[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 4911443, member: 5143"] For me it has the following advantages: -Free prewritten adventures that are official and reviewed by the R&D department of WOTC to make sure they are balanced and at least at a minimum standard coming out on a regular basis, so I don't have to write them myself -Constantly having an influx of new players into our games so as to avoid the boredom of playing with the same players every week forever -Because of the constant influx of new players, I also have a constant influx of new friends -The ability to travel to other locations in the real world and not lose the XP and Gold that I've earned from playing. It feels good to know that if I go to GenCon, I'll be able to sit down with my 9th level Avenger and be able to play him. I won't have a DM telling me that he's too high level for his game, that he doesn't like Avengers or that I can't use my magic items. -Even if I move to another city permanently, I can continue playing my characters, AND I have the ability to walk into a store in the new city and sit down and play a game. Also, I'll likely get a start on meeting new friends and building a new community. -Somewhat related to the above, but it gives your characters a sense of continuity. You know your character will survive any particular DM, or group of players. -Allowing people who want to get started in a career in the gaming industry a chance to write adventures and have them published -Creating an online community of people who have a shared experience. This allows people on message boards to discuss what happened when THEY played COR1-1 or whatever and the differences in what happened in various tables. It allows people to swap DMing advice and tips and so on. (I know, this particular benefit is shared by ANY published adventure, but the RPGA publishes more adventures than anyone else does.)
