The golden age is past, and I doubt that we will ever see something like it again. As for where do we go from here..I honestly don't know. On the one hand, I know that JeffB is right, and that RPGs of a sort were here before 1975, and they'll be here long after that. I also know that grassroots and underground hobbies can thrive, because I am myself a member of some of them. That being said, there is a part of me that remembers deploying a network for a rather large metropolitan church several years ago. The pro audio installer was visiting with the individual in charge of project, and apparently that person was shying away from the price. "Look," the pro audio installer said, "If you want to be seen as a big church, you have to sound, look like, and be a big church." That part of me wonders if we aren't the same way. If we want to be a popular medium, then don't we have to look and sound like it? Don't we need the cons, the big store displays, and etc, and all the trappings of the glory days?</blockquote>
