[QUOTE="Belen, post: 2484171, member: 1405"] I think you're misunderstanding my dislike of some of the current rules and my support of older versions for a dislike of d20. I love d20. However, I do think it goes a bit too far in removing the DM from the equation and enhancing the tactical side combat. Also, passionate discourse on ENWorld does not necessarily mean that I run around decrying a game that I love to the world at large. I see ENWorld discussions as similiar to literary critiques. I can still be critical of a novel and enjoy it. ;) Finally, I love teaching new people how to play. There is a spark in their eyes that you do not find in the veterans and it helps freshen up the game. I ran a demo a few months ago and threw a zombie at a party of 3rd level characters and it was fun to watch this one kid have his character run away. Apparently, he was a big fan of resident evil. The delegate program is great, but I am not sure how effective it is for D&D. As a delegate, we're supposed to support a lot of games (Avalon Hill, DDM, SWM, MtG, Kids Next Door, Hectomb, MLB, Neopets.) From what I have seen, a lot of delegates demo to their strengths, thus, if they love MtG, then they support it. I love D&D, so I support it. I do not think word-of-mouth is that effective these days either. Maybe if they cross-marketed with the video games, such as ads for the tabletop in the box, or a intro movie on the game dedicated to the tabletop, then word-of-mouth would be enough, but I do think they need to go farther with D&D marketing. So, until then, I do what I can to recruit new players and I hope that you all do the same. (PS: The next Worldwide D&D Game Day is scheduled for Saturday, November 5, 2005. Please support it!)
