Living Forgotten Realms Reporting Update

As of Friday, June 5, organizers are no longer able to report character-specific information from Living Forgotten Realms adventures. Players are now completely responsible for tracking their character’s XP, gold, and magic item bundles earned from play of Living Forgotten Realms adventures. DMs running individual tables do not have to fill in any character-specific information on their tracking forms (although they should still enter adventure questions).

When an organizer reports a Living Forgotten Realms adventure, they now need only enter the DM’s DCI/RPGA number, the players’ DCI/RPGA numbers, and answer the adventure questions related to the adventure. New tracking forms for all the adventures are being generated, and should be added to existing adventure files soon.

Players have 3 options with which to track their characters’ rewards:

[LIST=1]
  • Use a paper adventure logsheet. One version is available in the RPGA Character Creation Guide.
  • Use the D&D Character Builder’s Journal entry function (accessible through the “Manage” tab). Simply click on “Add Entry” to create a new adventure entry. To get the full version of the D&D Character Builder, visit www.wizards.com/insider.
  • Use the free-text tool provided in your DCI/RPGA profile to enter character information. Once you’ve logged into your profile, simply click on the “My Characters” link on the right-hand navigation to access this feature. You can type whatever information you’d like into the text field.


    Note: Players are responsible for bringing their all adventure documentation with them to show past participation in adventures. If you’re playing in a multi-adventure event (such as a convention), it’s advisable to bring a paper logsheet to add recent adventure activity to your pre-event activity.

    I approve this message, but disapprove the original approval of this message, which logically means I also disapprove of the approval of the original approval of this message. My approval is the only approve that anyone should approve.

    I dismiss all approvals of this message except those issues by entities with an odd number of characters in their name. Also I'm happy that I will no longer need to type in those blasted numbers and that this once and for all settles the "inaccurate online tracking" debate as now there will just be no such thing =P
    Blah blah blah

    on a more serious note, this announcement does make me very happy. as i will be running a convention in july, one of the things i was dreading most was the lfr reporting that would inevitably follow.

    now, it's a much more simple chore, and will be much less likely to end with a newscaster uttering the words, "before turning the gun on himself."

    This will also make the system refresh a LOT faster, so for con organizers, it's a win-win. No more worrying about entering little character details and the ability to process tables quicker.
