Message: <blockquote data-quote="exile" data-source="post: 4718612" data-attributes="member: 20068">I'd like to preface this post by saying that I like the RPGA. I enjoy Living Forgotten Realms currently. I enjoyed Living City back in the day. I missed Living Forgotten Realms because of surgery residency (I missed pretty much five years of my life).All of that said, I do have two RPGA sob stories, and this thread seems a good place to share them. My first experience with the RPGA came at MegaCon back in the early to mid nineties in Orland. I was playing in my first ever Living City game. My character was Devon, a paladin of Lathander. I played through the game and had a great time, then came the time to hand out certs. A +1 Long Sword was one of teh items that could be selected, and it would have been perfect for my character. Another player though, one who didn't even use long swords, refused to let poor Devon claim the weapon, forcing me to dice off for the cert. I lost, and it sucked, but I kept playing, having a good time for a few years with old Devon.The second experience came with an RPGA group back in Louisville. They advertised themselves as an open RPGA group, played at a local store, posted sign-up sheets. In any case, I once signed up to play with them and showed up in a timely fashion. When I arrived they fed me line about the sign-up being for another night (the sheet was conveniently taken down), and said that they were playing their home game that night. I know I was there on the right night at the right time, and I was simply excluded. People can have their home game. I have no problem with that, but they shouldn't advertise them as an open game.Anyway, those are my RPGA sob stories. All in all though, I dig the RPGA, both of yesterday and today.Chad</blockquote>
