[QUOTE="bloodtide, post: 8866948, member: 6684958"] Is AL Adventure League? I'm not 100% sure what that is......but what I was saying is nearly all gamers I see today only play "offical Wizards content". Most won't even go for third party stuff. They have a weird idea of "brand loyalty" that if it's not from WotC, it's "not D&D". Other then the couple dozen DMs I infulenced, very few DMs ever make their own adventures. And the idea of "Improving" a game is not considered. That is not "really playing D&D" to them. Not all of them are so dead set: I see a lot of peer pressure, and that odd "well my DM friend says no homebrew in our game so I don't like homebrew of my own free will". Still, a bit ago this year the Library had Dinosaur Week....so I posted a simple pick up game: dinos attack the city by time portals. Like 200 kids signed up in no time. I had an outline for the adventure, but it was mostly an improv game. And most of them players were from the "never homebrew, never improv" gamers. Yet, everyone had fun. During such times I can get some gamers to come around to "look everything does not need to be offical WotC". [/QUOTE]
