Message: <blockquote data-quote="kenobi65" data-source="post: 3280637" data-attributes="member: 1515">Are you referring to the Serenity RPG?  Or is there a game called "Serendipity" that I've never heard of? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />On the various RPGA lists and boards I frequent, Ian Richards (head of RPGA) has stated, more than once, that play of the "D&D Campaigns" (first Legacy of the Green Regent, then Mark of Heroes, and now Xen'drik Expeditions) has been quite strong; while I haven't seen him quote actual play numbers in a couple of years now, when Green Regent was running, he said it was second only to Living Greyhawk in active players.  Those quotes from him always lead to some raucous debate; a fair number of RPGA vets will always be quoted as saying, "you've got to be kidding me; I don't see any LotGR/MoH/XE play in my area."  I'm not sure what to believe fully in those discussions; I never like to put a lot of empirical weight behind "nobody I know does X" kinds of statements, but I see a lot of them.I have a suspicion that Stephen Radney-MacFarland was one of the key believers in the D&D Campaigns; with his departure from RPGA last summer, we already see some things changing (they're allowing online play of the D&D Campaigns, which would have never happened with SRM in charge; they're partially going away from the online chararacter tracker, which is still buggy after 4 years of use, etc.)I sense some excitement among RPGA players that Xen'drik is doing things differently (4 different factions, each being run by a veteran RPGA staffer, a la LG).  OTOH, RPGA continues to transition away from giving any support to any campaigns not directly owned by WotC.</blockquote>
