[QUOTE="Tyranthraxus, post: 6813430, member: 13335"] Firstly, while Im an LC Im also the AL DM for 2 of my local stores. We dont have a whole lot of AL going on and I dont often get to see the players outside of the game but Im often getting players talking about their AL characters before and after the game and what they think a certain plot point might of been about. Some NPCS they remember more than others (CHAAB seems to remembered a lot and he hasnt been in many scenarios). ArlenFrostlockes: Huh? This campaign limits creativity because you cannot play A Genasi with Booming blade? Gimme a break. The campaign admins have decided that they are going to use Story origin to dictate their character creation. I like it, we get themed characters. Do I think its blocking my creativity? No way in hell. All organised play campaigns restrict what a player can and cannot do. You might of been exposed to the free for all that was LFR but even that had restrictions? Living Greyhawk? Restrictions, Living City? restrictions? Living Dragonstar? Restrictions? Living Kalamar? Restrictions? Living Arcanis ? A CRAP LOAD OF RESTRICTIONS yet its first incarnation is warmly remembered by a lot of people. Finally, because you miss out on an adventure with a certain npc, " Everything I have roleplayed since this edition has come out is meaningless! I now understand why the majority of players min/max and meta playing in AL" ..... seriously? You miss out on one adventure and EVERYTHING you have roleplayed is no worthless? All your encounters with the Black Fist, with cultists, with faction contacts? EVERYTHING?. She will appear in other scenarios and if the Admin scenarios do managed to get out to more places to be run one day (and there is every possibility that might happen), you will get to play it one day. Sadly by then EVERYTHING that you have ever roleplayed for in 5th edition will be gone and you probably wont want to play that scenario then. [/QUOTE]
