[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 2804996, member: 426"] I have also run events at gamedays, and a table at the Worldwide D&D Gameday. I think that in large part the health of the hobby depends on us. Companies like WotC will market their products and may provide some level of promotion. However, I believe it is probably the current generation of players that will recruit the next generation of players. Can companies do more to support the growth of the hobby? Yes, I think they can. However, part of that will always be up to us. The RPGA, for example, depends heavily on its volunteers for its various campaigns. If the number of RPG players grow, we should also see some attendant growth in the market. I would like to see more products that make it easy for new people to get into gaming. (Perhaps one thing that can be done is to make it as easy as possible for a group of players to transition from the D&D Basic Game to the core rules.) Possibly, GAMA or another group might be willing to work with current RPG players on recruiting people to the hobby. We should try to get a larger, positive public presence. [/QUOTE]
