ARTICLES
An Editorial with Questions
By David Millians
While this newsletter is always
looking for articles to place in this lead section of the publication, I am
always receiving, unasked but encouraged, new material. For examples this
issue, see below. Hawke Robinson and John Boardman are particularly prolific
this month, but both our former chairman and new chairman regularly have
material to share.
My question here is, What counts as
new material for CAR-PGa? What is valid and valuable to our membership and readership?
In any given month, new materials may range from gaming tips to social issues
within and around the hobby to topics in popular media, like Game of Thrones
and Pokémon Go. Anyone can send materials directly to Paul for him to archive,
but as the editor of this newsletter, I believe I can act as a filter for what
is included and what is not. I think I have a liberal, even expansive, sense of
what could be useful and usable, and so far, I’ve included everything I’ve been
sent, but I wonder what the recipients think of this.
Are
there new materials you think are outside our meaningful purview?
Are
there important aspects of our work that never seem to have new materials?
I
am interested to hear what you think, and such comments could form an
interesting future discussion in this newsletter. They would also inform your
editor’s work.
I encourage everyone to send
anything to me that you think may be applicable to what some or all of us do in
our advocacy work, and, as always, it’s good work for the cause to send your
thoughts in an article or essay format.
Thanks!
David

CALENDAR
New
listings this month were provided by Paul Cardwell, others are urged to submit
information. If you attend a convention, be sure and check the conventions
table and let us have a copy of the fliers (or at very least the when, what,
where, and contact information) for upcoming conventions available there.
CAR-PGa is international, so this includes anywhere in the world.
Dates,
precise venue, contacts' URLs or phone numbers, and other information, where
missing from this list, would be particularly appreciated.
"[LARP]"
means only LARP events as many RPG cons include at least some LARP, as likewise
applies to the mention of specific game systems. The same bracketed information
applies as well to game systems when the con will have only those games
present.
In
an attempt to get more face-to-face meetings of the membership, we list who
will be going to what convention, if they will tell us. Get this type of
information in at least two months before the convention itself, so we can run
it at least once. Support your local cons by helping in the staff. It is a good
way to promote RPG and you generally get in free for the brief time spent
helping.
A
review of any attended convention afterwards for the Newsletter would be
appreciated too. These reviews should include demographic data such as
attendance, percentage male/female, white/ethnic minorities (or what- ever is
the majority/white/others), games in addition to tabletop RPG, and more
subjective matters such as unusual events, quality of games and dealers' room,
encouragement of new gamers, and whatever seems worth reporting. We need to
work to restore CAR-PGa's reputation as the media's go-to on gamer
demographics, especially since the media are still citing a study that cut off
all those over 35 - at a time when that was the median age of gamers - it is
closer to 40 now - which indicates we also need to work on recruiting younger
players, although some increase in college age players at conventions has been
noted.
Conventions
are currently being compiled by archivist Paul Cardwell, 1127 Cedar, Bonham, TX
75418 or plcardwell@gmail.com, so send them there.
