This does two things: it makes you a member of the RPGA, and allows you to order RPGA modules.<a href="http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/gmprogram/herald" target="_blank">http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/gmprogram/herald</a>2) Go to your Member's Page on the RPGA site. Click on "Request Scenarios for Gathering"3) Create a "Home Game" (the date must be at least two weeks from when you create it, and I greatly advise 4-6 weeks for your very first session), and order the scenarios you want to run. (The Mark of Heroes hasn't started yet, though).4) You'll receive an e-mail confirming your home game. It will have the RPGAHQ address in it to request membership cards from. Send an e-mail there with the code for your game day, asking the RPGA to send you some membership cards. You'll also get a link that allows you to download the adventure you ordered from the RPGA site.5) In a few weeks (it took about 3-4 weeks for them to get to me here in Australia  - pretty good!) you'll receive your RPGA cards. I think it's much quicker in the US.6) Run the game with your friends. Make sure they all fill in the membership applications. They keep the cards; you take the applications7) Post the applications back to the RPGA. (I think this is free within the states).8) Report your game on-line - you need the RPGA numbers of yourself and your players (which you should have from the membership applications/cards). If it is the Mark of Heroes game, you also need to answer some simple multiple choice questions about what happened in the game. (e.g. Did your PCs (a) kill the beholder, (b) flee the beholder, (c) bargain with it or (d) get eaten). This has to be done within 8 days of you running the adventure.And that's it!Your players just need to remember to rock up with their RPGA numbers. (I keep a copy of my players' numbers so they don't even have to do that). If your players want to use the characters from the campaign in conventions and the like, they'll need to actually get online and record what their character's race, class and name is... and go through a couple of other (simple) hoops. However, if you only want to run Home Games, then such isn't really required.Cheers!</blockquote>
