[QUOTE="pedr, post: 3062794, member: 33464"] If you are going to run a regional adventure, like a Bissel introductory then you'll have to make contact with your triad. The only adventures you actually download from the RPGA members' area are Core adventures - all the others are place-holders. Ignore the document which is available for download with the placeholder as it's out of date. Instead, first check that an adventure exists to match the placeholder. Second, once you've ordered it (or the generic 'Living Greyhawk Introduction' placeholder), send an email to your triad's Point of Contact (POC, address should be in the LGCS and on their website) with the name of the adventure you want to run and the event code which the RPGA system generated for you. They should then send you the scenario files and passwords. It's worth doing this as far in advance as possible as it relies on a volunteer to have time to process the request. You can also download most regional and metaregional adventures (but not introductories) from the RPGA website itself: [url]http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/region/bissel[/url] for Bissel and [url]http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=lg/region/sheldomar[/url] for metaregionals. This is only of limited use, though, as the files are password protected and you don't get the Adventure Record file, so you'll still have to contact your triad for those. One warning: introductory adventures are still written for parties with an average party level of 2, which is only possible if there is a table of six 1st level characters, or people bring lots of riding dogs or warhorses. It's strongly recommended that you play intro adventures with full tables of six - or with very well designed characters. The only TPK we've had in our local group which has run games pretty much weekly since the start of year 2 of the campaign was when I was DMing a party of 4, including 2 people who were new to D&D, through an Onnwal intro module. Fortunately the newbies weren't too put off and have come back for more! Welcome to the unique world of RPGA DMing - have fun! [/QUOTE]
