Greyhawk Ruins was initially planned before the announcement of the end of LG. With the campaign ending, the restriction that a character must have had a CGR AR while at first level is a bad idea. People should be able to play the CGR mods with any appropriately leveled PC, so as to have more play options to hopefully reach a decent level before the end of the campaign.

Whats the point of randomly levelling if the games don't have continuity imo.

e.g: I have a Ratikan Character and a Perrenland PC, and a Greyhawk Ruins PC.

Of course many people who don't have the luxury of higher level characters will agree with you...

And of course, only those who entered the ruins at 1st level would have access to the special options, but if you alreadly have one or more low level characters, it would be nice not to have to create yet another one.

At this point, if you don't already have a Greyhawk Ruins character, you're not playing Expedition to Greyhawk Ruins with your Greyhawk Ruins character. Either you're not playing it at all or you're going in with zero continuity.

On the other hand, if you can play Greyhawk Ruins, you can have some continuity. My options look like the following:
Make an exact duplicate of my lower level secondary character, start him up again at 1st level, and hope to get to 8th. Possible, but I'd have to get really lucky to pull that off.

Play my lower level secondary character in all the mods and easily get to 8th.

----

There really aren't any other options for me - I'm playing my secondary character in the lower level mods because he's a blast to play. To play a Greyhawk Ruins character for the purpose of EtGR means retiring him. And because there's really no point to that, I'm just not going to play GR when I can use that time to start playing LR mods. That's a point to starting up a 1st level character...

Since myself and the local gaming group are not going to be able to level our CGR characters (currently 2nd and 3rd) to 8th by the time the campaing ends, my thoughts were of having us use our current characters and just leveling them to 8th. I would like to play all of the CGR mods before the "level bump." Of corse this would now be considered a home game but there would be some satisfaction of completing the series with the same characters.

I can see this happening a lot (unofficially of course). With the campaign ending, why be so strict! Might as well have fun before things wrap up. After all that's why we play the game!

They're talking about the core mods, not the ADP Katrick. Did you misunderstand what they were saying?
