In the 'Event Sanctioning' section of the RPGA/DCI members' area, there are two Dungeons and Dragons logos. One is for creating public events held at stores, libraries, conventions, etc. This has 'Wizards Play Network' under the D&D logo. The other one is for private play, which will not appear on the public calendar and which doesn't require you to provide venue information. You want this one, I think! After clicking next a few times and choosing a date, you'll get a list of adventures. Most are LFR adventures as there are a lot of them at the moment. They all have four-letter region codes to identify them. You can also choose 'D&D Home Campaign (Forgotten Realms)' or 'D&D Home Campaign (Other)'. These do not provide an adventure, but give the GM one reward point for every session of a home campaign run. There are a few other things there too - the last few Dungeon Delves, the Star Wars Saga adventure path, and so on.2. The RPGA Character Creation Guide explains the general rules for character creation, but essentially for genuine home campaigns, you do not need to use those rules. If you are running LFR at home, you have to use all the rules as it is a shared campaign. The guide is available here: <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/downloads" target="_blank">RPGA Downloads</a> - you can, essentially, ignore the other downloads for now.3. The Guide also includes an update to the rules on modifying LFR adventures. Each adventure contains a section encouraging a GM to make modifications but some people were taking this beyond what the campaign designers expected, so do read the Guide. Essentially you have to keep the plot, rewards, major NPCs, and choice of monsters the same; you can alter levels, add or remove (the same) monsters and do other things to provide the players with a challenge and respond to their intelligent ideas, though. 4. If you are in the Rewards Program, you will see 'My Rewards' on the right-hand menu in the members' area. If you click it it should show 'Activity Reward' (one point for each game you GM) and 'Contact Reward' (one point each year for updating your details).5. Yes. The easiest way to do this is to scrounge cards from a game store that runs Magic tournaments as they will have hundreds of the things. Otherwise, contact customer services (<a href="http://www.wizards.com/customerservice" target="_blank">www.wizards.com/customerservice</a>) or use the 'WPN Play Materials' in Event Sanctioning to request some cards. 6. Technically, no. Whether anyone would notice if you did, I do not know, but the adventures are clearly designed to be downloaded for play at official RPGA events as part of the LFR campaign.7. There are no plans for the RPGA to run more than one Living Campaign at the same time, where 'Living' means: open-ended, global, probably regional in some respect, producing eight or more adventures a month. LFR is, as Chris Tulach tweeted recently, a beast. While Living Greyhawk was running the RPGA did also run 'D&D Campaigns' (Legacy of the Green Regent, Mark of Heroes, and Xen'drik Explorations) which were time-limited, had far fewer adventures, and took up far fewer resources. Since the start of LFR, the RPGA experimented with 'Delve Night', which was simply a few combat encounters designed to get people playing a very simple form of D&D, but that has come to an end. There are a few rumours that something new will develop, which might have an Eberron theme. I certainly hope so, though the chance of it being anything as significant or widespread as LFR is negligible. Some people have mentioned the My Realms adventures (there's only one for 1st to 4th level PCs at the moment). The announcement is here: <a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/news/20090604b" target="_blank">LFR My Realms Adventures</a> - in the ordering system the adventure is MYRE1-1 and if you download it you can see the parameters. Essentially it's a way for a GM to write an adventure which his players can use their LFR characters in and get LFR rewards. I hope that helps (and wasn't too long-winded for everyone else reading). If you have any other questions, post them here or PM me on the WotC boards - same username.</blockquote>
