[QUOTE="aarduini, post: 6810957, member: 61920"] Hello, I've been very critical of the AL admins way of doing things. I find a lot of people agree with me and others don't, and then there are those that just want to be contrary. I'm going to express my reasons in a different way by comparing my experience with both RPGA systems. 4th LFR - LFR had its issues its true, but I felt the RPGA was run rather well. The region for LFR constituted the whole of the FR. Each region had its own flavor and its own story arcs. Each month mods were published for multiple regions. I'm a big fan of lore. I had characters that were customized for the region and had very flavorful backgrounds based on the lore. Modules often gave out favors or story awards that would build on each other. If i did enough adventuring in one region I would eventually get titles or other boons. I could have a character that was a knight in one region or a lord in another. Content was unrestricted. While this was a problem with the game because of the lack of content editing by Wizards, I was able to partake in the cool flavorful character concepts that were published. We were able to fill the gaps in mods by creating our own adventures. One of our DMs made a full campaign that was LFR legal just by combining my realms and published mods. It was very immersive and very fun. Story ARCs were capped at conventions with battle interactive. The regional story arcs usually finished with a large scale battle interactive involving 6-12 tables, and they were playable at the [B]LOCAL [/B]cons. They were very immersive, very well run and extremely fun. They usually involved some con only certs as well. Since these are long posts. I will do AL on another posts. [/QUOTE]
