[QUOTE="Pauper, post: 7323509, member: 17607"] Depends how you interpret 'that play only part of an adventure or chapter'. If you interpret this as a requirement to be included in the 'group' that can agree to continue the game, then there would appear to be a contradiction -- but note this also implies that, if a player can't make a game, the rest of the table can't continue the game without that character, since that character is part of the 'group that played only part of the adventure or chapter', and can't agree to continue if they're not there. (Edit: note as well that this would arguably contradict a thing we both agree on -- that a player can drop out and re-enter a hardcover adventure -- since once they drop, they're no longer part of the 'group' that played through the previous session.) If, on the other hand, you interpret 'group' as 'the players at the table right now', with some of them having already played part of the adventure at the previous session and the rest only getting to play part of the adventure at this session, then the 'group' can agree to continue without contradiction. Note, though, that the rule still restricts the characters to only playing encounters that none of the characters has already played. I don't see anything in the rule that invalidates this interpretation; ergo, no contradiction. It could stand to be a little clearer, I agree, but then a lot of stuff published by AL could stand to be clearer. Regardless, if you ask the question on one of the Facebook groups, you'll eventually get an admin chiming in to say that joining a group already playing through a hardcover adventure is absolutely allowed. -- Pauper [/QUOTE]
