[QUOTE="Perithoth, post: 2532910, member: 10110"] Has the RPGA failed? Kind of an open ended question. If the origional poster has defined what the goal was in the first place I could reply to it. As it stands, each reply to this post is glimpse into the expierences of each poster. Here is my story: Old school gamer (started back in 1979 with 1st Edition) and Greyhawk lover. Stopped playing in the 90s and came back when Living Greyhawk was introduced by the RPGA in 2000. For me joining the RPGA was a godsend as I could pick up and play anywhere, my PC was portable. I didn't have time to run my own home game or time to join one run by someone else. * In the 5 years I have been a member I have met many gamers who I would never have met otherwise. * I have played some sublime adventures and some really bad ones too. * There has been tremendous changes to the RPGA even in the last 5 years, some good, some bad. Some things to think about for those old school Ex-RPGA players. 1) Memebership is free 2) The GM program is slowly but surely being rebuilt 3) Home Games can now be reported for reward points 4) The RPGA will evolve, constantly. If you don't like change stay away. 5) For those that do not have a steady group, it is a great way to meet people. 6) It is mostly staffed by volunteers, the membership has grown explosively, and the intimate group it was for TSR is not possible today. 7) Did I mention, Home Games now can be reported...
