[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 3392605, member: 1515"] I think the biggest question to be answered would be, even with a good set-up like you're discussing, whether it'd generate enough play for RPGA to be interested in it. These days, fundamentally, RPGA exists to encourage purchase of WotC-published books, by encouraging play of games that use them. This is especially true since 2002, when RPGA went away from the paid membership model (and, probably not coincidentally, the player ranking system went away at about that time, and Classics started their slow death spiral at about that time, too). Even with RPGA not having to dedicate much time / resources to the program that Cerebral Paladin outlines, I still wonder if they'd see it as worth their time. With the demise of many of the older Living campaigns, as well as the Classics, I suspect that there are many old-time RPGA members (i.e., those who remember and enjoy the old Classics) that aren't very involved in the RPGA anymore. Maybe this would be a carrot to get them back, but maybe they're irretrievable; I don't know. Blast, I sound so negative about this, don't I? :( Honestly, I'd like to see something like this succeed, because I see the RPGA getting narrower and narrower in focus, and excluding more and more players as a result.
