Gee, sorry. I didn't realize I would start a Weirdwolf uprising by posting what I thought might be useful information to some of the members. Won't happen again. Simply seems $40 for a professional logo was a pretty good deal. Are MCFA members required to use Weirdwolf? I'm not sure why I was dogpiled on like I issued a personal challenge to someone's territory. Let me be frank. I'm quickly beginning to learn that many of this forum's members aren't so much interested in new ideas or fresh view points as much asthey are concerned with reinforcing the status quo. This is an old song and dance I've seen with hard core historical gamers in my wargaming hobby. . . and ironically their intense love (and degree of elitism) is what has slowly killed their hobby over the last 25 years. The same guys keep showing up at the cons with no new blood. This may be hard to see since you are so close to your hobby, but as an outsider looking in, there is a sense of exclusivity with glaringly obvious cliques that exist.

What blows me away is that I have offered free space at my game convention that I pay out of my own pocket to help promote the EF hobby, and I barely had any interest at all. And I know EF is probably as big if not bigger in TX than any other state. This statment is clearly not directed at the fine gentlemen who did an outstanding job demonstrating the Shootout Rules at the last G3 con. So after a couple of months of observation and itneraction, is the MCFA here to grow the hobby or is it simply a gentelmen's or good ol' boys club?

Rant over.
