Read an RPG Book in Public Week is here!
I stumbled upon this interesting cause last week in my random internet surfings, and I thought I'd share it with all of y'all. Basically, this is an attempt to raise awareness of role-playing and pulp gaming in general among the general population.
Now I know that many of you probably aren't into RPG's, but why not play along with the spirit of the movement and take along some boardgame rules whereever you go this week to whoop out and read in public. Fly that geek flag a little higher than normal this week, and see if anyone around you salutes!

I've wondered of late if I wore some boardgame related t-shirts around town if I'd pick up any 'I know that game!' responses. Especially living in a fairly rural area I'm always trying to think of ways to find more gamers.

Last fall I actually was reading my new copy of the 49k Imperial Guard codex (I know, it's a wargame, not an RPG) at the Mayflower fish house in Burlington, and my waitress not only knew what 40k was, but used to play Eldar and was looking for a D&D group (she'd just moved into town a few months ago apparently). I actually gave her the name and general directions to Hypermind - I don't know if she ever went over there or not, but I guess the point of the story is that this type of thing actually does work.

Purple Pawn is actually having a contest to support this, and it's got pretty good prizes.
Get someone to take a picture of you reading an RPG book in public, head over there, and enter!
