[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7132743, member: 6796661"] I think this would help, though it still adds to the complexity for the event goer and I expect many registrants will miss it. I think it would be better to NOT let anyone register for an AL event using the Con registration process. Instead, simply advertise the locations and time blocks where it will be happening and instruct people to sign up at Warhorn. For example, the Con of the North prominently advertise Fai Chen's, even though it was not something you could sign up for. Just do the same thing for ALL of AL. Personally, I think AL is big enough, and organized enough, that it would do better to have its own AL-specific event. Something like the Pathfinder Society charity event held at Fantasy Flight's Game Center. SkålCon is a three-day PFS convention organized with War Horn. I would love to see something like that for Adventurer's League. I hate to be write anything negative because I know the volunteers work hard to put these together. It seems that there are challenges with the way Con of the North does its registration that doesn't mesh well with AL organized play. And, unlike the OP for this thread, I've been impressed with the DMs I've had at AL events. I also have to say that the Epic I attended (the airship one), was a blast and—after the chaotic shuffling of DMs and players at the start—was exceptionally run. Perhaps it's the project manager in me. I just get my underpants in a bunch over schedule confusion. [/QUOTE]
