Only 1 one of them has the Elemental Evil story origin. Am I therefore losing at D&D?As has been demonstrated before, our rules flex and shift over time based on the feedback we receive and forward to Wizards. Story origins, while imperfect, are accomplishing what they have been designed to do. The presumption is that a slew of character options accompanies each story origin. So far, this has proven to be false. Season 2 appears to be the exception to this rule. Maybe that will change. Maybe it will not. In turn, this may or may not cause change in the rules. All of this remains to be seen.Wait until it’s a problem to declare it a problem.Gen Con is a huge event. It is an excellent opportunity to promote the program and put on a kick ass show. Because of this, it gets a lot of attention. So far, Gen Con has hosted the kickoffs for Seasons 1 and Seasons 3. It gets Epics. This year, it got a few neat certs and some faction buttons. It got Fai Chen’s. It gets these because of the sheer number of people that pass through it on a daily basis.I’m a huge fan of the local cons, but the five tables of Adventurers League being run at Corn Cob Con in Arbuckle, North Dakota doesn’t get this same level attention solely because of the disparity in attendance. The fewer tables a convention is able to fill, the less likely it is able to successfully run an Epic. The need for promotional stuff like certs is reduced. Being able to get an Admin or Wizards employee to come and run Fai Chen goes down. This is just the way it is. It has nothing to do with a lack of respect for what the fine folks at Corn Cob Con do (BTW, if any players in ND want to start Corn Cob Con, that’d be great); it’s just that the program doesn’t benefit in the same way as it does doing these things at Gen Con.So while the relative number of dedicated Adventurers League players that attend Gen Con can be small; they’re ultimately not why we’re there. We’re there to show other people who aren’t involved in the program what it’s all about.</blockquote>
