[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 3824114, member: 5143"] It didn't USED to have that powers within WOTC. However, part of their presentation on 4th Ed at Gencon mentioned that Organized Play was one of 4 parts of 4th Edition. The game itself being 1 part out of 4 as well and the Digital Initiative being another part. They mentioned that they were going to be using things like the RPGA as a MAJOR part of their 4th Edition strategy STARTING with using it to choose most of the playtesters and releasing their new Living Campaign right at the beginning to be the vanguard of 4th Edition. The novel department and the RPGA mentioned they would be collaborating and integrating as far as Living Forgotten Realms was concerned. It was said that while Living Greyhawk was the quintessential 3rd Edition campaign, that Living Forgotten Realms would be the quintessential 4th Edition campaign. What all of that means? I'm not sure. But it certainly sounds like Organized Play (of which the RPGA is just one part) is going to be a bigger deal in 4th Edition than it was in 3rd. [/QUOTE]
