[QUOTE="Flexor the Mighty!, post: 2529309, member: 1013"] I totally agree. I used to go to a local Con and play in the AD&D tournaments, that were pre-gen characters and one shot, or sometimes multiday 2 part adventures, and it was a blast. Now everything is the Living games and I don't even bother anymore. I've read the setup and way those games run and it seems very lame to me. So if I go to a con I'm pretty much screwed if I want to get into D&D game and play a character that I'm not expecting and have fun trying to role play it. Never played a female elf druid other than at a con, and it was fun. Same with a halfling fighter. Cool characters that had notes on personality and such that let me get a handle on them and play them "right". A lot of fun. I don't really go to cons anymore since I usually will have to try and hunt down some pickup game if I can find one, unless I want to make up a L1 character according to the Living rules and restrictions. No thanks. And I don't want to run a one shot game myself since I always DM in my group and I'd like to play a bit sometimes. When I went to Archon in 2003 I wanted to play a game of 3e since I've only DM'ed it, but the only option I had was to create a 1st level PC and I just said "Oh well." I do have the Hearld level GM card or whatever you call it, but I've never played a game with it. [/QUOTE]
