I
Access to certs to hand to players. It's the main reason I'm involved with a store for conventions. Having certs for players at a convention is awesome!
- More early access, in digital form would be fine, preferred even. Exclusive early access based on how many games I've run would be enticing.
- Content for players at my table that I've earned by running games.
- Content for DM's that run at events I organize.
- Digital access to maps for the events formatted for easy large, minis scale, printing. This would be amazing and save me a TON of time.
- Access to buy exclusive items, like special t-shirts and miniatures and printed content would be very cool.
- I'd love it if things like signed books could be sold to DMs and organizers.
- The ability to run a custom mods, given certain strictures, and only available to the best DMs, and maybe subject to approval?
- Discounts to conventions. I would go to many more regional ones or big ones if I could earn some sort of up front discount. And I'd do nothing but run games!
- A common place for DMs to discuss things and organize amongst themselves. There are a lot of local DMs that run encounters, but so do I, so going around on Wednesday nights to say hello is difficult.
- A spelled out way to earn special events and visits by the trading post and other WotC employee's and AL staff.
A lot of these are interesting (and some might be things we are already considering, but let me address a few of them.
Early access: This would assume that the files are ready much earlier than they likely are (as we edit and playtest pretty much until they are released, and in fact sometimes edit after the premier if things are noticed and we have time. This means that in order to do this, we would have to push premier and release dates back further, so I'm not sure that it is a likely choice.
Your own content: This has been talked about and we're starting by having special content for the Admins (with the thought that if it goes well, we might look at expanding to the RCs and then who knows). If we come up with a DM ranking system somehow, you might even someday see an adventure that only DMs who run a lot are allowed to run.
Maps: Most of the maps are hand drawn by our main editor (Travis). I'm not sure how easily it would be to format them for largescale printing.
Exclusive items for purchase: Under discussion
Signed Items: The AL doesn't have access to the book authors, but we do have the Expeditions/Epic authors? Would you still want it if it was those people?
Con discounts: The AL doesn't control cons, so there is no way for us to get you a discount other than paying for your badge out of non-existent budget. Fortunately most conventions give you free badges (and often even rooms) if you run events for their conventions, so that might be something you can get without our help.
Place to chat: So many social media options here
Special events for you: Actually this already exists. WOTC staff and AL Staff do travel to conventions and bring the trading post and some times special adventure previews as well. You just have to invite them (note that it also assumes your convention pays for their travel costs).
