Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenobi65" data-source="post: 4046918" data-attributes="member: 1515">Well...it'll be interesting to see if this continues in 4E.Most RPGA convention play today is Living Greyhawk.  One of the notable features of LG is the "regional" system -- real-world areas are mapped to regions within the world of Greyhawk (for instance, your MidSouthCon is in Tennessee, which is part of LG's Yeomanry region).  Each region publishes a number of "regional" adventures each year, and, in order to play in a certain region's adventures, you have to actually be in that region.  For example, if you want to play a Yeomanry adventure, you have to actually attend an event that takes place in the Yeomanry region (Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi).It does appear that the regional system attracts some players to travel to conventions, in order to play in regions other than their home region (and, thus, play adventures that they cannot play at home).  Another factor that attracts players to conventions are the special events (interactives and the like) that are only offered at certain conventions.Living Greyhawk is ending this year, as the RPGA shifts to supporting 4E; the new Living campaign will be Living Forgotten Realms.  While LFR will have a regional system, from what's been discussed so far, it doesn't appear that you will need to travel in order to play in another region's adventures, and many RPGA players are predicting that this will decrease the attendance at (if not kill outright) many conventions, especially those that are primarily RPGA conventions.</blockquote>
