[QUOTE="dhunton, post: 6050427, member: 72040"] But, it’s an hour and a half from Chicago, an hour from Milwaukee, and gamers from as far away as Minneapolis and even Indianapolis could make a day trip of a visit to the museum. There are positives and negatives to each location, and we’re just trying to make sure that everyone sees all sides… Well, tourist-wise, it IS the home of GenCon. :) As for population, it’s less than a day’s trip from St. Louis, Columbus, Chicago, Detroit, Louisville, Nashville, etc, etc. To address your thoughts: one attraction amongst hundreds is absolutely true, but we’re unlikely to appeal to the same crowd as, say, airboat rides in the Everglades. :) Hurricanes can be prepared for to minimize losses, and they almost always give days or weeks notice. There is a very strong connection to D&D – Dave Arneson, co-creator of D&D, taught game designing (based in large part on his work with D&D) at Full Sail University for 20 years in the Orlando area. There is a very strong 3rd- and 4th-edition connection here, and it’s a large city in its own right with a decent tourist flow. In fact, an online contact in Sweden said that of the 4 locations we’re considering for the museum, it’s the one he’s most likely to get to. Which is why we want to appeal to those who remember it fondly. We want to remind them how much fun they had. Maybe they get back into the hobby, maybe they just have a fun few hours at the museum… but it keeps the game alive in their minds and in the world.
