Well, Judge A ordered Mod X a long time ago and retained a hard copy of it and its AR sheet. Now Judge B would like to run Mod X. Can Judge B simply ask Judge A for his copies and copy the AR sheets or does Judge B have to go through the Triad?
Haro 11-22-06, 04:33 AM	In all honesty it comes down to your personal relationship with your Triad PoC. Technically it is not legal to do it as you have to schedule an event via the rpga site and email the event code and dates with the request for the module to your PoC. However over time if you have built trust then you'll find most Triad are a lot more flexible than when they don't know you. It's not an issue of sucking up, rather establishing that your word is good. Just don't abuse it and if questioned I'll deny I ever advised you! ;-) Joe

That way you 100% sure you are working with the right version. After all, once in a while errata is published and sometimes Triad members realize they need to give some warnings to the people running a particular scenario as well based on play experience.

RedKnightofKet 11-22-06, 09:22 AM	And, Pieter, you can correct me if I am wrong here, but don't the Triads use the number of modules ordered and played to track the number of games being played in the region? I mean, no one would know that Region X is having a huge number of games played if they aren't ordered and reported properly. This is just my understanding from one of our Triad people here in Ket. You will have to go through your triad each time. Even if it were not the rules, it would be the smart thing to do. That way you 100% sure you are working with the right version.

Madfox11 11-22-06, 10:34 AM	Well, the Triads are not required to track those games and RPGA tracks them automatically when the people order the event (and this very important since the amount of playing playing LG is a big factor in the support it generates from WotC). I can imagine though that many triads want to have those values. I certainly wanted to know those things as a Triad since it helped me directing new players in the right direction.
LGMoses 11-22-06, 11:07 AM	fair enuff. What about reporting LG games. what all info do u need when u report these things?
solbergb 11-22-06, 01:23 PM	Sometimes AR's change over time. I've got an AR for example that gives out different item access than a later AR. There was no erratta, so both AR's are correct..but only at the time they were written. I concur with everyone else. If a triad gives you an AR, it's ok (assuming regional/metaregional mod - core just order the darn thing). If anyone else gives it to you, check with your Triad to see that you've got the right version and that it was ok to do it that way.

You should be allowed to put that XP into a new crafted item that is legal.
kenobi65 12-02-06, 06:06 PM	fair enuff. What about reporting LG games. what all info do u need when u report these things? Just the RPGA numbers of the Judge and players (as well as the date).

magebeast 12-18-06, 06:13 PM	no xp.... thats' BS. You should be allowed to put that XP into a new crafted item that is legal. Actually, considering the XP to Gold ratio in LG it's really to your advantage in the long run.
LGMoses 12-18-06, 10:34 PM	I wonder how old some peoples characters would be if they kept up with the age from the first year they played to the last?
Britt 12-18-06, 10:56 PM	I always did this, aging my character one year at the beginning of each year. It really doesn't have much impact in LG though, since most characters probably wouldn't adventure more than 6 or 7 years, unless they received VERY little play.

I "age" my RPGA characters on the anniversaries of their first modules played...but Britt's right, in RPGA play, you just don't play long enough for it it ever be an issue. (And, I think most, if not all, of the RPGA campaigns ignore the "age effects" charts, anyway.) OTOH, I've got characters in home campaigns that have been played for over 20 years in real life...and have been aged appropriately. My first character was a 17-year-old fighter; she's now 40-ish.
