While i was looking at whatever it was that i had bought (i think it was the providence game - which is cool btw) i found out that i was in RPGA central. there was about 10 rooms that crisscrossed the small hall wall i was in and had constant traffic between the rooms with rpga members coming to the middle of the hallway in a loud huddle of people. They were trading magic items, spells, secrets, and Cohorts (!!!) between different characters, from different games, and apparently different settings. They rarely even roleplayed, they spoke of their character in the 3rd person, with paladins dealing with assassins and such things, all while i was sitting there with a stupified look on my face!!. I think i literally had my mouth hanging open, because a couple of them looked at me strangely. All though a couple did come up to me ask if i had anything to sell or trade! That soured me on the RPGA forever!! I have a mailing list and a small association of gamers in my area and i am happy with that. Ocassionally someone around here will suggest we get a RPGA hook up going, but i just refuse to participate. Call me a jerk, but i don't want anything to do with it! I got nothing against anyone having fun with what they like, but i don't have to like it myself.I think a wideranging group similiar to the RPGA would either from the outset, or at least eventually would turn into something like this. I could be wrong.....but i don't think so. The evidence to contrary seems somewhat compelling.</blockquote>
