[QUOTE="Koren n'Rhys, post: 6735624, member: 66792"] Could one of the AL coordinators here please clarify how running DDEX adventures as Encounters on Wed nights works? As I mentioned in another thread, a brand new FLGS has just opened up in my town and there is some interest in getting D&D up and running - mercifully, it's not going to be an all M:tG all the time sort of shop. (Yay!) Along with myself, there are a few other people willing to jump in and DM - though I'm not sure how big the player pool will really be. I know some existing players are more interested in more of a campaign-style game, not just being limited to Tier 1 Encounters, plus I'm not all that keen on OotA and would prefer to run Expeditions myself, leaving Encounters to someone else. Due to the loose morals of people on the internet, I'll admit to already having access to all the DDEN & EX adventures for all three seasons. We're looking at running tables on Wednesdays, but in addition to a proper Encounters table, I'd run one for Expeditions, but still keep it AL legal. Might even get started before the store is properly registered on WPN, tracking things with my DCI# as DM, and the players can add their numbers once they get some. So, how exactly does that work? We have a 2 hr(ish) timeslot but longer adventures. Is there guidance on splitting them over multiple sessions? Is that even legal? I expect a fairly regular table of players, but given schedules, real life, etc, there could be some drop in/drop out spotty attendance and I'm not entirely sure how to handle that properly. Thanks!
