[QUOTE="Zene, post: 7722241, member: 6863496"] Thank you for this explanation. My first reaction, when I heard about this project a while back, was annoyance --why do admins, and the highest-profile cons, get yet another exclusive thing; why do con attendees (and certainly folks that are more connected in the AL world than others) get first access; why do all the rest of us plebes need to wait _months_ to finally access new content --which will no longer be new-- on DM's Guild. But the context that 1) it's a special surprise for GenCon, specifically the con that started it all on its 50th anniversary; and 2) that it helps provide a benefit to bringing admins out to cons, which helps offset the high cost of attendance for the admins; is totally reasonable. In fact it makes it not annoying at all, and something I'm 100% supportive of. It'd be kind of cool if those facts were part of what I first heard about it, instead of "hey here's this super-cool secret thing that you won't get to enjoy until it's old news because it's only meant for the cool kids". But not really a big deal. And again, thank you for the more in-depth explanation here. [/QUOTE]
