    The Angry GM on D&D Encounters

    Not gonna happen. Just like any business or large organization, you almost never, ever provide details of why a person was let go publicly, both for the company's and the individual's sake. That's between them and them only; if Voltramax wants to go about throwing his (understandably-biased)...

    Philosophical approaches of PFS and Adventurer's League

    To a degree, yes. But I look at it this way: only a small fraction of potential gamers have a FLGS near them (many of us live out in the sticks). And while I think those FLGS should be doing whatever they can to promote their local community, I don't necessarily agree that the way WotC should...

    DM Discussion thread: The Occupation of Szith Morcane

    Which errata document is that one again?

    What magic items are now "out there" in AL?

    Heh, it's messing with games already. I'm really surprised that they disallowed Aarakokra from the EE supplement because of the flight ability, yet they turned around and allowed that magic item. Admittedly, the two aren't exact comparisons, but over the course of any single Expeditions mod or...

    Using one Deity to represent another

    Probably because the Realms, if nothing else, has a huge amount of lore and mythology behind it, and if you're looking for roleplaying hooks, sometimes it's just not as good of a fit to handwave all the lore out there just to satisfy the (imho awkward) artificial limitation of deities in AL...

    Philosophical approaches of PFS and Adventurer's League

    Tragically, the whole discussion here seems to smack of the attempt a few years ago to halt the "decline of the traditional newspaper," by various media outlets, and I fear that it is just as likely to work. As much as I hate to say it, those days are fading fast, and WotC's not going to be...

    Double-Billed AL Sessions

    Not to entirely put the blame on the DM here, but also, keep in mind that as players, it's also up to us to help keep the table going smoothly. That means stuff like paying attention (especially in combat, so that when it comes around to your initiative, you're not looking up from your phone...

    Running expired AL adventures for a non-FLGS group

    Yeah, we already know that, but that's not exactly a viable solution to our wanna-be-players either, due to reasons. Thanks, tho. We'll see how things come around next season, I suppose. Fingers crossed that 3-1 was a test run of possible changes down the line.

    Running expired AL adventures for a non-FLGS group

    Well, That can be a good thing and a bad thing. I know we have a lot more people that'd love to play AL, but a lot of them just don't like playing in the store, both due to space limitations as well as ease of scheduling. It's a nice store, run by nice folks, but it's just a small local...

    Encounters Confusion

    Yah, the Wednesdays Encounters stuff are part of a larger storyline, and will typically take about 9-15 weekly 2-hour sessions to finish, depending on your table/players/DM. Definitely sounds like you were expecting Expeditions, which are part of Adventurer's League, but distinct from...

    Using one Deity to represent another

    While 'technically' illegal, as Greg said, I haven't met a DM yet who would have a problem with everything on the sheet game-mechanics-wise being Sune, but your character just roleplaying it as if it were Sharindlar at the table. YMMV, of course. Personally, so long as all the game mechanics...

    Encounters Confusion

    Sounds pretty much on track. I won't go into details, but the adventure suggests anywhere from three to four 2-hour sessions to be involved with orchestrating the escape before you do so and successfully make it to the next section. I can certainly understand some of your frustration, tho --...

    Official List of AL Legal Creatures for Spells/Abilities

    Thank you for copying this over to here as well, Kalani, this (and some of the other compilation threads over on the WotC forum) has been a great resource for us.
