Message: <blockquote data-quote="CahPahkah" data-source="post: 6770673" data-attributes="member: 6702193">I seem to be in the minority here, but I strongly dislike con-exclusive adventure content in the AL in general, and creating an extra level of exclusivity is deeply unappealing to me.If, for instance, an admin wrote and ran a four hour adventure in seven slots at a given con (which is a whole lot of work to pull off), under 50 total players would experience it.  Creating a game for such a small number of players while excluding the thousands of other AL players from that content feels like the opposite of a community-building experience to me.  It feels marginalizing, and it exacerbates the "pay-to-win" perception that con-exclusive content already has.  I'd hate to see more of it.There's also the fact that, from a pipeline perspective, AL content could benefit from more time and bandwidth being devoted to adventure editing, playtesting, and revision.  It's hard for me to see more content getting forced into that narrow volunteer pipeline as desirable, especially when that content would only be experienced by a radically small number of players.I think it would be cool to see more cons invite and support AL admin attendance and participation, but that shouldn't hinge on exclusive game content that affects broader AL play.  I'm honestly not sure what the value proposition would be that would make sense, but I do know that (for me, at least) the notion that we'd be publishing adventure content that's even more limited than the current Epics (which I already dislike) is a big step away from the things that I find appealing about Adventurers League play.I've always felt that exclusive adventure content is what home games are for; organized play is to offer as wide a group as possible a shared D&D experience.  Every time a player sits down at an LGS table with an exclusive item or racial certificate that they got from a convention they attended and is otherwise unavailable, my interest in the AL overall is eroded.A player's disposable income shouldn't be reflected on their character sheet.</blockquote>
