This could be fine.or it could mean you're dealing with a Shepard Druid with an item that summons an Earth Elemental, wears Plate Armor made out of Scorpion chitin that gives a +5 to Initiative, and has a Staff of the Woodlands, all at level 8 or 9. This is especially for irl games, where its a bit harder to vet what a player is bringing to your table. You, as a DM, have little to no control over what a player might bring to the table. Since you're doing it irl its a lot easier to vet out the actual bad players You might get a really good table of players, you might get a boring table. Though lately I've been finding AL groups that do more roleplaying than rollplaying. Given you are guarenteed certain items with certain modules, players can make crazy builds that might require specific items or class combos to work. On the player side of things, its really a great place to experiment with builds. The DM rewards change from story line to story line, but you can build up your own character, that way you don't have to start off with nothing if you choose to play So you can easily fit that into a schedule.

So even if you accidentally forget your DMG or Monster Manual, you can still run it. They typically provide stat blocks, item descriptions, everything. All you need to run AL is the module itself. So say you had a super busy week, and didn't have time to prepare much. Basically just tell the store owner 'Hey, I'm gonna run AL on these days', and then you can run it. Usually there are plenty of modules to enjoy for stories that happen after the hardcover finishes as well If you want a more consistent story line, you can run the hardcovers. Its perfect for drop-in/drop-out games, as you can just play the modules. Heck, there are DnD Discord servers that run AL games and events. There are some benefits and detriments to AL that you'll want to know: So, I play homebrew and AL a lot, and I actually enjoy both. I'd go back if I had a job in ABQ again, but sadly my current home town has nothing. Additionally, the characters were unique enough and the players generally interested in roleplay. The GMs I played with were clearly trying to perfect their craft. It was a blast, though I only got to level 6 in gameplay, and never actually played him as level 6.Īs I understand it, I could still play the character, but I might not, there's probably rules regarding seasons and all that.

I ended up with a story reward of Mithral Full Plate from one adventure that ended up being changed by AL rules, but as I was explained it (and read), players that had previously been awarded the original items could grandfather them in.Īs such, I ended up with my bugbear (Battlemaster Fighter? I think? Don't have the sheet on me) Giovanni 'Gio', a pretty dang good warrior that could sneak around well enough despite his armor. There were limited GMs for low-level games, but they kept good track of progression and levelling. As such, games moved quickly and flowed well. I've played in Albuquerque, and the community that played was really engaging and tried to become more proficient with the system. Share your thoughts, stories, and experiences, please! But if there’s already a good system in place for that (whether I get technically endorsed by WOTC or not), maybe it would save me some trouble.

Main reason I’m asking is I’m considering just asking the owner letting me run a drop-in, drop-out Thursday night game and sending out news on the mailing list/facebook so I can use my houserules, homebrew, and doing it more casually. Do you enjoy it? Did you enjoy the back end side of setting it up? Is it run well? Would you reccomend it? Having never lived anywhere near a spot that has AL, I’m very curious as to people’s experience with it. I have no idea how involved that process is, but that’s not really part of my question: We have a decent gaming store though, and since I’ve been itching to DM and have a somewhat friendly relationship with the owner, I’ve been debating trying to get an Adventurer’s League going here. I live in a relatively small (though big for the area) town in the barren Midwest. I love running 5e, I’m very passionate about DMing, but as it stands all my friends are just too darn busy to play more than say, once a month or once every other month. At the moment, it appears I will have some spare time in 2022, which is a rare thing for me.
