I doubt it.Lake Geneva, sez I. It's where it all started...and there's a yearly Con there...histroically relevant people (people working on it now are not historically relevant...in 5-10 years, they might be. But not now.) AND, it's a con with the name of the originator (or the biggest name of originators that people know, anyway).While I have never felt a need to go to Wisconsin before...if you want to do a museum to the history of the game...that seems the only real choice. And if it DOES bring some people into some sleepy midwestern town, where's the downside? This is a "destination" type of endeavor. Putting it in Seattle or Chicago because it's "easy access"/near travel centers isn't really a good reason, imho. Let's put a Queen Elizabeth museum in Atlanta. What? People can fly right in! Or move Neufschwanstein castle to Munich. It's just easier to get to than Fussen.See? Doesn't quite work/make sense does it?Just my two coppers, of course. I doubt it'll happen...but I think it should. Put the a D&D museum in Lake Geneva...<invokes best Mommy Dearest>"...where a D&D museum OUGHT t'BE!"</invocation>PS: What about the possibility of opening TWO?! Put the historic mostly physical stuff with digital details and audio tours and everything, in Lake geneva (again, where it belongs!) and...if they're interested in pure "traffic"/revenue (which any museum would be) put the commercialized/tourist trap one in Orlando. Orlando would, undoubtedly, make enough money to finance both locations. Swap "exhibits", speakers and special events between the two.</blockquote>
