I am trying to build some interest in Pathfinder Society here in Cincinnati. Currently we have only a dozen or more in our stable of players. I've created a regular game night at two of our local game shops and advertised them too. It just isn't getting any bites. Putting up the flier posted on the Pathfinder Society page for two weeks at a game shop didn't get any results this weekend. I want to try something new. The shop is nice enough to even move some blister packed metal figures over to put up the fliers over the Pathfinder book section. My idea is to make a flier that hangs under the miniatures that those interested can take home and follow through. Can everyone take a look at my idea and let me know what you would change? Also is there any legal copy that needs to be on this or changes that need to be made to keep the lawyers happy? Cincinnati's flier idea

Dude! That looks awesome! (I'd actually put "D&D" on there... it's a flyer. It's like the NFL saying no one else can use the word Super Bowl, but in everyday life we all use it.)

Looks good, Russ! And it's given me an idea ... sprints off to the laboratory

mmmm just looking at it, as a professional photographer for 15 years and graphic designer, my critique should mean something. Okay, here we go... LOOKS AWESOME DUDE! great idea and is succinct gives the necessary info quick and clear. It is obviously targeted at a specific audience. Yeah dude, it rocks. Quick question, do you have to cut out the shape, do you have some hangers in that shape already, or just go rectangle and not worry about the curved shape at the bottom. Honestly a rectangle shape with empty white space is a nice place to let them jot down a note or idea or question.

I'll be cutting them out. Pretty good at that after making comps for so many years. Thought I could put information on the back on specific days. Maybe I should make a blank line on it for that. hmmmm

Any chance I can talk you into letting me use this with different contact information for my recurring game day near Detroit?
