Quote from: Just Another Snake Cult;711900Back in the eighties when I was a dumb, spazzy thirteen-year-old with more enthusiasm than smarts I sent off some allowance money and joined the RPGA. I lived in a very rural area in the middle of nowhere, I was never going to be able to make it to GenCon or any other con that had RPGA events, I was never going to be anywhere where I could actually participate in any RPGA events... I guess I just joined it as sort of a "D&D Fan Club".

Anyway, digging through junk a few years ago during a move I discovered that I still had the plastic membership card and the cheesy "Member in Good Standing" certificate. I framed it and hung it on the wall of my game room.

Quote from: Omega;711883Pazio is emulating the RPGA because everyone else that has tried has apparently emulated the RPGA.

In the short term it works. But over an extended period it seems to fail. And fail repeatedly. How long did RPGA last after the point system was introduced? SRG lasted maybee 5 years, DP9 lasted a year maybee. If Pazio's RPGA-like hasn't seen trouble yet then they either have a tighter watch on events, or the rewards are not such that engender points collection over actually running sessions.

Quote from: TristramEvans;711996This is, uh, Pundit's swine? Because Im having a hard time picturing a bunch of White Wolf players from the 90s joining the RPGA.
