D&D 5E SCAG and A.L. format games.

[Solitaire1986]

So I got the SCAG and it made me think several things.1. Those cantrips would be awesome on my Jester (Bard)2. This is a whole lot of background information compared to anything having to do with changes to the characters and etc.Which gave me the awesome idea of running "home groups" basically non A.L. encounters created based around the lore and running things to coincide with books such as The thousand orcs etc. Interacting with characters not as often mentioned along the sword coast and applying changes as the main story unfolds. (A group assisted by a felbar patrol might get moved to an adbar or Silvermoon patrol)Normal A.L. rules and builds apply with corresponding encounter based rewards/exp.No character modification allowed as to preserve the dated story the group creates and no other group overlaps it. (Unless they just want to run for fun I guess) D.M. will have to apply logical stories for players skipping follow up games accordingly to that players detriment or benefit at the players risk.The basis will be to allow the group to play the story and area with characters such as General Dagnabbit only giving them a mission or having to try and bluff a Lord along the coast. The party events should be able to unfold anywhere along the storyline up until the latest tale.It's not a A.L. game but hey it will allow for longer game times at a more flexible schedule I guess.I was wondering about using a WH40K method of movement and L.O.S. on the board instead of grid squares. Applying the rate of movement as 1inch per 5 ft. 30ft=6inches. Allowing for a more aggressive movement system I guess

As this is your first post here you can be forgiven for not knowing the conventions, but might I suggest that you edit your post to use numbered list format? Like this:

1. This forum uses BBCode
2. BBCode supports numbered lists

It will make your post easier to understand and more likely to generate a useful discussion.

My thought is that, since AL games are set in FR and SCAG character options have been declared legal in AL games, there isn't really a problem unless you want to start adding house-rules. Once you start doing that, your game is no longer AL-legal but that's always been so. SCAG doesn't change that principle.

You could certainly run a home game according to Adventurers League rules. But if you're not running an Adventurers League adventure, the characters in that game aren't legal to play in official Adventurers League events.

Likewise, adding in rules (like Warhammer-style movement and line-of-sight rules) makes the game not official for Adventurers League and prevents the characters from being played in an AL event.

You'll get more detailed answers by asking this question in the Adventurers League forum rather than the general Fifth Edition forum.
