So, I apologize if this has already been answered and I missed it, but I had a question on the certed Steeder mount. It says on the cert it can be used as a mount, wildshape form, etc. Are those cumulative, or singular in use? For example, if I have the cert, can my Druid both have it as a...

Another thing to remember is that having and astronomical AC and a metric ton of hit points doesn't amount to much as a tank if your opponents can simply ignore you and start wailing on other party members instead. Most intelligent (and even semi-intelligent) monsters will move on to someone...

Well, that may be, but IMHO that would still make it better than the current alternative, which is "Well, you'll have to get involved in the AL and your store or con if you want to see how it starts, or continues, or ends." But regardless, as mentioned, I appreciate these being opened up like...

I like this. I hope to see more modules going forward being opened up for home-play legal status.

Ah, okay. Phew! Thanks!

Okay, this one honestly makes me a little sad. As perhaps the only long-time, captivating recurring character from season to season, our whole gaming group was really, really hoping to see Elisande tied into some sort of large, over-arching metaplot for the AL series as a whole. The idea of...

Having some sort of restriction that requires mods be played in a certain order (or, heaven forbid, permanently locks a character away from ever playing again should the player be unfortunate enough to never get to play one of the 'escaping' mods') is a terrible idea, imho. One of the...

Well spotted, Inxanity! It wasn't working this weekend either, but despite it saying the result period ended at the end of November, it indeed was available for me when I just checked as well. Thanks! I have informed my players to be quick, in case it being open still/anew is just a fluke.

I guess we just got caught up at the wrong time then, as three of the last four Season 3 mods released have had no reporting periods for store play (Malady, Waydown and Foolish Matters). Ah well; thanks anyway.

Right, but the feedback/results is only for convention play, etc., tho, it appears... which is what i'm asking if could be changed. For example, Malady at Elventree's reporting period ended the last day of November -- and it became available for store play only on Dec. 1st. It'd be nice if the...

Okay, so, our group was always a few months behind at best on AL Expeditions modules, as we tend to replay a lot of older ones for new folks as they wander in and such. Recently, however, we've been able to catch up with the new season's offerings, and I (and the rest of our group) were...

Dear god, this thread has turned into a train wreck. I'll just say what I did before. Unless you're all friends or people that know each other and know each other's level of comfort with various topics, keep the non-gaming talk away from the gaming table, and have some common sense to reign in...

Something along those lines, if set up correctly, would be amazingly nice to have. As mentioned previously, one of the biggest drawback of a Living Campaign set up like AL is that it is incredibly impersonal. With very little exception, nothing the typical player does will have any real...

What exactly is "the MyRealms concept?"

That said, all needed stat blocks and such should be in each individual module itself, regardless of the season it's in. If some stat block stuff was left off, it sounds like that was likely an error in editing.

What I did with my group was to see how the players reacted to and dealt with the various NPC prisoners. If there were some that they created an attachment to in some fashion, or had fun with, then they were more likely to survive the Great Escape itself and accompany the PCs. If, on the other...

I rather like the idea. More variety is almost always better. Entirely depends on the Admin and/or author in question. I know of at least one Admin I would invite in a heartbeat, and do my best to provide travel expenses, etc. to get him here, as I'm very familiar with their work and am...

One of the ways around that that sort of peruse-the-book metagaming I've often used (when it is doable by the needs of the storyline) is to just describe the physical appearance of a creature as something entirely different and alien, and not call it by whatever it actually is. Keep the game...

Wish my hillbilly dwarven druid had realized that a little earlier... say, before he started giddily rolling around in the first twisty pasageway, talking about how "why, this here's some good city-grade fancy mud, like ye'd get in one of them there expensified Mulmaster spas, I'd reckon!"...

Whenever I first sit down to run, I see who has already familiar with the mod, and ask that they try to please keep any out-of-character knowledge to a minimum, and to allow the players who have not played it yet to take the lead when at all possible. Unless the player in question is a jerk...
