[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 2804922, member: 10479"] It isn't. Unless you (in its general sense) want to see it grow. Having expectations about the future of the hobby brings with it some burden of the responsibility. And, please note, I am not discussing the market. I am discussing the hobby. Someone like diaglo, for instance, might be perfectly happy with a bunch of new gamers who only play original edition D&D, and that just fine, but if he had expectations that there should be more OD&D players in the world he should also expect to help bring about that result. If it is in someone's power to help bring about a result that they personally advocate but they do not take an active part in bringing about that result, I feel they need to chastise themself before they complain about the lack of effort from others, no matter if those others are individuals or organizations. Of course, people should feel free to complain but keep yourself at the top of the list if it is a place you rightfully hold. As far as the actual market, I think if the hobby grows the market will naturally follow. [/QUOTE]
