Signing Up for RPGA

[airwalkrr]

I used to be big into the RPGA a few years ago but don't remember my RPGA number. My wife and I want to join a local RPGA group and I need to sign us up for new RPGA numbers. Can someone help me figure out how to do this? I have tried the WOTC site but I am lost. It seems like they require me to sign up for D&D Insider to play. Is this really the case? When I used to play the RPGA it was free as long as you owned the books. So what do I do?

Your local RPGA group should likely have membership cards already - or, if your FLGS runs Magic or D&D events, it will. Note that the RPGA has basically been merged with the DCI, so you use DCI cards now.

Membership is still free.

You should be fine just to turn up at the event: the organizer should have membership cards for you.

Cheers!

Sounds good. Thanks for the reply.

The RPGA doesn't really exist in the same way any more, so I expect that if you attend an event which is running Living Forgotten Realms or D&D Encounters (or the Worldwide D&D Game Day) which are the only current WotC organised play programmes, you'll either not be asked for an RPGA number or you'll be offered a new one.

If you really want to rediscover your old RPGA number I expect WotC Customer Services can find it for you - contact them via the system at http://www.wizards.com/customerservice

(If you have a DCI number from playing in official Magic (or DDM etc) tournaments, that number will work as well.

So I guess you don't get rewards based on the adventures you participate in anymore?

The adventure is its own reward.

airwalkrr,

Shoot me a PM with your first and last name and the region/state/country you got your first RPGA/DCI number.

I can log into Wizards Event Reporter (WER) and look your number(s) up.

If you don't want to do this with me (someone you don't know) you can ask if the store you are playing at uses WER to report D&D/Magic results and they can do the same thing.

When I was organizing D&D Encounters for the first 2 season I was constantly looking up old numbers folks forgot.

Good luck,

This offer open to anyone? I have an oooooold DCI account back when I played tournament M:tG in the mid-90s, but I don't know the number or if it's still valid.

Sure, if you have a really common first and last name that might impede my ability to find it but I can usually find one if its still in the system.

Thanks, got one of them working. I'm seriously shocked I'm still in the system. That thing hasn't been used since at least 1997 or 1998. I don't remember playing in a M:tG tournament since high school and that's the only time I used it.
