[QUOTE="Koren n'Rhys, post: 6968837, member: 66792"] Thank you for being willing to civilly continue the discussion on this [MENTION=17607]Pauper[/MENTION]. You are absolutely right - no reason to continue to hijack the other thread. I'm partially playing Devil's Advocate here, to be honest. I DO get to play regularly, and have moved on to more recent content, so to a degree, it doesn't affect me either way. But, I am a bit confused by your insistence that this needs to happen and would like to understand that better. So... Wonderful, if I have the ability to attend multiple days. What if I can only get there on Saturday? While the con organizers are very likely doing their best to showcase the current season, chances are there are older mods being run as well. They could look fun and be something I didn't get to play two years ago when it came out. WotC does a great job of tying 6 months worth of varied content into it's current storyline - as they should, but that isn't a reason to pull the older content. It's existence isn't hurting the program in any way. Of COURSE, given the option they'd play in a regular campaign, but that doesn't mean they can. Some people have to take what they can get and derive maximum enjoyment out of that under the circumstances. Sure, they all tie together, and follow a timeline, but I can watch any one of them at any time, in any order and enjoy the stand-alone story. I watch and rewatch TV shows in syndication. Does it lessen my enjoyment to know that character X is longer in a relationship with Y, or Z is dead in later episodes? Nope. And I can also play along in an older mod and not metagame a similar thing in D&D. I know Han Solo died in Force Awakens, but can still enjoy him in Empire Strikes Back. This is the problem - for you it ISN'T a luxury, so you don't see it as an issue. Many, many other players have a different reality. What's default for you isn't the same for others. Unless you recognize that, we'll have to agree to disagree, I guess. I just don't see that as true. Very few are going to run the old stuff, but it won't break anything if they do, so why take them away? It's NOT the "rewards" that matter - it's playing a mod that I and/or my group would enjoy. Do we want to be rewarded for doing so? In the sense of expecting XP, GP and the occasional magic item, then yes, I would like my PC to improve and level as I use him, but is that a "reward" in the way you mean? AL doesn't have to be a "campaign" for everyone. We can enjoy sitting down and playing random, unrelated mods. At least, I can, if that's all I have time to do, even if it is less than optimal. That's just how I see it - differently than you do. [/QUOTE]
