[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 892276, member: 151"] I've played in exactly one LG game, and it will probably be the only one I ever play in. I can be forgiving about a DM who's ignorant of the rules, provided he's not ignorant, period. However, I was disappointed in the module ("Brendigan's Blood"), the DM, and some of the other players. The whole mentality of the game was simply not fun, and while I understand that this can vary wildly based on your DM, the module and group....I simply don't have the free time to waste on a game of RPG craps. I had high hopes, but they were for naught. While I was spending an hour trying to get the city guard to not kill another PC on the spot following a near-TPK prevented only by a token-NPC intervention, my friends were playing a non-RPGA game and whooping it up, knee-deep in a battle with Frost Giants and Winter Wolves. My game ended with one player being put on probation, pending a review of the local triad's justice guild (or some such). Their game ended with a saved town, victorious heroes and big pile of dead bad guys. I really want to play more in the LG...but the entire affair has convinced me that the planets need to be in some weird alignment for all the factors to come together to make a good game, and I just can't wait for that to happen. Kevin (aka PC) can't cover the whole organization himself. :D [/QUOTE]
