Report on New
Board Meeting
November 2018
By David Millians
Mike
Tresca (chair), Ted Skirvin, and David Millians, all new to the board, met by
Skype this past week to discuss the state of the Committee, its future, and the
best first steps to make going forward. It’s the longest, densest conversation
about CAR-PGa I’ve experienced in a couple of decades, and I’m excited about
the possibilities. This organization has always been about supporting each
other around role-playing games. Since CAR-PGa began we’ve seen changes in the
hobby, its culture, and the wider culture around us, and those of you receiving
this newsletter come to the conversation from many different directions. It’s
my hope that everyone with something to say or share will speak up.
As
we conversed, we began to prioritize the needs of CAR-PGa now and in the
future. As a small, quiet group, we have to think about the many missions that
converge here, and we need to share our ideas and resources with each other and
the wider world.
The
first priority is to get the web site up. The current one is essentially empty,
as much of the old information seems to have been lost from it. It is still
accessible with Archive
(web.archive.org/web/20170711115649/http://www.car-pga.org/). Mike and Alan
Thomas will work on this. The web site needs to host CAR-PGa’s by-laws and
anything else relevant to membership so that becoming a member is something
everyone understands and is distinguished from just receiving the newsletter
each month.
Beyond
bringing the web site back to life, there is question of how best to use the
web site and possibly other platforms – like Facebook, LinkedIn, and others – for
the membership and for those interested in our work or potentially engaged by
it but unaware of its existence. This probably involves maintaining multiple
presences in the digital age, something to be considered and developed down the
road.
David
will be contacting each of you individually to discuss what CAR-PGA does
for you now and what you’d like to see it do in the future. We all know it’s a
good cause, but more is possible. The form that takes depends on us.
We
also plan to approach directly individuals that may overlap with our various
projects and interests. That may simply take the form of sharing the
newsletter, which I know some of you do already, but it could be more. We don’t
want to harass anyone, just bring CAR-PGa to their attention. If you know of
anyone like this, feel free, of course, to reach out on your own and let us
know what’s helpful.
If
you can think of anything you think we should be considering as an organization,
please let us know.
I
look forward to speaking with you all!

CONVENTIONS
New listings this month were provided by Paul Cardwell and Lou Zocchi. 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. If we have missed any, send the information to plcardwell@gmail.com Convention reviews should be sent to millians.david@paideiaschool.org
"[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 whatever 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.
