One thing that would have to happen to help expand the game is getting the Out of Print or Sold Out sets back into circulation. I know a few people who I've shown the game to and haven't purchased anything because multiple set are discontinued.

Not sure if you have done it? Sell the games at Indie wrestling shows were 1-2 wrestlers are on the show. Okay I know (or guessing) WWE and probably AEW would not let you. Social media Filsingergames Facebook & Twitter has been pretty quiet dead for a while now.

Social media Filsingergames Facebook & Twitter has been pretty quiet dead for a while now. One thing TNA does better than any other company is being ready when one of their former stars wins a title in another company. They're right there with a post featuring a match with that wrestler or something. 80's/ Modern Mania is pretty good about this too. Whenever there is a PPV they're always jumping on the hashtag. Filsinger could do this as well. All In is going on, queue up the art work for Brian Danielson and Swerve Strickland and let fans on social media know they can play out the match themselves at home and online. |

No kidding..I'd do it for free, but I'd love to be handed the keys to the official Filsinger games social media accounts. |

The TNA approach is absolutely a route I think should be looked at. You don't need to go overboard with it, but capitalising on the buzz online would potentially bring more eyes to the game. The tag team set didn't really go on social media, but there was Backseat Boyz fans on Johnny Kashmere's page wanting to know where to purchase the set |

Right now social media is definitely the way to appeal to a younger audience. Can't rely on the old ways and old buyers forever.

There's the Pittsburgh Comic Con and Mid-Winter in Milwaukee in January, MotorCity Comic Con, just to name a few. The game sold sets when it was doing the convention booth scene, and there's promoters scattered all across the country that could help run booths at a plethora of different events.. I'm not sure how hard San Diego Comic Con would be to get a booth at but if there's anyone that could do it, it's throwingtoasters .  I'm not even sure how you would market on social media, solicite on other sites? You have your own website, FB page, Pro board and Discord group but how do you direct random potential players to your sites? PWI adds were a GREAT way to advertise but sadly magazines are going the way of the dinosaurs. Indie shows is a good way to sell the Indy line, and maybe get eyes on the GWF and LOW. IMO, you still need to get out there and SHOW people the game. I have never shown a single person the game that didn't like it but getting them to follow up on the website is a different story. I only have my cards and nothing to sell them. |

Of course you also need to show the game.
I do go to Gen Con every year...I'd be more than willing to advertise the game there.

I only have my cards and nothing to sell them. , you know I would volunteer to go to Milwaukee to sell the game. As you mentioned PWI, I wonder about looking into ads on TNTHOFer and board of director's member Conrad Thompson's podcasts. They get a ton of ears in the demographics and he has pods with Mick Foley, Jeff Jarrett, Arn Anderson, and others. We could also try to advertise with Stories with Brisco & Bradshaw. I don't know how much it costs, but I bet the return on investment would be HUGE. |

That is going to change very soon.
