[QUOTE="Man in the Funny Hat, post: 4720353, member: 32740"] If I intend for the home game to be fairly reported and credited I must accept RPGA limitations, however benevolent they may be. Yes? If I don't want or need the RPGA sanction because neither I nor my players want or need to port characters to conventions or other games VIA RPGA sanction, then I hardly need the RPGA for that either. If I don't need the RPGA as a source of adventures because I can come up with plenty of my own as well as draw from other sources then I don't need the RPGA for that. If I play for years at a time with the same players in the same campaign then I don't need the RPGA to find a game or players for a game. I'm starting to get a vibe that it's just not acceptible that I NOT accept the RPGA as being the next sliced bread. I wonder if the ghost of Jimmy Hoffa will someday appear flanked by a vampiric longshoreman and an ogre teamster and tell me I HAVE to be a member before I can participate anymore. :) Again, [I]I understand[/I] that [I]other[/I] people love the RPGA and get great benefits from it, but is it really so politically incorrect to simply not care for the RPGA and not need it?
