Making table-top RPG's appealing to a new generation (Part 5)


Share the game!
At the beginning of the week, I mistakenly conveyed the notion that I thought table-top RPG's are dying out. Many table-top RPG's are doing extremely well, and predicted trends have been proven wrong—the expectation that most RPG's will move to digital-only has yet to occur, as beautiful, expensive, artistic game books have seen an impressive upsurge in production quality and sales. Yet there is always room for more to enter this hobby, and game stores (where the table-top gamers frequent) are only the beginning to spreading the word. Talk to gamers in other environments about table-top RPG's: use social media, talk to video gamers in person or online, talk to people at conventions (anime, sci-fi, etc.), get involved through meet-up groups online, jump into various forums, or just do it the old-fashioned way: invite a few people over for an afternoon and introduce them to your favorite table-top RPG. I'll be back at the Farpoint convention this year, today through the weekend, and am excited to meet new people and introduce them to Solar Echoes. If you haven't tried it and are interested, it would be great to see you there, as we'll be running games all weekend. Thanks for your support and interest in Solar Echoes!
