[QUOTE="Shadowdancer, post: 3160960, member: 515"] I have to disagree with this. My experience with the RPGA in Austin has been very positive. I've meet some really great people who I enjoy gaming with, and just talking to and hanging out with when we're not gaming. Yes, there are some people I've met who I would prefer to avoid now that I have met them, but that's standard for any organization/association. Not everyone is going to like or get along with everyone else. Among the RPGA players in Austin, there is a smaller group who play the Eberron campaigns. Some of these people also play LG, some don't. Our Eberron game days are a lot of fun; we often play at one of the member's apartment, eat dinner together, and make it a social event as well as a time for people to play games. Even among the LG players, there are groups -- I hate to use the term 'cliques,' as that makes them sound insular and stand-off-ish -- of friends who like to play mods together, but also do things outside of gaming. They met through the RPGA. These groups are welcoming to RPGA newcomers, too. I know everyone's experiences with RPGA are different. But mine have been, for the most part, positive. I know without RPGA, I would have played a lot less D&D in the past two years. I don't make it to very many conventions, but I do make it to a lot of RPGA-organized game days, and these are gaming opportunities I would not have without the RPGA. [/QUOTE]
