In fact I hope to make it to Charlotte next season, see what Delhomme will be like this time around. He's been getting better and better. But I digress - I still think that there is a huge number of players-to-be that may never have a chance to learn the game because it just happens that noone around them has it. That's the problem with word of mouth - it can't reach everybody like TV can. There are plenty of small towns completely devoid of veteran players or gaming stores (like mine), but chuck full of kids with spare time and nothing better to do than get into trouble. And I'd be willing to bet my first edition oriental adventures that a big chunk of these same kids would get a kick out of D&D if they even knew it existed or what it was about. The majority of players that I brought into the fold either didn't know what D&D was altogether, or didn't know what it was about, just heard the name. That ol' timey commercial from the early 80s did show gamers around the table, but the cartoon part of it gave a sense of how exciting it could be. Hell, buy that from TSR and air it and I'd be happy :\</blockquote>
