[QUOTE="kenobi65, post: 3194423, member: 1515"] Pretty much, yes, that's the primary way to join. However, membership doesn't expire anymore (it became a free lifetime membership in 2002), and so, your number is probably still in the system, if you indeed did register at some point. Anyway... I haven't played many of the 595 Cores, but I did enjoy Time's Tide and Clipping Wings quite a bit. As several have noted...there aren't a lot of hardcore RPGA/LG players here on EN World (or, if there are, they're pretty quiet). IME, any RPGA-related thread attracts a few comments along the lines of, "I played once, I HATED it", and this thread already has a few of those. For me, RPGA is my opportunity to actually *play*. I DM for 3 home groups, all of which suffer from a lack of other players being willing / able to DM. I love DMing, but I love playing, too. In my RPGA play (both online and F2F), I've met a lot of good gamers, and made a lot of good friends. In the interest of truthfulness: I've also met a small number of really bad gamers, whom I'd avoid playing with again. Fortunately, in roughly 200 or so sessions of RPGA play, I can count those bad players on both hands. Also, a couple of other explanatory notes on "Core" versus "Regional" modules in LG: If there's a sufficient number of RPGA players in a particular area of the country or world, LG assigns that area to a "region" for Living Greyhawk. For example, the states of Illinois and Indiana are assigned to the region of Verbobonc, while the United Kingdom has been assigned to Onnwal. Each "region" has a group of volunteers (called the "Triad") who administers play in that region. Primarily, each region is allowed to produce a number of adventures each year that take place in that region. In order to play a particular regional adventure, you have to actually *be* in that region, at an event organized by someone in that region. Thus, if you want to play a Verbobonc adventure, you have to be in Indiana or Illinois. (The exception to this: a very small number of big conventions, such as Winter Fantasy and GenCon, offer limited opportunties to play events from other regions.) Core adventures, on the other hand, generally take place in areas of the Flanaess that aren't assigned to a particular region, and they can be played by any LG player, anywhere in the world. (And, if you live in an area that doesn't have a big RPGA presence, and thus doesn't have an LG region, you're limited to playing Cores.) As someone has already noted, you can also play Core modules online (something that you're not allowed to do with Regionals). [/QUOTE]
