Aug 28, 2003 23:37:41 A Living campaign is one run under the purview of the RPGA organization. It primarily consists of a series of adventures, usually part of one or more ongoing story arcs, released that can be run at registered RPGA events (many of these are at conventions, but frequently there are local RPGA groups that run regular get-togethers).

A Living Dragonlance game would be one of these RPGA campaigns specific to the Dragonlance setting.

Aug 28, 2003 23:40:48 The RPGA is a fellowship of gamers who play various games set in "Living" worlds. Basically, it is a chance for fans to design adventures for their favourite settings, and play PC's in them. It will probably be the only way I'll get to be a player in a dragonlance game, given that I'm the only one who likes the setting.

RPGA

Here is a "What we do" What we do page for the organization, which will give you a breif explanation.

Aug 29, 2003 5:00:12 If it ever gets an official go-ahead, I'd volunteer to join the staff in a heartbeat.

I'm on the local staff and getting frustrated with the Living Greyhawk campaign.

How do you start a local RPGA group?

East Canada is the "Ket" Living Greyhawk region and West Canada is the "Tusmit" Living Greyhawk region.

Visit the calender:
http://events.wizards.com/rpgaweb/external/calendar.asp
and filter by Canada. You should get a few conventions or game days show up. Contact the the person listed and go from there.

This came up on enworld.org a couple of months ago. An RPGA rep came on to dispel rumors that the RPGA was going to do a Living Sovreign Stone or a Living DragonLance. Someone from Sovreign Press came in and clarified. Sovreign press is thinking of starting their own "Living"-like campaigns set in DL and in the SovStone world.

Oct 01, 2003 20:05:29 I have mixed feelings about the RPGA. I quit playing Living Greyhawk when I had to call H&R Block to to handle my log sheets from adventure to adventure. They wanted you to keep track of everything, down to the last crossbow bolt. I hear its better now. That and the early LG adventures were not much fun for me and you got very little in terms of reward (xp, and gold).

Though Living Force was a lot of fun.

I can't stand the RPGA. Down here the local RPGA is call the Miami Circle. They are a bunch of staunchy, bickering, ****, gaming Nazis!

I only speak for Miami though.

Oct 04, 2003 9:44:58 Hmmm....this line of reasoning breeds a thought.....

Maybe there should be a new organization of roleplayers. Not a restrictive, political machine, but a loosely-connected bunch of GMs who communicate on a regular basis...

Why just give the role to the RPGA?

Oct 05, 2003 10:50:19 I'd run a Living Dragonlance (or whatever they'd call it since I supose 'Living something' is trademarked by the RPGA) game in a second.

I really hope Sovereign does this.

Oct 05, 2003 11:03:20 I would kill to run a living dragonlance, or play in one. That is the best way for a player to really influence the world.

Oct 06, 2003 3:22:00 Kalanth, give you’re players the opportunity to shape the course of Krynn’s history and they’ll feel like they are influencing the world without the need for the RPGA.

Oct 06, 2003 10:01:44 See now, I understand what you are saying, Baron. However, I want to actually afect the printed world. I know I never will, but man oh man it would be nice to see something I did at home end up in print.

Hi there

my name is Peter, I'm one of the founders of the Miami Circle down here in Miami, dude, if there are any problems with you and other players down here you can always e-mail me.

We are constantly looking for new players to add to the mix, we have always invited all gamers & all games..

When I started this club (with Jim and Fito) we had a vision to create a unified gaming community where there was none..

Like I said I would like to talk to you about this and see if there is any way to change your opinion about us, as a club, the members can change its makeup. And the only way to create changes it to become active.

Living Arcanis has taken my focus from The Miami Circle, but I still care about it and I still want to see the gaming community down here grow and grow, and become a place that every Miami gamer can come to for any game.

For some it may be a dream, a club where RPGA players, LARPers, and home game players can chill out and discuss the things that unite us...

We all like to game

I only speak for Miami though.

Howdy folks I was alerted to this post by some informants.
Being one of the The Miami Circle Gaming Nazis I'd thought I'd chime in on the subject.

First thing, whoever you are we will hunt you down. And when we find you "No gaming for you, 6 months!"

But seriously, I don't know what the beef is here but we as a gaming group try to put on game days and conventions here in miami.
We are all working adults here and put on these games in our spare time.
So that means that our selection of campaigns is norrowed down to LG and LA.
And I guess alot of people find this limiting. Because they might want to play dragonstar or living death. Or because their work schedules prohibit them from playing on the weekend.
Unfortunately we only have so much time to devote to gaming and usually that means playing on a weekend.

I would definately like it if there was more variety here in Miami but we can only do so much.

Oct 07, 2003 12:55:36 Pedro, I would love to continue discussing this in the Miami Circle Boards if I wasn’t banned for disagreeing with GreenKnight!

I’m also very upset at the way the Miami Circle treated Sunshine Role-players. Fact is the Miami Circle has a nasty reputation for strong-arming, cheating, and pettiness.

It would be grossly unfair to label all its members as “gaming Nazis” so don’t take it too personal. I understand some of you might have very good intentions but over all I view the Miami Circle (and the RPGA) as a restrictive arrogant organization.

Oct 07, 2003 13:41:01 I remember you... ...

No there wasn't a disagreement. There was full on bashing of Greenknight. I know cause I was in the mix. I remember some of the things you and another said about this poor guy.

As for Sunshine. The Miami Circle is currently, basically under Sunshine's control. All the Living games are run there. Out of all the stores in our city something like 95% of all the Miami Circle's games are run there.

I'm so very glad that this came up. I'm starting up a DL home game and I was planing on inviting you. You have saved me the time of setting up a screening meeting.

Oct 07, 2003 13:54:01 Guys, let's keep this topic Dragonlance-related if we could, specifically with the intent of discussing a possible Living Dragonlance.

I know that there are mixed feelings about the RPGA, and it sounds like there are some private issues with the Miami group as well.

However, this is not the place to discuss such issues. I would recommend posting on the RPGA boards for issues dealing with the RPGA. The Miami group is, of course, a private discussion and should be taken to either e-mail or the appropriate forum.

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated.

Back to topic!

Oct 07, 2003 14:24:35 You couldn’t possibly remember me because I never used this name. I know Green Knight (Rene) personally and I know exactly who did the bashing. I also know how one of your founders threatened one of my coworkers for disagreeing with the Circle. Lucky for him my friend shrugged off his challenge (his a big metal-head biker type). I’m not interested in your Living Dragonlance game. Now out of respect for this Board if you want to further discuss this contact me via e-mail (hitmarkv@earthlink.net) or get in contact with me through Joel (my name is Richard).
