And I always go with my gut... So, let's just throw some more kindling on the fire shall we. So, I run an AL game at my store, and I'm struggling to get new players... but hey never fear, a new book is about to be released and that is bound to bring in new prospects into the store. So, a guy shows up to purchase SCAG, and he comes over to my table as I run the few players I have. He gets all excited, and watches us play for a bit, he is a little apprehensive as most new players get. I suddenly get up and with a warm inviting smile I introduce myself to him, and tell him he is welcome to join us. He gets excited, I tell him he can just grab a pregen or he can make a new one quick. He opts to grab the pregen since I explained that he can change him anytime up to level 4. Well, he plays and has a great time, and says you bet I'll be back next week. However during the break he decides to make his own character and comes up with this awesome creative idea of Air Gensai Stormlord... sure, mechanically its subpar, but he loves the concept. He shows up next game with character in hand all excited. I find out what he wants to play and have to explain to him, as nicely as I can that this build is not legal in AL, and I offer other suggestions, but suddenly he gets upset. And says, well I guess if the AL is so uptight about this kind of stuff I'll just go back to pathfinder so I can play what I want...Look, I know that this a pretty exaggerated example, but it's one that could realistically happen. And it will happen more and more as these types of core books get released.My point is, these are core books, and they should be considered compatible with all of the seasonal books. It just makes sense, and really it's simpler...So, the question that comes next, does any of this matter... or is all of this falling on deaf ears... And what is done is done? I mean, does the AL hear the concerns I'm noting, or is this a complete waste of my time...If so, then I'm done, I don't need a sounding board, I want to see change......but if all we are going to get is the company line message over and over, then I would rather waste my time on other distractions...Or is everyone just playing Fallout 4 like I should be, lol</blockquote>
