Come on everybody! We need new blood! (And I don't mean it in the vampiric sense)

I've seen the ad, but let's see how much they are actually going to make it "worldwide"

What I wonder is do you have to have an RPGA "presence" to get the modules and freebies. I would be happyto run them in my local store but I have no interest in the RPGA.

Well I hope it is worldwide, and folks come together to try and bring new ppl in. It's easy to be cynical about it, but I think the hobby isn't attracting enough new blood, which is worrying.

I do hope this does pull in new players. Most game stores in London wouldn't have space to do anything on site, but probably the traditional british solution can be used - down the pub!

I wish they had info on their site for game stores who want to be involved. I asked one of the local stores if they were going to participate, but they hadn't heard anything about it. While I was able to give them a printout of that web page it didn't really tell them what they needed to do as a store to host it.

On the plus side, the postponement to October 16th increases the chances that the RPGA will process my Herald test results in time for me to sign up to DM for this thing somewhere.
