During these weeks, roleplaying enthusiasts are encouraged to take their favorite RPG rulebooks out with them and "get caught" reading them in public - on the bus, in the coffee shop, at lunch, at the park, or anywhere (as long as it isn't disruptive to work, school, church, or any other functions).The goal is to make the roleplaying hobby more visible, to get it "out of the basement" and into public areas where more people can see it. This will make others more aware of the hobby - some may ask you what your book is about, giving you the opportunity to explain the hobby to them. A few of those may be interested enough to try it themselves. Former gamers may see what you're reading and think about the great times they used to have with roleplaying, and possibly even try it again.This upcoming week - February 28th to March 6th - will be the first of this year's events. Take an RPG book out with you that week, and see where it takes you.  Be sure to email me at <a href="mailto:RPGadvocate@gmail.com">RPGadvocate@gmail.com</a> with any interesting stories or pictures that result, and (with your permission) I'll share them on the Escapist Blog.For more info on the cause, visit the official page at <a href="http://www.theescapist.com/readrpgsinpublic" target="_blank">The Escapist - Read an RPG Book in Public Week</a>  You can also join the Facebook group at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Read-an-RPG-Book-in-Public-Week/316050748718" target="_blank">Read an RPG Book in Public Week | Facebook</a> and if you're on Twitter, use the #readrpgs hashtag to tweet and see the tweets of other particpants.</blockquote>
