[QUOTE="Ankh-Morpork Guard, post: 2019104, member: 10079"] It was a fad. How does that help the game at all? Honestly, its a good idea, but I don't see anything wrong with how we bring players in now. Word of mouth...general interest by some random person that walks into a store and wonders what that D&D book is. They DO work. If you want proof, go to the WotC messageboards and look at how many new, young players are coming into the game. The new players to bring in ARE the kids. Those ones that we always complain about. And they get into the game just fine at the moment. It only takes one person in a group of friends at a high school or a junior high school to get three or even ten new players at a time...then it spreads. I've seen it first hand. Heck, I graduated from High School last year and saw this very thing happening. I've directly brought at least twenty people into the game, and indirectly(through them bringing in players) at least three times that many. And I didn't spend a dime other than on my own books. What's that say? :) [/QUOTE]
