to prove them wrong!" 7. All RPG books can repeat the same topic every 2-3 years or so. (Wait minute...they almost do that already...) ---- Even though I'm not really being serious, upon closer consideration these ideas might actually work... :hmm: [/QUOTE]
