[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 3392749, member: 1515"] Better stated than I put it, Glyfair. I think you've hit the nail on the head. Compare the RPGA of today (3 campaigns) with the RPGA of 5-6 years ago, when I started playing (7 to 9 campaigns, plus Classics), and I agree, the organization is getting more and more focused on the lowest common denominator. That said, one difference between now and 5 years ago is that independent organizations have sprung up to offer campaigns that RPGA won't. Many of the non-WotC-run campaigns that RPGA has shed over the years (Living Arcanis, Living Spycraft, Virtual Seattle, Living Rokugan, Living Procampur / Legends of the Shining Jewel are the ones I know, for sure, have continued) have continued on, in some way, shape, or form, outside of the RPGA, while other Living-style campaigns (e.g., Dave Arneson's Blackmoor) have started up without ever being part of RPGA. Thus far, I'm not aware of any alliances between any of the companies and groups who are doing these, but, particularly now that Living Arcanis (likely far larger than any of the rest of those) is being run by Paradigm Concepts without any RPGA support at all, maybe that'll change. Also, thus far, it doesn't seem like anyone's been doing anything similar with Classic-style modules. Maybe that's an opportunity area, as well. [/QUOTE]
