[QUOTE="med stud, post: 1566751, member: 1211"] The good thing about RPGs being called games is that lots of people enjoy playing games. So far I have only met a few people who doesnt like to play any kind of games. Some of these people will get curious when they see a role playing game and some of the curious people will get hooked. Most wont get hooked, either because it is too time consuming, takes too much logistics or that it is just not their cup of tea. I think it's a delusion to think it's possible to make RPGs much bigger than they are now. But, as others have said before, hobby is a vague term that is generally used to describe things that most people dont enjoy. And if someone who picks up the book that says "Role Playing Hobby" and finds out that what he buys has much in common with a game he may be confused to what he has bought. The more I think about it the more confusing the term Role Playing Hobby appears. I can see where you are coming from but the changes you have proposed so far wouldnt do anything to increase sales.
