[QUOTE="MNblockhead, post: 7132750, member: 6796661"] Yes. Actually, for that one, I was a walk-in. The AL event I registered for was an Epic. When I showed up, something was already in session and a bunch of us registrants were standing around confused until we were told to come back at a later time. I think I ended up playing in a different epic, which was fine. But the scheduling disconnect kinda messed up my afternoon. The next day, was my "open" day where I brought my son and we just wandered without a plan. Originally, we were going to go to the board game room, but I though, well, let's stop by the AL room and find when the next session begins. We did and came back at that time and I have to say that the AL organizers and DMs were great trying to accommodate as many as they could. So that not only didn't bother me, but I really appreciated it, but that was because I came in with a "stand-by" mentality versus being a ticket holder for something I scheduled months in advance. Well, that's kinda the issue. I'm not really plugged into the AL community. The Con of the North is the only Con I am able to get to throughout the year and work and family keep me from attending local AL events during the week. I had never heard of Warhorn and was not on any of the AL social media sites. My only interface was the Con's registration system. I really think that AL should be treated like the board game room. You don't sign up for it. They just advertise it and indicate in the schedule when it will be running and give a link to Warhorn for people to view the schedule and sign up. Yeah, if I could go to Gen Con, I'd be focused more on trying new games, emptying my bank account in the merch hall, and attending some of the panels. What I would like to see is an AL-specific convention in the Twin Cities, similar to Pathfinder Society's SkålCon. [/QUOTE]
