[QUOTE="Tia Nadiezja, post: 6774320, member: 6778763"] Reducing exclusivity, honestly, is something I like in general, so seeing Fai Chen and special promos show up at the game stores where the vast bulk of actual AL play happens would just utterly delight me. The idea of Epics showing up at more conventions is also delightful - I'm aware that the format for Epics basically mandates convention exclusivity (you're not going to get enough players for one on a standard day at a standard store), so having them show up at more conventions - and smaller conventions - is the best way to make them available to more players. I love the idea of there being more content. I really, [I]really[/I] love it. But once an adventure's written, shouldn't anyone be able to run it? There's four admins. Game stores run on a shoestring budget as-is. More content exclusive to those who can bring in the admins to run it seems to me like making the rich richer while the poor stay poor. The basic idea sounds lovely and good, but the implications leave a sour taste in my mouth. Given how much I argue with the admins around here, what I'm going to say next might be a bit of a surprise: [I]Admins should be paid.[/I] I have no idea how many hours Skerritt and the others pour into running AL, how much sweat and effort they spend on it, but I know it ain't small. Now it's being suggested that, in addition to all they already do, they also start designing content themselves. That's sounding like a full-time job at this point, or more than - I don't know how any of you manage to get any sleep or time with loved ones in on top of what you're doing for AL, and it honestly bugs me that you're asked to do it for free. Nothing but props for y'all. [/QUOTE]
