Surprisingly, a fair number of the people I converse with on a daily basis
about SR (Close to 50, if not more, and this is -chat-, not email), are
white collar, work at a desk job, and do wear at least a shirt with a
collar. It's not just a hobby for college kids and younger anymore.

I'm not saying that something a bit more.. worldy doesn't speak to players
well. I'm saying if you want to give off a professional appearance to alot
of people, something more accessible for the masses is more appropriate.
The hobby needs to grow and *mature* in order to stay viable, and that
includes SRTCG and FASA.
When I introduce a friend to gaming, I want to hold up something that makes
the hobby look good, not something that reads like a 13 year old rapper
wrote it.
