Okay, the character I played CGR7-01 with died, and was not in a position to get rezzed/raised/reincarnated/etc.

Now, looking at the FAQ, it says I could make a new character, and make his first AR the AR for CGR7-01:1.

What it doesn't make clear is: Does the new character get anything besides access to the Greyhawk Ruins arc, and the capability to be from Greyhawk, from that AR?

In other words, he gets the AR, but none of the access, gold or XP, correct?

Or would he get the above items in addition to access to play in other CGR adventures in the future?

And I did search the LG forums, and didn't see anything on this.

Actually, IIRC the FAQ on the Greyhawk Ruins states you can start up to four Greyhawk characters, one for each mod (CGR7-02, 7-03, 8-01 and 8-02). Since these mods all have an APL 2 option, you can fulfil the "must start a first level character as a Greyhawk character" ruling. I do recall something about not being able to start one character per section (7-02:1, 7-02:2, 7-02:3, etc).

And that answers MY question... How?

I played all 4 parts of CGR7-01 with a single character. He died. He was only 2nd level, so bringing him back from the dead was not a feasible option.

The FAQ says that another Greyhawk Ruins character can be started by using the CGR7-01:1 AR as the character's first AR.

I am trying to verify that ALL the new character would get from that AR would be the Greyhawk Ruins access, and the option to have Greyhawk as his home region. To me, that seems fair, since it was a different character who actually PLAYED the module, and earned the other rewards.

However, if he DOES get the other rewards,I would like to know so that:
1) I build him correctly, and
2) I know if he has more gold to play with than I would normally build him with.

Not to mention how difficult it is to FIND the CGR7-02 & CGR8-01 in my area... The only place I have seen them offered is at a local convention that is coming up in April, and I am already slotted in to GM some other LG games there at the same time that parts of both of them are running...

I believe that all you get is the CGR-ability. The DC is not at all clear but I gather that that was the intention.
