4e / GSL Living FR adventures - How can I get them?

catsclaw227 · 26th February 2009, 09:24 PM

I am an RPGA member, but I just don't have the time to be involved in organized play.

I would love to be able to DM some of the adventures for a Forgotten Realms home campaign though. Is it possible to get the adventures anywhere?

Maybe WOTC can make them available to DDI subscribers?

Is there another avenue to receive the adventures other than DMing an organized play event?

You can run the LFR games as home games, you just need to take the herald level gm test (fairly easy) and sanction the games as a home game and select the adventure you would like to run.

Awesome. I just took the test, passed and set up an event. I got the two Cormyr adventures.

Is there a master adventure list/description file somewhere? It's a pain to check each one for level and adventure summary individually.

Phaezen is correct. To past the test, all you really need is access to the three core books. You only need to sanction one event. You can then download all the adventures you want after you get access to them!

Living Forgotten Realms Adventures

At the bottom of the page has master lists for each of the current tiers. Most likely you downloaded a Cormyr game for levels 1-4 and then the second one for 4-7.
A lot of answers can be found by searching the www.wizards.com/rpga site =v)

By the looks of it though, by downloading and playing this games, you are being apart of organized play! They sucked you in and you didn't even know it.

With proper planning you can link all these different games up for home play.

Have fun!

Let me put on my LFR Admin hat for a second.

I think everyone has it pretty much covered. You order an event, download the adventures you want to play and run them.

This is one of those things that I don't think many people know and we really have to get the word out for. Organized Play isn't about conventions, traveling or dedicating large amounts of time to the game anymore. It's about being getting together to play D&D.

As long as you start the characters at first level, use the LFR Character Creation Guide rules(which are pretty much "Make a character from the PHB exactly as written with point buy") to make the characters and only play LFR adventures then you ARE playing Organized Play.

It doesn't need to be more complicated than that. In fact, I encourage people to run LFR as a home game. That way you always have the option to play your character at a Convention if you want while having a constant supply of adventures for your home game.

Good Luck and Good Gaming,

If your players want to take their characters to other games you should 'report' the events. You can do so in the same place you registered the event to download the adventures.

If you join the rewards plan for DM's your supposed to earn rewards for running and reporting games.

If you set up an event in one of the other ways other than a 'home' game WotC will list it in their RPGA 'upcoming events' so others can see it and show up to play.

Also the D&Di Character builder will let you build a LFR on any RPGA character and tell you if it is legal or not

do you have to play all in one area/region? or is it okay if your character jumps from location to location if the next adventure happens to be a few cities over?

You can play in all the regions within the rules of LFR. In fact, you kind of have to in order to get to high enough level to play in the 2nd adventure in each region.

The adventures are written assuming you play them in almost any order. Of course, if the disconnect of playing one adventure in Akanul followed by another one in Cormyr with nothing in between is too much for you, you can always modify the adventures in order to provide reasons to travel from place to place. I'm sure you could make a fun campaign out of them.

Thanks for the feedback. This is going to be fun. I think I will string together a campaign of sorts and run it, scoring all PCs accordingly, and we'll be doing organized play from home.
