[QUOTE="skerritthegreen, post: 6812097, member: 70203"] My response is based on the lack of response to my earlier comments about DDAO adventures. It appeared and perhaps you didn't read them, that you were ignoring my comments in favor of arguing against something that I already stated wasn't true. I think it might be helpful to point out (as I alluded to above), I'm old. I've been around. I worked on the Mark of Heroes campaign when the DM's Mark (the original MyRealms) was invented by Chris Tulach. I was also on the campaign staff of Xen'Drik Expeditions when we refined and continued it. I was also on the campaign staff of LFR when we refined and continued it again. So trust me, I get the point of MyRealms style adventures. I helped invent them. That said, there were imperfections in the systems we previously used but we want to potentially bring them back or maybe have some version of it that serves the old goals and maybe some new ones. So we are trying the DDAO version now (I know this is old hat for those who follow all the postings, but just making sure we're all up to speed). We have a list of goals for AL, and so we need to make sure we meet those goals with any program we put out, and we also want to make sure we learn from the past (all of which I was there for, most of which as an Admin for one campaign or another). Let me say MyRealms were not all sunshine and roses. there were problems and abuses and just letting a local DM do anything they want without any guidance and give out any item they want under a certain rarity is not the solution. It possible there might not be a solution and we won't do any more. For every "MyRealms are the solution to all problems" I also get a "MyRealms are everything that is wrong with the campaign and why no one should every play this." I tend to tune out such absolutes as we try to walk a middle ground that meets the needs of the campaign while added a positive experience for the player base as a whole. [/QUOTE]
