CAR-PGa NEWSLETTER
Vol. 26, No. 1
An international network of researchers into all
aspects of role-playing games

ARTICLES
ANNUAL
REPORT for 2016
from the
Chair, M. Alan Thomas II
Membership
Members: We stand at 18
memberships representing 19 members. This represents a gain of 2 new members
and a loss of none over the course of the year.
Members are encouraged to recruit additional
members. The recently-revised membership form is available at http://www.car-pga.org/CAR-PGa/MembershipForm and all members are
encouraged to send it to me so we have up-to-date information.
Activity/Points: Points were awarded
this year under the rules laid down by Paul as best I understood them, plus
additional points as I considered necessary and reasonable. Additionally, due
to the changes in the Newsletter (below), all members are currently receiving 1
point for having a Newsletter subscription. Due to these changes, 12
memberships (13 members) are considered Active. On the flip side, 4 members
were at some point in the year subsisting entirely on points from subscribing
to the Newsletter and/or being on the Board.
After observing the operations of the points
system for a year, I intend to propose revisions to the current system. Please
send me any input you have on this.
Leadership
Chair: I have now completed
one year as Chair. I surveyed what the members wanted, and as it did not match
my platform (reform or die) and my major referenda were mostly defeated. I
therefore intend to make some basic governance reforms to aid my successor and
then resign. It is not my intention to serve more than one more year.
Board: Jenny Hein (Region 6,
Australia) and Omar G. L. Diniz (Region 8, Latin America and Caribbean),
neither of whom had contributed anything in the past year and were Inactive,
resigned from the Board due to lack of time, lack of anything to contribute,
and pressure from myself to eliminate non-contributing members from the Board.
I have thanked them both for their past service and credited their activity
points for the Board to their date of resignation. Ronald Pehr (Region 3)
refused to resign under the same circumstances, although there is a member
willing and able to take over for him in his Region.
In happier news, one of our new members, Bob
Bledsaw II, has achieved Active status and has agreed to assume the seat I
vacated upon my election to Chair (Region 2).
A number of members have agreed that a
region-based Board is no longer a useful mechanism and that Board seats should
become at-large. This is being considered.
Elections: Any position may be
challenged at any time. However, it is traditional to call for opposition in
the Annual Report, so here it is: This is the standard notice that anyone
wanting to contest an office should state their platform now. Voting is by the
Instant Runoff Voting system - vote for first, second, third, etc. choice, as
far down as you wish (or candidates exist), and the lowest vote is dropped with
the rest of those votes redistributed until someone gets a majority. This
involves not only the Chair but the Board.
I will note that, if basic governance reforms
are completed this year, I will step down and the Board will also become vacant
to allow for at-large elections. If you would like to help design these
reforms, you don’t need any more office than being a member; just let me know!
Newsletter
Changes: Since the beginning of
this year, the Editor has been David Millians. As might be expected, there were
some growing pains during the transition, but all has been well since then. At
David’s suggestion, the Newsletter
has become free. As a result, all members were automatically subscribed to help
keep them informed. In addition, we have 3 non-member subscribers. They are
welcome to join CAR-PGa at any time by sending in the membership form.
Convention Calendar: The convention
calendar is a major part of the Newsletter. It is probably the most
comprehensive in the industry, but it is still far from complete. We need
members to submit to the Editor any conventions they know of, preferably in our
usual format: dates, name, specific location, website, and a point of contact
with email address or similar. However, we will accept information in any form,
fliers for the cons and online lists being the most common.
Due to the increased interest in preventing
harassment at conventions, and the widespread adoption of the Scalzi Convention Policy in the 3.5 years since
it was formulated, anyone submitting a convention is also asked to submit a
link to its harassment policy, if known, and especially to report if it is ever
shown to be unenforced.
Archive
Current Status: A variety of articles
and announcements of varying relevance were added to the Archive this year, as
always. However, there were no copy requests for items from the Archive. The membership has made it clear to me that this
is a valuable resource, so I would encourage them to use it more. Please note
that use is not restricted to members; if you know someone conducting relevant
research who would like access to our archives, that is entirely possible!
Future Actions: The Archivist remains
Paul Cardwell. The members narrowly voted to see about donating the Archive to
an institution willing and able to care for it. After some consultation, I
intend to see if an institution would be willing to digitize the archive and
take a digital copy which they could then make more easily findable by
scholars.
Issues
Attacks: There was one known
attack on RPGs this year, a rehash of old talking points by Pat Robertson on
the 700 Club. We have no reason to
think that anyone other than regular viewers of that show took it seriously
(or, for the most part, even know of its existence), no way of directing a
response to them, and no interest in drawing a quiescent public’s attention to
Robertson’s views.
Harassment: A variety of pieces
describing continued sexism and harassment in the RPG community, especially at
conventions, drew some attention this year but no responses from CAR-PGa
members. Gender equity among gamers has been a longtime interest of CAR-PGa,
and there is work yet to be done on this front. For example, see the final
paragraph of the Newsletter section,
above.
Finances
Current: The Treasurer remains
Paul Cardwell. After consulting with him, it is my understanding that there was
no income or expenses this year; therefore the numbers from last January remain
unchanged. The costs of the one or two snail-mail subscriptions to the Newsletter are being absorbed by David’s
employer. The costs of my sending everyone with not one but two snail-mail
surveys I am absorbing myself. There were no copy requests from the Archive
this year.
Future: There is, however, an
anticipated future expense: By longstanding arrangement, whenever Paul replaces
machinery that he has used to produce copies of the Newsletter, to print out
copies of internet resources for the Archive, and to fulfill copy requests,
CAR-PGa contributes a pro-rated sum to represent our share of the use of that
machinery. One such expense is coming up. We have sufficient funds to cover it
at this time, but it is worth noting that we will, in the very long-term (i.e.,
post-2017), need to raise additional funds at some point.
QUESTIONNAIRE
RESPONSE
by Paul
Cardwell, Jr.
Are
there new materials you think are outside our meaningful purview?
We have traditionally
had a two tier scope of official interest. On the top level, we have covered
anything of more than passing interest in the field role-playing games - which
includes LARP, since they also lack a script, are improvised, and represent individual
characters with known characteristics (at least to their players) and
documented on some sort of character sheet. The documentation of these are
placed in the archives in a retrievable form.
The second tier is
composed of material on board games, video, puzzles, film, and such, which may
influence RPG by means of innovation or public opinion. These are what
librarians call vertical files - generally clippings or recordings - which are
sorted by subject, but not individually cataloged, although you are including
them in the New Material section of the Newsletter; excellent, as long as I get
a copy to file.
Are there important aspects of our work that never
seem to have new materials?
Many
subjects lack adequate material, but the only one lacking recent material,
thankfully, are appellate court transcripts, mainly because our games are not
being attacked to the degree that would produce such documents. Also responses
to the RPG as academic subject survey, as most institutions now permit this
(even if I was denied that for a thesis back when it would have been somewhat
cutting edge).

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
