[QUOTE="Album Cover X, post: 1565184, member: 19525"] The idea sounds like a good one but at risk of painting a target on myself let me play mephit's advocate... IMO I do think the society would have to be called something else other EnWorld X. Because in order to be truly effective for the entire industry it would need to be a complete separate entity. No hint of favoritism could exist to the outside world. Maybe I shouldn't be speaking about something I don't know too much about but don't most trade organizations/societies enjoy non-profit status. And their members come from a wide range backgrounds and often from competing companies to form something for the greater good of that industry. Correct me if I'm wrong... cause that happens alot :D I've lurked here for a long time, and I've seen the comment that at its core this site caters to D&D specifically and d20 as a result. Even tho I grant that D&D makes up the majority of the RPG culture there are a number of people who spend their time rolling dice for other games/systems. My concern is that some organization that is created to promote this hobby we all love would be somewhat narrowly focused and certain people would feel left out as it were. Or maybe this is just my 2nd cup of coffee talking... But I'm all for something that helps the game/hobby grow. [/QUOTE]
