[QUOTE="rooneg, post: 7090769, member: 6779504"] If the store wants to require it's DMs to take all players that show up that's the stores business. That said though, in my experience there's some leeway here. Some stores have hard and fast rules on this, some give DMs that use their space more control over who's at their table. Given the chronic shortage of DMs, if a DM wants the default to be "please nobody play their characters between games" and there are enough players to make up a table who agree with that, I can certainly understand a store being fine with that policy. That said, if you don't agree with that, there's nothing requiring you to play at that table. Many DMs don't care what you do in between sessions. You don't get to blackmail the DM into letting you sit at his table though, AL or not. DMs are typically volunteers, and they don't owe you a damn thing. Nothing in the AL rules is going to require any given DM to run a game for you. Maybe the store policy will, or the convention policy, or whatever, but AL has no control over such things. [/QUOTE]
