[QUOTE="Tav_Behemoth, post: 4752827, member: 18017"] Yep, that's why you're not the target market. The problem with using RPG forums to reach potential customers is that just about everyone who's reading this would have no problem finding a non-pay-to-play game if they were in NYC. The trick is reaching the people who are so out of the loop that having a gaming experience pre-packaged for them is a service worth paying for, and it's a difficult trick because it's hard to reach people who are that out of it! I certainly never found a good solution to that solution. On the other hand, Piratecat, you definitely are in the category of creators whose fans would be willing to pay to be part a RPG session you ran - I think this was said earlier in one of these threads, and I heard it from folks I surveyed for Otherworld Excursions as well.
