[QUOTE="Koren n'Rhys, post: 6968709, member: 66792"] Well, I've been to GenCon multiple times and seen a huge variety of tables being played. Depending upon my schedule and what else I wanted to do over the course of the con, I fit in games where I could, as I'm sure many others do. We play what fits in our schedule, so it's highly unlikely that will follow the order as written. My local con has a room full of tables too, with content all over the spectrum. DMs are running what they want to, since they have to have fun too, and again, I play what fits in with everything else I want to do. I can play D&D anytime - a con is a chance to play other things too. Not saying it's most important at all, but it IS an advertised feature. As such, a player understands that it is not the same as a home campaign and you shouldn't always expect a coherent story, but rather episodic vignettes. What's the fun in it? I get to play when I can, vs not playing at all if I don't have a home group. I can sit down for a couple of hours when I have a chance to, and enjoy roleplaying my character through an adventure. People have lives outside of gaming. Other commitments. Families and their ever-changing schedules, part-time jobs that don't follow a set schedule. There are countless reasons why a player can't play every Wed night, or whenever, and that a DM can't expect to see the same party every week. The fact that you seem to have a set group and have that luxury is fantastic - for you. But don't believe that it's the norm for everyone trying to enjoy AL play. Again, I don't see a need to retire anything and remove it from a DMs library other than something ending up being irrevocably broken after being played for a while. As others have said, YOU don't need to every play a Season 1 mod again if you don't want to, but I may like dragons and have fond memories of Phlan from my college days playing CRPGs. Those mods look really fun to run and I have players who'd like them to, so why shouldn't we be able to use them still today? [/QUOTE]
