And I dispute that the regions duplicate anything that another region does. I was once a regional triad member, I'm quite aware of what we did and didn't do.As far as the question of why even bother a campaign structured like Living Greyhawk when Living City was a good model that pre-existed it? Erik Mona is the expert to go to on this, he was there at the inception when the decision was made to do a Living Campaign like LG. Maybe someone can cast a Summon Erik Mona spell?But I can say one thing for certain, with much more than 10,000 players in the campaign around the world (I believe roughly 15,000 is the current number), breaking it up into managable, smaller regions operated locally is about as smart a way to do it as any. Then make sure the regions don't duplicate each other's efforts  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  by letting them develop unique and separable areas of the continent of the Flanaess that another region's "managers" don't get to screw around with.Because there are all the various regions is precisely why so many adventures can be released through the RPGA, IMO. Eliminate LG and the regions and output of adventures  will shrink up and people will be wondering why the RPGA isn't making enough adventures like the good ol' days of regional play.If Living Greyhawk still doesn't meet one's needs, there is Living Kalamar or Living Arcanis or Living Dragonstar to get one's fix of adventures.Like an eHarmony.com or Match.com for gamers? People pay big money for such services. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Seriously, what's wrong with attending a few LG, or Living [Fill in the Blank], events to interview folks there yourself? Other than it takes a smidge of effort... You would get to see them play and analyze their integrity and character before you ever invite a table full of strangers you only communicated with via email right before their walking through your door?I've mentioned before in the thread, I'm fairly certain that WotC got themselves and subsidiaries out of the direct "Gamer Seeking Gamers" business some years ago primarily for liability reasons. As I recall, they even restrict the official fansites from doing the same, ... but I may be misremembering that part.</blockquote>
