Ok, so I normally post "in character" (it's fun^^) but I gotta be OOC on this one. Wow thats a sweet screen. I have worked at my FLGS for 14 (wow) years now, and when I started we sold just as much Shadowrun product as D&D. In recent years though I have seen a steep decline in sales and intrest in one of my "holy trinity of RPG" systems. I have looked over the demo team app and would really love to join, and run all the missions. However in my area Boise ID, even te Pathfinder rep has only managed to get enough members to run around three sessions. I guess I need advice here. How do you get intrest in your local area? I plan on posting fliers in-store for the first event Friday (even though I'm not yet a demo team member, my store sponcers lots of gaming events so the store will pay staff to run non-sanctioned events) these will be posted at least 1 month in advance of the event as per store event policy. (I would do it on Thursday, but IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!)
Maybe it's just the area I live in, but it seems that if it's not Magic, or war machine or warhammer, we have a hard time getting people involved.... <mutters about these fragging kids and their nintendos>
Sorry for the wall of text here, I'm just really at a loss.
Thanks Chummers!
