[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8695950, member: 6877472"] I'm glad your experience was better than mine. The issue I had was mostly that the FLGS had one guy who organized the game, and he insisted we play by the rules unless there was a developer tweet or errata that covered it. When I tried running, more than once I would be challenged about a ruling, to have people run to the organizer, or frantically reach for their phones, because [B]surely [/B]this is covered! While I'm just trying to get as much done in the time allotted as possible, so I don't have the time to stop the game to do all that, thank you very much. And every time a ruling came up that countered mine, I'd be told we have to go with it. Very obnoxious. And heaven forbid I make a change to the adventure to make it more challenging! No matter how many times I pointed out that I'm allowed to do so by the AL rules, the same couple of people would always gripe that I was trying to kill their characters. Never no mind I only killed one guy because he thought his 1st level Monk could take on a Troll (albeit a weakened one) in Sunless Citadel! At any rate, it came to a head for reasons that I can't blame WotC for, lol, (though I do blame them for the way the Dragon fight in Forge of Fury turned out), but I was already soured by the experience at that point, so I ended the adventure (Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan) and never went back.
