Jun 25, 2009 22:47:34 is there a place to down load old 4e RPGA adventures.
I have Treasure of Talon pass, but know there are others they have done like dark secrets of downshadow, shades of the zhentarim, etc.
Thanks.

Jun 26, 2009 13:42:03 All RPGA modules are downloaded through the RPGA site, using the Sanctioning process.

Any module downloaded should be a module you intend to run (or have someone run) as part of RPGA play.

Once a module is retired from play, it ceases to be available and is no longer valid for play.

Thems the rules. I agree that it can be fun to have a library of old RPGA mods and to use them for home campaign ideas, etc. However, the RPGA and WotC has to protect its intellectual property, its contracts with authors, and its emphasis on current areas of play.

Personally, I use this as more impetus to play/run a lot so you have all the current mods should you ever want them in the future.

Couple questions:
I have been DMing at a local store, the store owner sanctions the events and the are open for the general public to come and play in. We have went through the Shadowfell module and are in the Thunderspire right now. Can we run some of the RPGA adventures then?
If it is a LFR adventure do we have to run it as a LFR or can we just run the adventure as a sacntioned store event and not under the LFR?

Next question, we have been running games at the story sence the PHB2 game day back in March, we rotate between 2 DMs myself and another so the nights we do not DM we can play. When i look on my DCI acount I see credit for games I have played in but not the games I have DMed. Do I have to sanction the event to get credit for it or can I get credit for DMing even if the store owner sanctioned the event? I have taken the GM test and am a herald.
Thanks for your help

You have to run LFR adventures as sanctioned LFR adventures.

Your store owner should be collecting tracking sheets (players names and DCI/RPGA numbers and the GM's name and DCI/RPGA number) and reporting the events. They are no longer tracking characters in the reporting system by the way. You need to make sure that you are signed up for the GM's rewards program. This way you get credit and rewards for running.

You (or the store owner) could certainly select LFR adventures to run at the store instead of those other WotC modules. If you order LFR adventures, you really should run them as official RPGA play.

As far as I can tell, the listing of games played (along with the other players) doesn't include a list of games GMed. I don't know why, but this was quite a recent addition in any case.

To see if you are getting credit, click 'My Rewards' on the right-hand menu. The entry under 'Activity Reward' should increase by one every time a game you GM is reported. If you don't have that link, or don't see any data there, follow the link above to sign up for the rewards programme.

Yes the store owner has our names and DCI numbers.

We would run them as official RPGA play, but did not know if the LFR and RPGA envents were the same. Like aren't there special rules for LRF game, etc?

Yes, if you're running an LFR game, there is a particular set of rules you need to follow for character creation, advancement, etc. You also need to run the adventure more-or-less as written (i.e., you can't substantially change the adventure, you can't modify the XP or awards, etc.) Most, if not all, of the relevant info is in the RPGA Character Creation Guide; there is also some information in the front section of any LFR adventure PDF that will be helpful.
