WotC just mailed out VILLAGE OF HOMMLET 4E..got mine

[Mark]

What a nice freebie. It's going to bloat RPGA numbers to include a number of people who do not actually play RPGA events, I suppose, but that probably isn't a concern.

On the customer service site you need to click on the Email tab, this will allow you to send the information into WotC customer services.

I filled in everything, but I needed to update my address and other details once I got an email with the Membership number and - in a different email - the DCI password.

It is convoluted.

Regardless, IMO its completely assinine to not make such a pure classic available for sale (instead it seems it is being used as "bait" to get people to D&D game days/sign up for the RPGA)

Those evil bastards at WotC . . . offering awesome free stuff to their most dedicated fans. The nerve!

They actually have a long tradition of awesome freebies to go along with RPGA membership. I still pine over the practically fist-sized d20 "Fist of Emirikol" die they gave away one year that flew under my radar (until it was too late). But who's to blame for missing out on that, WotC? Or me!? (answer: me)

Granted, I'll give you the terrible organization of WotC's website, but that is another issue entirely.

I emailed my information to CS yesterday and got my RPGA number and login this morning. I signed up for the DM Rewards right after that. Took a grand total of 5 minutes (and I read all the boilerplate and stuff).

Snap!!

There is a test you can take under the Judge's part of the website. If you get Herald level it gives you access to a ton of Adventures you can run as a private event. They are all lvining forgotten realms and I think your suppose to run them for your group and report back or something.

Not all Living Forgotten Realms, but the vast majority are. The others are one-offs, old rounds of the D&D Championship, episodes of the Star Wars (Saga edition) adventure path 'Dawn of Defiance' and so on.

You are meant to use them to run at 'official' RPGA events - but that just means between 4 and 6 RPGA members as players and an RPGA GM.

I like the RPGA because it allows semi-regular and less-regular play without everything being a one-off - and without the sometimes tedious negotiation of what's allowed, what's not, what house-rules are in effect, etc which can take up time when you play with someone new.

For vagabundo, I know that there used to be Living Greyhawk groups in Ireland; whether there are LFR ones or not I'm not so sure.

For more RPGA info, come to the forums: RPGA - Wizards Community

If you look up-thread, you'll see that the revised adventure is indeed set in Greyhawk.

Dykstrav, here is the link for how to get your RPGA number again.

I'll have to get my four players to sign up.

I do remember bumping into some LGH groups at some of the con's (like gael-con), when I used to have the time to go to them. I might have to do a circuit and get involved again. It's been ten years+ since I've gone to one.
