(Perhaps with enough information to allow someone to run a mini-campaign.)I DO agree that we need to present a decent image in public, and maybe advertise events a bit more.  For example, as Incenjucar suggested an outdoor game might work well. (I realize you said convention, but the hazards of bad weather might prove disastrous.)  Possibly a gaming group like the RPGA or the old SAGA organization in St. Louis might be able to help with such an event.  (I think many gamers would be interested in events where they could have some fun and maybe bring some new people into the hobby.)Also, some advertising might be a good idea.   Heck, I remember some of TSR's old ads.  They advertised for D&D and Star Frontiers in the 1980s.  Advertising on cable might be a good idea.  (The Quiznos hamsters might have been appropriate for a Spelljammer ad. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> )However, I doubt that WotC will do much with its previous campaign settings.  In the case of Greyhawk, is there a version that everyone would agree to and who would write it.  The Greyhawk fan base is very fragmented and I don't know if it is even possible to produce a Greyhawk product that the majority of its fans would accept as canon.</blockquote>
