[QUOTE="Mark CMG, post: 2495999, member: 10479"] Strange questions and unfortunate timing. Piratecat and Bearendd Nobeard are two folks who would probably chime in on this but they both may be too busy with Gencon, so we'll see. Make a note, Joe, to bump this thread next Tuesday or Wednesday just to see if you get some posters returning from Gencon with fresh RPGAS stories for you. I think DA has it right, in that the RPGA is a mixed bag...regionally. I know that here in Illinois/Indiana and in Wisconsin there are many active members who work hard to make sure there are plenty of events and that they are as high a quality as the talent pool can muster, and in some cases that's as good as some professionally published materials. I've made some good friends through the RPGA that I'm sure will continue to be for life, at and away from the game table. I don't currently play in the RPGA but I think it is one of the best tools a gamer can have available to him The RPGA is largely what you make of it, as an individual, so if you've never even looked into it then it hasn't failed you, you have failed it ;) (but that's not to say you need it in the first place :p ).
