[QUOTE="Tyranthraxus, post: 6770819, member: 13335"] I guess my issue here being I would prefer some sort of scheme that covers the most people at the start, not a scheme that starts with 6 and *MAY* (or MAY NOT) Possibly get bigger. But in context of your actual question. Would I consider it automatically bad? I would. If less people can play it than those that could play it, I consider it automatically bad. If it came a point where more than half the number of AL players could play than could not, then it would be automatically good. At this point I can say Im really saying this for my players.. I very rarely get to play any AL. I run encounters and run expeditions out of 2 different stores.. but Im always the DM. I want them to have every opportunity to play anything that is produced by you guys.. not wanting them to tap up online and find out that they cannot because an Admin isnt local or an RC. I already have had people ask me about Epics and their playability outside of the really big conventions. *************** Lets look at it hypothetically however taking in some variation. 6 Admins move out across the mainland US and run games at various stores and conventions of their own written scenarios. THen lets say in a Years time, the RCs as they are are allowed to do the same thing. There are more RC's than there are Admins (lets say they are allowed to run both the Admins scenarios and their own scenarios). THis again shows the tyranny of Distance. We have Martin T in the UK as the RC there, however I believe his purview is Europe. Thats a LOT of people spread over a big area. So he creates a scenario which he can run locally and is up to going to conventions around the place. AL might not be big at any one particular convention which means the player pool needed to generate enough $ to bring him over wont be there either... and add in the large distances there.. well the price is more than significant. Logically this would mean to me that we would need even more RC's in Non America mainland regions. Say one for France or one for Malaysia and so on. Then is there a demand on RC's to not only organise their region but also to produce Scenarios? What happens if one is a great organiser but a brutally bad Writer? Does that region they govern miss out on the RC produced scenario? Finally Id like to state Im perfectly happy with the amount of content currently being Produced. I have more than enough to run, I have enough people at my tables to deliver a good game and I like where the campaign is going storywise (although I do wish things like the Cloak advancement wasnt curtailed to currently one season). I am worried that the campaign staff are paying way too much attention to the guy gaming 4 nights a week and all day Saturday and consider him reflective of the average AL gamer. [/QUOTE]
