[QUOTE="Gecko85, post: 7705624, member: 6789257"] I had never played organized play until a little over a year ago, and now it's all I play. I played with friend back in the day, but hadn't played for a long time. Just prior to 5e, I got invited to an online (Roll20) Pathfinder campaign, which I played for about a year. Then 5e came out, and a group of co-workers organized a once-a-week game after work. We played off and on for about a year, but slowly but surely it died. One person had a conflict pop up on either of the evenings that worked for everyone else, two others moved away...so it ended. I saw someone post something about a convention many miles away, in Wisconsin, not far from where this hobby began. Looking at the list of attendees, I saw that many of the originals from back in the day were going to be there (Mentzer, Greenwood, the Gygax boys, and more)...so I went. That weekend was my first introduction to organized play/Adventurer's League. I loved it. After three full days of play my character had reached 5th level. I didn't jump in back at home right away, but eventually found an AL game at a local game shop. They play every Weds and Fri evenings, and sometimes have special events on Saturdays. I've been splitting my time between playing and DMing, and now have three characters (my original AL character who is now 11th level, a 7th level character, and a newer 3rd level character). AL has allowed me to keep playing when my in-person group folded. Since I'm long past being in school, finding a new in-person group isn't nearly as easy. (I tried - our group posted on several message boards, Craigslist, etc. for replacement players, but none stuck. They all wanted to play, and liked playing, but it seems like just about everything else was a higher priority...it's hard to have a regular game when half the people don't show up on a regular basis.) I've met several new people playing AL...there's a core group of regulars, with new people coming all the time. We usually have 2 to 3 tables each session. [/QUOTE]
