Message: <blockquote data-quote="exile" data-source="post: 4716254" data-attributes="member: 20068">I'd like to take a few lines to throw some support in the direction of the RPGA (and organized play in general- which for me amounts to the RPGA + Paizo's Pathfinder Society). I live in the middle of nowhere. I have trouble finding a home game here in Somerset, KY. The infrastucture of the RPGA (and to a lesser extent PFS) makes it possible to find games that I can at least travel to. That same infrastructure has helped me to almost assemble my own group here in Somerset. Additionally, my work schedule is both intense and erratic, making it hard for me to attend a game on a regular basis, much less prep for any game that I have to run. Given that LFR and PFS adventrues are written for relatively broad level ranges (and I have several characters of varying levels), I can almost always find a table appropriate for a character that I have.Forgetting availability for a minute, Organized Play games are also fun for me. I hate to say that I have played with bad DMs over the years, because they have actually been pretty good as far as I am concerned, but home games that I have been involved in have the problem of not getting very far very fast. They get derailed by alcohol or off-topic talk (which was more okay when I was younger and could play 3 times a week, but it sucks now). Sure this can happen with RPGA games (though I have never seen it in a convention environment-- or in a home-RPGA environment), but I think there is something to be said for the 4-6 hour time restriction. It kind of forces people to get stuff done.   So anyway, thumbs up RPGA (and PFS).Chad</blockquote>
