[QUOTE="CahPahkah, post: 6772189, member: 6702193"] Yes, Baldman is correct insofar as his events are concerned, but Baldman's objectives aren't the same as the objectives for the Adventurers League as a whole. That's not a criticism; it's totally appropriate for his concerns to be focused upon how to maximize value for the people attending [I]his[/I] conventions. When that manifests in a form detrimental to the majority of AL players who are [I]not[/I] attending the cons Baldman runs games at (which is what's really in question here), the [I]"Does it make AL games at Gen Con cooler?"[/I] becomes a far less valuable question. With the exception of Epics (which are limited by gameplay logistics) and one or two Expeditions a season (which are usually only delayed by a couple of weeks from their con premieres), [I]all AL content is released to all players worldwide at the same time[/I]. We're already meeting the standard that you're saying is impossible to achieve; all I'm saying is "Let's maintain that philosophy as best we can." If the core value proposition here is [I]"We want to reward our overworked and under-compensated AL Admins."[/I], then I'm totally on board. I just don't think adventure content exclusivity is a good way to do that. [/QUOTE]
