[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4364646, member: 48965"] Where do I live...Chicago. I'm a black male with a college degree in computer science, who grew up in the South Shore neighborhood. Was it easy, nope... did I do it, yep because it was what I wanted (and guess what... I wasn't the only black to do this.). And yes I am all for affirmative action as well. As far as the things you suggest above, "Language that appeals to people without a college education", (Why? If anything D&D expanded my vocabulary when I was younger.) "discount on the books", (You make a choice, I gave up certain things when I was younger so I could scrape together the money to buy my books. The question is how to make this more appealing than xbox 360 or PS3 games?) "Splat Books every month" (Now I make nice money, but even I find no need to purchase every splatbook, mini, dungeon tile or anything else WotC chooses to put out. I make choices on what I want based within how much money I can afford to spend.) It seems your suggestions, IMHO, do more to cater to negative stereotypes than they do to help promote the game to non-white's. I don't get the impression Monte Cook is trying to portray himself as "Malcolm X". He was on the creative team and there are only so many and then only particular things which they can do in order to promote diversity. Everything you list above, except using dumber language, isn't something the creative team has any control over. [/QUOTE]
