09-14-05, 05:42 PM Warning! This is a minor rant.
I never understood why minors cannot order Living Greyhawk Modules. Just because you're under 18 doesn't mean you can't be an experienced Dungeon Master.
Normally, this would not be a problem, but Living Greyhawk Mods are the only current mass-produced products, and it's very hard and expensive to locate original sourcebooks from 1st and 2nd Edition. Then, retired adventures are not allowed anymore and some great adventures like Lerara and the Ether Threat Series are gone, and it will be too late when it's 2007, which is when I become 18, to find these old and great modules.
Can someone please help me? It's just too hard to find the pre-3rd Edition classics. :weep:

Seriously, though, the age limit isn't on running modules...it's on ordering them. Your best bet is to find an adult who's a Herald-level DM, and willing to order / set up events for you. I've read about several teens who convinced their parents to get an RPGA number, and take the Herald-level test, so they could order modules for them.

My understanding is that it has to do with laws regarding collecting information on minors over the internet.
