[QUOTE="Southern Oracle, post: 1150242, member: 1249"] I'll say it again -- wow! A package came in the mail today, addressed to me...it came from the RPGA. I had no idea what it was or why it came. While the RPGA always seemed to be an interesting concept to me I never payed it much attention, as there are no conventions around where I live and hence, no opportunity to play sanctioned events. When membership went free at Gen Con last year, however, I signed up like lots of other people...hey, membership was free, even if I couldn't do anything. When the GM Herald-Level test was announced online, I went and took the test and sent off the email with my RPGA number. I thought it would be nice to try and get my gaming group into the playtesting program. I followed the directions for registering my group and got an email back saying they weren't to that stage yet -- keep watching the website for details. When the Legacy of the Green Regent campaign was announced, I checked out the website and read about the Player Reward Program. Again, registration was free, and even though I didn't expect to ever get to play in a sanctioned event, it couldn't hurt to sign up...that was a couple months ago, and I hadn't given the RPGA another thought since. Until today, when the package arrived. The contents of the package were as follows: [list]Wizards of the Coast September-December 2003 catalogue[/list] [list]Preview booklet for the Eberron campaign setting -- This contains the same artwork that debuted at Gen Con this year and appeared in [i]Dragon[/i] #311.[/list] [list]Scourge of Worlds interactive movie preview dvd -- This was a freebie with a previous issue of [i]Dragon[/i] magazine, but unfortunately, I never got that particular issue.[/list] [list]Dungeons & Dragons miniatures ad sheet -- This has a painting of a combat between a party of adventurers and a displacer beast on one side, and the same scene displayed with miniatures on the other.[/list] [list]Dungeons & Dragons miniatures poster -- This has the same painting in the ad blown up on one side, and the miniatures from the entry pack and Harbinger expansion on the other.[/list] [list]Dwarven axefighter miniature -- This is one of the miniatures from the entry pack.[/list] [list]Dragonlance campaign setting poster[/list] [list]Dungeons & Dragons official roleplaying soundtrack ad sheet[/list] [list][i]Fireball[/i] template -- This is a gorgeous flame-patterned template on clear acetate for determining the area affected by a [i]fireball[/i] on a battlemat.[/list] [list]"Extermination" adventure -- This is a 1st-level adventure from the Legacy of the Green Regent campaign for the RPGA.[/list] [list][i]Fist of Emirikol[/i] d20 and stat card -- This is a whopping 2-inch diameter d20 with sigils carved on each face; each sigil corresponds to an effect listed on the stat card for the artifact.[/list] I have to say, I am impressed. I really did not expect anything from the RPGA, much less all this stuff. Wow! [/QUOTE]
