[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 6675472, member: 3586"] The main thing that happened was Wizards invented "Organised Play", which was directly concerned with promoting D&D in game stores. From it, we got the D&D Encounters and the Lair Assaults, both programs only available to stores. Meanwhile, LFR was slipped sideways into the full control of the "RPGA", which really - for all intents and purposes - was a bunch of volunteers with some Wizards support. This was back in 2010; apparently a major problem with the early LFR was that Wizards had to approve every adventure[url=http://jpchapleau.blogspot.com.au/2011/08/organized-player-people-dave-kay-lfr-4e.html]*[/url], and there were just too many for them to do it in a timely fashion. At least that's how I saw it - I was very involved in running the OP, but not with LFR. However, I think a bunch of the LFR folks are now helping in the Adventurers League, which really brings the two programs back together. It's a weird beast in many ways: the focus on the published adventures is really new, with the LFR-like Expeditions adventures supplementing the program. [/QUOTE]
