[QUOTE="pedr, post: 5423860, member: 33464"] Given that there is now unlimited private play of Living Forgotten Realms, which you do not (in fact cannot) report to WotC, there's no way you could 'enforce' a rule which says you must buy cards to play LFR. I expect that WotC have a new programme in development - and I seem to recall some hints a while back - though to be honest I'm not sure what format that programme could take. I don't know that there are any additional organised play 'needs' which aren't covered by LFR and Encounters. A store which wants to charge for LFR can do so already, of course, and a store which didn't want to charge players anything at the Gamma World day could have ignored the 'buy two boosters to play' rule and had all the players use the GM's cards. Given that Fortune Cards are less closely tied to the narrative content of D&D than the Gamma World cards are to the in-game story, I also find it difficult to see how you could create a D&D adventure (etc) which would not work without Fortune Cards, so I expect that some stores will ignore the 'must buy cards' rule in any future programme where that's listed as a requirement. It does help stores to see some direct revenue from hosting WPN events, if they choose to make use of it, though, and it's clear that WotC is quite keen to be seen to be supporting retailers.
