[QUOTE="Bendris Noulg, post: 1439658, member: 6398"] Well, I've not had an actual experience with the RPGA [i]directly[/i], but I've had instances of playing alongside RPGA members in various games in the past. Keeping in mind that the three experiences I've had were with [i]individuals[/i], these have often been troubled games. Generally, the biggest issue (i.e., the one each of them had in common) is a tendency to push the GM towards using RPGA standards and disrupting the game with "well, in the RPGA, we'd have done it [some other way]" when they didn't like a decision, scenario or character build. I do try to not let this effect my [i]view[/i] of the RPGA, but it has probably been a major reason for me to essentially ignore them as an entity. And, of course, once in a while a thread or email list will include someone saying, "well, in the RPGA we..." and, well, it rubs me wrong. Granted, I can honestly say that I had not a clue that PC or ArthurQ were RPGA members, so they can't be all bad... :) [/QUOTE]
