I found this from a post on FB and I thought it had some interesting ideas

What do you guys think?
Does it apply to the AL?
Obviously this is "Generic" RP advice, so what do YOU think is a way to be a better RPer within...
I was part of the team that ran D&DAL at DragonCon in Atlanta and we had to do some creative scheduling around it. We didn't have this problem, and here's why.
1) We premiered DDEX3-5 and we didn't know it was 2 hours until it was waaaay too late. Slots were set. Tickets were sold. So it was...
This is a thing that makes me a touch concerned. I think this hobby is going to have some challenges growing and thriving if players aren't willing to DM from time to time.

Heh! So that's certainly part of the situation. IMO, and this is just me, and I'm no one official... for me I need *both*.
I love having long term home games where I'm playing with the same folks week after week.
I *also* love having D&DAL play where I'm getting to meet a lot of new...
And that seems very fair. On the other hand, perhaps people who DM are familiar enough with rules to handle that sort of responsibility. :-) There are certainly a lot of sides and a lot of different viewpoints.
There does seem to be *some* idea that DMs should get "more" but without a lot...
I far far far prefer a fraction of the XP every time. Otherwise people are NEVER going to run mods more than once. It's just human nature. As a convention coordinator, this is my worst nightmare.
What's the harm in DMs getting *full* XP and GP? Or at least a much higher percentage than half...
I'm not sure about *all* of Faerun, but...

Those are some great ideas for DM perks, darjr. Thank you for the brain-fodder. I'm absolutely no one official with D&DAL, but my husband and I do run conventions and game days, and we will try to put some of those ideas into practice.
Paige
It's not a dumb question at all! :-) If you only want to DM, you are a truly wonderful person. I guess you'd accrue a pile of XP, which pales in comparison to the gratitude of your players.
IMO, and this is just me, AL is a lovely addition to home games and regular players. Me and my husband...

ORGANIZED PLAY #RPGCHAT THIS THURSDAY 9/17

The D&D Adventurers League is going to co-host the RPG chat this Thursday 9/17 all...
This question has hopped up on various Facebook groups for Adventurers League again and again. I was wondering what folks thought here.
The summary of the discussion on Facebook seems to be:
DM rewards are enough. It's not like the DMs who run games are doing it for the rewards anyway.
DM...
I really, REALLY loved the 4E warlord. (I know, I know, I hear, understand, and accept the traditional rants about 4E). While I like the warlordy variants of the 5E fighter, I wish they had a little more oomph.

Hi there! With the closing of the WotC forums, is there much interest in D&D Adventurers League over here?
What is Adventurers League?
But here's the short version.
The trouble with a D&D home game is that your buddy is in a different D&D home game, and it's not like you can pick up your...
