[Design] Did someone mention marketing?

[Andrew Leitch]

What would be neat would be showing the same group evolving over a ten year period. 
   
  Watch the group change as guys get girlfriends who don't roleplay and drop out. Watch as the formerly good looking players lose their hair and put on 20-40kg from a diet of beer, softdrink and chips.
  Watch as the players either fail to finish their first degree or they keep putting new degrees under their belts and never leave university for the real world. :)

    Yeah - but they should be appealing to NEW players.  And most new players come from highschool.  But definitely way too good looking - and disturbingly healthy&fit.

The maps should be hastily drawn on scraps of paper - not "official products"...
And there are way too few dice lieing around the place...

      The host must be an accountant or something and get in someone once a week to do cleaning, that flat's too clean for a geek. Of course, it's possible he just moved out of home and set his place up, that's why they're gaming there, he's the only one who doesn't live in his parents' basement. This is his first night in the place, the game's his housewarming party! 
      That's an awesome advert, though. That's exactly what games are like:)

  Two things-
The guys are too old to be typical players.
Where are the girls?

On a side note - Where's the Mountain Dew?  I attack the Darkness with Magic Missile!  I've got a +5 dagger vs Ogres before I go to the bar, get drunk and if there are any girls there - I want to DO THEM!
