My local game store started AL last month.  We didn’t get the submissions in time to jump right in, so we started with the Lost Mines adventure in the Starter Box.  We have played for about a month or so and I have access to the Expedition adventures.  So my questions are the following:   Our group has not finished the Lost Mines Adventure and I saw in the AL Player’s Guide that it counts towards AL in regards to player rewards and level advancement.  Is this just in Encounters, or is it also Expeditions and Epics? Looking at the adventures on the download website, are any of the available adventures allowed to play this month or just the new one’s they released for December? Since we are in the middle of Lost Mines, am I expected to drop the adventure or shift it over to Open Play and start playing the Expeditions adventures? I would really appreciate any help on this.  If we can find someone else to DM, we could keep running Lost Mines on one table and start an Expedition adventure on another,  However as it stands, we have one DM (me) and last week we maxed out our table with 7 players with 3-4 folks watching the gameplay.

The problem is however, that we are unlikely to begin Rise until near the end of the current season, as most of the tables are in Ep6 (with one table lagging behind in Ep4). I understand that Tyranny of Dragons is intended for the current season only, but was wondering if we would be able to continue Rise during next season (on a different day perhaps), and still have those sessions count toward the player's adventure logs - (as casual play).    Failing that, I will be forced to run Rise as a non-AL campaign during next season (alongside the season adventures), but I find that option somewhat disappointing as their progress would not count for the purposes of AL.

The reason it is required is because players might travel to another game store (or another city even), and use the same character. The Adventure Log proves that the character has obtained their level, treasure, and magic items with some legitimacy. If there are discrepencies with the Adventure Log, the DM can legally refuse certain gear/items/etc and make changes to your character reflecting your accurate AL.

I guess it just stops those with too much imagination from just bringing whatever they want.
