considering that to get to that point, the player had to DM several games, providing a game for 3+ players each time, they've earned being that well off. If the other player feel outclassed, they can DM a few games, lots of venues are in need of more DMs.

Are you seriously equating a racist slur to house color? The context is there, no matter how much you want to shove your head in the sand about that context. "Well, I'm only being an :):):):):):):) towards like 5 people", you are STILL being an :):):):):):):). WHY are you in this board, still...

actually, the opposite is true. Just because we've ignored a context for decades doesn't mean that context is no longer there, it IS. "Everything is offensive, therefore nothing is offensive" is not a valid defense. Particularly when a group, in this case Adventurers League, is actively trying...

Gypsy is very much considered a perjorative by many Romani, the people it is used against. Just because the US doesn't have the same historical context as Europe for the word, doesn't mean we get to ignore that context. Just because one person of that descent doesn't find it insulting doesn't...

as long as the familiar is a valid type, I don't get why a DM, especially one running organized play, would nitpick something like this. Particularly the not letting a familiar carry over from a previous session. You're not supposed to be casting the spell constantly, you cast it once, until you...

why should a character have to go through the first adventure without a significant class feature? I say let the PC start with the familiar

DDEP4 is also confirmed for Emerald City ComicCon in Seattle, April7-10.

It's not a situation of turning down an offer. It's more that they are wanting convention organizers to pay the costs of bringing an Admin in to their event. By providing the admins with enough content, they are encouraging organizers to take the costs on themselves.

Unearthed Arcana material is essentially playtest ideas. At best, once they get feedback about a particular article, if they like the feedback, expect a good amount of internal playtesting THEN look for a product to include the feature. Again, that's best case scenario.

most of the conventions in the PNW area don't charge for gaming activity, especially the smaller cons. As far as con entrance fees, those typically go for operating cots of the con itself. Unless you can demonstrably prove that your gaming brings a significant number of pass sales, you aren't...

it can make sense. Free for stores and conventions and such, as part of organized play. Or, you can buy it for home play, not necessarily as part of AL.

I hope it's either past seasons become available on DM Guild, while the current season is still available for free at dndadventurersleague.org/, or stores organizers, and RCs/LCs get a freebie code at DM Guild. The later might make things easier to manage from the admin side. it could also kind...

for a beginner, using the standard array[15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8] would probably be best(put the 15 in DEX[use with finesse weapons and ranged weapons], 14 in WIS[for spellcasting], play with the rest). Since you have to start at 0xp, and can rebuild your character anytime up to level 5, you can...

it's not so much wanting to avoid becoming "AL rules police" as not having the authority to do so, if we wanted to. We can remind DMs about certain rules, other than that, we have zero authority to impart any kind of penalty. If a DM, allows stuff that is illegal, we can tell the store, or the...

your PM indicates that you are in the Puget Sound area. I plan on organizing the AL events at ECCC and Pax West in 2016. I'm hoping to get an Epic at at least one of those. Maybe even and Admin for one of these exclusive adventures. I want to publicly say that "people like you" will be fully...
