Saw this post by Gary Gygax over at Enworld. Since it deals with the subject matter that this blog is all about, I wanted to share it.
Gary's Post:
The only effective means of actually bringing significant numbers of new participants to the RPG hobby is by an extensive campaign of advertising a simple starter RPG at a reasonable price.
Anything else is basically fighting over existing perticipants, and old-timers teaching their children to game.
My Comments:
This is why Gary is the man when it comes to RPG's. Well, there are several reasons, but the whole notion of a Basic Game to teach newcomers comes from him. I posted not that long ago that Troll Lord Games, makers of the Castles & Crusades game, are doing a Basic Game that is said to be in the style of the old Red Box game. Also, Gary has done quite a bit of work for the Troll Lords.
Work on Heroes of the Dungeon Crawl will continue. That test session may happen soon, I hope.
