I myself love the Living Campaigns... though the organization leaves a lot to be desired. And, I am a slave to the man, collecting all the Complete and Races books. Gotta catch 'em all.I was tricked into joining the RPGA at GenCon in the mid-90's and played mostly Classics (where you get a pregen PC) until I got enough guts to play a Living Campaign. From my experience, Living Death is the best written (Living Jungle was a blast... AND Living City was fun WAAAAAAYYYY back in the day before Organized Play). I started playing the Living Campaigns because I was a judge at home and never got to play - so this gave me a taste of the other side.The RPGA is a great way to meet people. I've met a LOT of friends in Wisconsin & Illinois and all over. It also gives DMs adventures if you don't feel like writing them yourself.I like Living Greyhawk because you can go to different regions (different parts of the US which correspond to different places in the game) and see completely different adventure styles. Power gaming does abound, but I think the RPGA has greatly improved my tactical playing.The 2 year campaigns they've started are interesting... Legacy of the Green Regent and Mark of Heroes. You can just drop in at whatever level the campaign is currently at and build your own pc or level up with it. However, I am very disappointed that the next 2 year campaign will be in Eberron just like Mark of Heroes. I dislike that campaign setting and am hoping they do a Dragonlance or another Forgotten Realms campaign.In any case, I recommend trying the RPGA if you havent - maybe more than once as at major cons it can be hit or miss. Get a half group of your friends and meet a half group of strangers!But now... GEN CON AWAITS! =)</blockquote>
