[QUOTE="dhunton, post: 6050356, member: 72040"] First, we want to give a heartfelt “Thank you” for the well-considered opinions and questions. We are definitely happy to discuss our plans and thoughts in detail, and hope that our passion for the game and the museum come across, even through these more professional posts. :) The best option would be the one where the most people will visit the museum. The only way we can truly determine this is through the survey we will be sending out once we fund. We don’t want to put it somewhere completely unconnected to the game, though. We would be happy to consider somewhere in the NE US if there was a connection to the game. As for the draw, Wikipedia says that approximately 20 million people have played D&D. Most of them remember it fondly, and would love to re-capture a piece of their youth. The museum in NYC has signs up which say “Suggested Donation: Adults $10, Children 5-15 $5, Children under 5 $1” (although the prices might be somewhat different now). Most people give the suggested donation. Many give more. Some cannot give that much, but everyone gives something. We don’t want to turn away anyone just because they don’t have enough money. And yes, we have run businesses before, both our own, and as employees. We also have lawyers, business managers, accountants, and others who have volunteered their services to the museum, so we are well supported. We will not be relying on donations online, although we will, of course, be relying on entry donations to a point. Grants will provide a regular source of funds for the museum (we can begin to file for them once we have been open for a year), as well as sales in the gift shop (which will also be online, and function as an online game store too). Good idea, as long as the local codes and such allow it, AND we have enough room for it. We will definitely add it to the list, thanks!
