Hi Dark, Point well taken. I am sure a general pamphlet explaining to people what audio games are and where to find more about them such as audiogames.net should not be too offensive to anyone.
I guess what I was thinking was a more direct form of advertising such as having a few games installed on their computers in their computer labs or in a req area where people could try the games at their leisure. That of course would involve games that would be okay with the organization and the client which could be troublesome. However, what you are proposing such as a generalized pamphlet shouldn't be to bad. Cheers!
