[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 3781394, member: 3649"] A great number of people do, though, if we're to ever realize more people picking the game up off the bookstore shelf and taking it home because it sounds like a good time. Most games don't sufficiently explain themselves to new players. In my experience, most people learned from other people, but that was before D&D was sold through the book trade. Now, the game is out there, but I'm willing to bet that the D&D For Dummies book does a better job of explaining what an RPG is. I wish there was some way of determining how many people think D&D looks interesting, can't find out just what it is, and place it back on the shelf never to look at it again. I suspect it's a rather high number but there's no way of knowing. I think that a good solid description of what an RPG is and how it works is essencial in drawing more people to the hobby. Thankfully, I'm certain you will be sorely disappointed in this area. [/QUOTE]
