Message: <blockquote data-quote="mmu1" data-source="post: 3787378" data-attributes="member: 319">Admittedly, I haven't played in very many RPGA events, but my experiences have been uniformly negative.In the four RPGA games I played, there were maybe two or three people who made any kind of effort to RP. Several said virtually nothing during the game except for indicating what their character was doing in combat. (if they had, I don't remember it) Some of the others just did goofy stuff and had no clue how to play the game despite supposedly having played in the RPGA for ages. One was the most blatant munchkin/cheater I ever played with.On top of it, in the last RPGA game I played in, one of the other players stole my dice bag - the only time I ever had someone steal something from me while gaming. Of course, I'm not trying to say this is indicative of what all RPGA members are like (a couple of the DMs at those god-awful games were perfectly nice people, and did their best despite the lousy players) but it was what made a pretty crappy experience bad enough to make me regret ever bothering with it.So, no, I really don't think an organisation which made me wish I'd never gotten involved with it at all is one I want to playtest 4E. This is probably unfair to all the nice people I never had the good luck to meet, but the worst members of a group always make everyone else in it look bad.</blockquote>
