They already know what old-school games are and where to go to play them, right? They've been rolling with the same group since 1731 and aren't interested in meeting new faces, that's cool! They don't need TARGA. <br /><br />I handed out 45 TARGA flyers to people at the Arneson gameday this Saturday; that's more people right there than I interact with in my online bubble. Lots of these folks hadn't played anything older than WotC editions before; one guy in my game hadn't played a tabletop RPG before! (He got interested in D&D from the Robot Chicken and Penny Arcade podcasts. I asked him how playing Blackmoor Dungeon with '71-'73 era rules was different and he said "There were so many more corridors than I expected.")<br /><br />These are the people who need TARGA. As a regional coordinator I don't need to preach to the blogosphere, I don't need to teach OSR doctrine to anyone; I just need to get people going "Hey, that last event that I did that was so different from anything else I see in the RPGA or meetup.com or convention scene? That was a TARGA thing and I want more of whatever it was."<br /><br />(Oh: and there's an Ikea in Espoo? Why was I not informed of this?)<br /><br />- TavisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670029344758253148.post-47204525091020134462010-03-30T00:13:21.553+03:002010-03-30T00:13:21.553+03:00I pride myself in dressing as I am: a grungy, guit...I pride myself in dressing as I am: a grungy, guitar playing, classic D&D enthusiast weirdo. Because that's what Florida born & bred weirdos dress like: Flannel's, Jeans, T-Shirt's, & work boots - even if it's 90* outside with 85% humidity. Hey, it's better than getting eaten alive by mosquitoes the size of dachshunds.
