[QUOTE="Volund, post: 7357138, member: 6872597"] There are a lot of options for AL in central Ohio, and AL was my gateway back into D&D after many years. I didn't need to know players, I jut needed to know where to play. Even though I now play in 2 different homebrew groups I like playing in AL regularly, too.
