Jul 13, 2008 18:48:01 Ok, it's been a while since I ran an event (or tried to, RPGA population around here is kinda low), and the current ordering system seems, well, lacking, in 4E home game or non-published Retail event options.

As such, in trying to get the system to work, I seem to have ordered a Keep on the Shadowfell event that I didn't really intend to run. I can if I have to, the store owner and I agreed on the first game being open attendance, I bring new member cards, and all subsequent games being RPGA events, or at least trying. (The first 'open' game is July 29th, the planned first RPGA one is 8-24).

I've looked but I can't find the RPGA rep links, for e-mail. I'd like to fix this by just changing the event, not canceling it, but I need to know how/who/where to do it at.

Teach me to be out of the RPGA loop for a little over a year...

Jul 13, 2008 19:04:35 You can try to get RPGA HQ to change or cancel an event by emailing [email]rpgasanctioning@wizards.com[/email]

This does not always work, however, so you might have to just leave it and report the event with no sessions once it's finished. If you put a web address on the event entry, anyone who sees your listing on the event calendar should at least visit the site, so it'd be good to put a notice that there isn't going to be anything running!

There's a reasonable amount of 4E stuff available, given how new things are:
the three LFR previews (in the Living Forgotten Realms categories) are not actualy LFR modules and have pre-generated characters, and as well as that there's Return to the Moathouse and the adventures which form the newer qualifying rounds for the D&D Championship which can be run 'for fun' once the qualifying round is finished.

There is also a slim chance that Wizards' Customer Service (http://wizards.custhelp.com - requires a separate account) can help prod someone until the event listing is corrected.

Hope that helps!

LFR doesn't premiere until GenCon next month; once that happens, and the modules get generally released shortly thereafter, the number of 4E modules should increase quickly.
