For example, maybe the club owners did exactly what you advise, they banned those customers, but since you never set foot in the club again, they haven't recovered you as a customer.In my area, we built a fine roleplaying community organizing a lot of one-shot adventure tournaments, with simplified rules and pre-made characters, we asked for permission to LARP in our town streets, and often invited the media. A lot of would-be gamers thought that 4 hours of an adventure just to try it couldn't have hurt too much, and got hooked into the hobby. People appreciated the novelty of seeing boys and girls dressed in funny ways acting on the streets, and in more than one town the municipality offered roleplaying clubs a seat for a little price or even for free.People got together, founded a society called '25th edition' that translates, prints and ships 3e-3.5e books all over the country, allowing so access to the hobby to non-english speaking players too - all of this from my city, that is hardly one of the biggest in Italy.Sure it took a lot of work, but if you want to do something 'for the sake of the hobby' do something that matters.BTW, Crothian, when you told your CPM he could not game with you, did you tell him why?</blockquote>
