It is intended for school students to access from the Education System (which BLOCKS access to Wizards Of The Coast). It is not intended to challenge copyright in any way, shape or form.</div> <bR> <div> <B>Who and What are We?</B></div> <div> The RPGA is a community of people who love roleplaying games and want to share the fun. Our mission is to connect gamers like you with others (possibly not like you) for friendship, social activities, and (of course) lots of roleplaying. We work both to encourage new roleplayers to join in the fun and to give veterans that little extra something for their home or tournament games. If you want to meet new friends, find a game, or add something more to your own campaign, check us out. </div> <div> The RPGA runs <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>roleplaying</U></FONT> games at conventions, in stores, on the World Wide Web, and at one-day game days every weekend, all around the country. There's always a high-quality game to be found if you're a member, so why not join today? </div> <bR> <div> <B>Why Should You Join the Club?</B></div> <div> We publish a fantastic magazine called Polyhedron® exclusively for our members, which is chock full of gaming tips, characters, monsters, sites, and the occasional god or two. The nuggets in these pages are just begging to be dropped into your home campaign. Join the club and have it delivered to your door!</div> <bR> <div> In addition, all members receive a free official AD&D® adventure not available anywhere else. This year's adventure, "The Wand of Archael," pits two groups of rival wizards against each other in a desperate quest to discover parts of a missing artifact! If you're not RPGA, you'll have to buy it on the secondary market. . . . </div> <bR> <div> As part of Wizards of the Coast's Organized Play Division, the RPGA is the official playtesting body for Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game products. Because RPGA members are the best roleplayers anywhere, Wizards calls on the club to check out its latest designs before they're published! If you want to be an insider, you've got to be a part of the club. </div> <bR> <div> In 2000, we kicked off the largest shared-world roleplaying game ever: the Living GreyhawkTM campaign! That's right, the original campaign world of the D&D® game, created by E. Gary Gygax himself, is now the domain of the RPGA. The members will determine the future of the campaign because their gaming will represent the official events and history of this classic world! Join now and get in on the action right from the start!</div> <bR> <div> <B>We're Growing!</B></div> <div> The RPGA is adding new features all the time. With the launch of the 3rd-edition Dungeons & Dragons game in August of 2000, the upcoming year is going to be one of the most exciting for RPGA, ever!
