The thing...I have run plenty of demos in my time. <br />The thing about running a demo game is if you are good then the players will want to go out buy that game. If I do it in a game store (my prefered place to run demos) then I like to take them to the product.<br /><br />The problem with the OSR is that often the product is not there. I have taken books before and sold them at cost, but I am not a retailer so it's an as-needed/as-I-think of it thing.<br /><br />I suppose what would be nice is if had permission to redistribute the free OSR books on a CD. Maybe build some nice interface and have the PDFs.<br /><br />Pop in the CD-ROM and it runs on any machine. <br /><br />Hmm. That sounds like an idea.<br /><br />BTW, TARGA for intents and purposes is dead.Timothy S.

I agree with your premise that we need to recruit or the hobby will die with us and that notion grieves me (honestly!). My son's friends currently game with us and I hope that each may go on to be the DM of their own group. There are few if any adult players round my way (and in response to Joe D, I did try TARGA but it seems predominantly US-based - I'm in England - so that was a non-starter for me).<br /><br />Daddy Grognardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559857164172090739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096473056453931834.post-62527919860088696562013-05-30T20:09:36.049-04:002013-05-30T20:09:36.049-04:00dude, google TARGAdude, google TARGAJoethelawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00380090049725742287noreply@blogger.com
