[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 1312945, member: 8530"] Hell, that's where I was in those days. My wife (Kriskrafts) and I were the RGPA Coordinators for two of New England's largest gaming conventions when the bottom fell out. For the first Con we actually got the modules, but only because we paid for them very early on. None of the authors of these official modules ever got paid for their efforts, I know, my wife and I had written two of them. No product arrived from TSR to use for prizes, and we actually had to do a last minute walk through the dealer's room and buy up whatever we could get on a shoestring budget to give out. By the time the Con rolled around the rumor mill was running wild about TSR going under, and as RPGA coordinators the general public expected us to have all of the answers for them. During the two weeks leading up to the con we called TSR and got nothing but voice mail. The second con was worse. No new modules were available. We ran about half of the modules that we had run from the other Con again and the rest were ones written for the con that had been submitted to the RGPA for approval but we never heard back, so we pretended they were approved and official. We were verbally beaten up by con attendees wanting to know the status of their RGPA memberships, as well as Dragon, Dungeon and Polyhedron Magazines. Once again we had no product for prizes, but we at least had enough advanced notice this time to hit up other manufacturers and publishers. [/QUOTE]
