[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5033811, member: 807"] it was a fun watch. if the goal was to get people interested, i have to agree that the costume may have hurt more than helped only as it may get people think of it as a barrier to entry in to the hobby (you have to be in to dressing up - which is fine in it's own, but it's not a requirement to play d&d and not everyone would necessarily be in to it). plus, if you've -never- heard of RPGs before, and someone in a costume standing next to a sign that says "the [i]Dungeon Master[/i] wants you" asking you if you want to "role-play" might be taken in a sexual context. if the goal was to have fun yourself and for people watching, then, the costume was a good touch. overall, as said, it was a fun watch. :) if only there was a documentry of your journy across the US setting up D&D tables in a variety of towns.... :P (warning: don't actually do this, some places are less forgiving than SF to trying new things, so it would be a little boring in some spots) [/QUOTE]
