Message: <blockquote data-quote="not-so-newguy" data-source="post: 6556598" data-attributes="member: 6786140">TL;DR:  Any advice for a guy playing in his first "convention style" campaign in a hobby store? Specifically, the Elemental Evil campaign (D and D Expeditions if that makes any difference)So, I found a hobby store less than 30 minutes away with a DM that plans to run Adventure League's Elemental Evil using D and D expeditions. We talked for about five minutes, mostly about my experience* with DnD. His current campaign will be wrapping up in 4-6 weeks, after which he'll begin this new campaign. Unfortunately I did not leave any contact info, but I plan on calling the place tomorrow (he suggested I talk to the owner).Anyway I have a few questions:1. What does D and D Expeditions style campaign mean? The players guide gives this: "This program centers on playing episodic adventures set in the moonsea region at a convention or local game store. Adventures debut at a convention, allowing players at that event an opportunity to provide feedback to shape the events of the moonsea region. Each adventure is 2-4 hours long, and specifies the character levels appropriate for play. These digital only adventures are complimentary to any organizer of in person, public events."Will I be playing the same character throughout all the episodes? Should I expect to play different characters? Or should I expect to play in one episode only?2. If your a DM in a game store, how do you handle random people such as myself asking to join in your campaign? In other words; what should I do, and not do, to ensure myself a place at the table? (After five minutes of pleasant chit-chat, do you tell them to call the owner and hope they never come back? )Please, help out a guy who's enthused, but a little overwhelmed by it all.Note: I own the PHB and have downloaded both documents for Elemental evil* My experience playing D and D:  I started with the basic red box set and have moved through each edition since that time, spending most of my time with 2nd edition. I'd consider myself familiar with each edition but master of none. (I have not cracked open a Forgotten Realms book since the eighties. Is that Elminster guy dead yet? )I've been playing DnD on and off for close to 30 years now. Mostly with the same people (friends and family). I'm usually the DM of my group, usually because nobody else wants the job.</blockquote>
