I have one other questions... Is the packet mailing connected to to the date and time I have sanctioned the event. When I sanctioned it I picked a day but it seems that this could be used as a way to run and encounter for folks that just walk in and want to have a quick D&D game for an hour or two. How would that get reported?
It also came with DCI cards not RPGA cards. Not that it matters now but I liked the style of the RPGA cards a lot better...
And one final thing! Those of you that have gotten your packets, what do you think?
Well, the DCI cards are better than the RPGA cards because they have the tear-off activation code. The RPGA cards have to be mailed in and can taek 4 weeks to get activated. The DCI cards can be activated right away online.
No arguments with that... I just liked the look and style of the RPGA cards better.
I also suspect these will be co-branded cards featuring both RPGA and DCI OR be simply branded "WPN".
I think that future cards will probably be dual-branded, and have activation codes - one significant benefit of the database merge (we need to name them where we find them, lest we fall into despair at the difficulties of the last month!)
Ian Richards is, I think, doing his best to maintain RPGA 'branding' - while the databases might have merged, and both DCI and RPGA will be coming under the WPN 'umbrella', the RPGA will still 'exist', if he has anything to do with it!

*nods* Don't get me wrong - I'm ALL FOR keeping the RPGA a strong brand in its own right. I'd prefer that even over co-branding.
But then I look at things like the WPN Online signup page - where there's no mention of the RPGA of DCI and I wonder.
Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: the Gathering are both branded on the form, but no RPGA or DCI. Foreshadowing?
[EDIT]
Correction. There a note that if you're a DCI organizer you don't need to fill out the form, and an option field to list your DCI number if you have one. Still no mention of the RPGA, however.
Reading between the lines of Ian's posts to rpga_gamemasters though, I think he's very conscious of the risk that the RPGA's name will fade away, and is doing his best to avoid it happening.
Maybe a list of games on the back of the card or something. Just a thought!
Foreshadowing? Perhaps. It is already extremely confusing that to sanction Star Wars: Dawn of Defiance, you have to click "Dungeons and Dragons" in the members' area!

Is that a Yahoo group?
1)What are the character generation rules for Delve Nights?
2)Can you play a character in a Delve Night event and then also in an RPGA event or are they two seperate programs?
Thanks.
How do I get this event sanctioned? I do not see it on the list of available mods for sanctioning purposes.
And if I do not neet to get it sanctioned, how do I report it then for play purposes? I see a tracking sheet was provided with each packet, but what use is a tracking sheet if I'm not able to report the game?
Thank you,

If I recall correctly, the option is dungeon delve.
My question is this: if we have 8 days to report the event after it is over, is that 8 days after the 1st event, or the 4th, since it is supposed to be run as a weekly, hour adventure per week.

This is also a question of mine. I sanctioned this by giving a date but it is also available for folks to play as they want... There are folks that come to the library in the afternoons and evening and are playing it, I am giving them RPGA cards and trying to document it but it is hard. How do I report all this?
On the matter of the poster, this is WPN's response:
I am sorry; we weren’t able to include a poster with the kit as planned.
We just made a flyer in Paint and put it up.
