What is Living Forgotten Realms?
Living Forgotten Realms (or LFR for short) is a regionalized organized play Living campaign, and the first to utilize the new 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. Players create characters and assign them to a specific region set in the Forgotten Realms. Characters can be played in any LFR adventure that supports their levels of play, anywhere. All non-special LFR adventures will be available for play no matter where you live in the world. As your character plays adventures, it earns experience points, gold, and magic items which stay with you from game to game. There are dozens of unique adventures each year!
What Do I Need to Play?
In order to participate in the Living Forgotten Realms campaign, you’ll need the same things you’d need for any other D&D game (Player’s Handbook, dice, character sheet), plus a few other things.
You’ll need to get an RPGA/DCI number to play, as this will track your play officially. You can obtain an RPGA/DCI number when you attend your first Living Forgotten Realms event, or check out the information posted over at Customer Service (see the link below).
You’ll need to print out your first adventure log and advancement tracker. Both of those documents can be found in the RPGA Character Creation Guide, available on the Living Forgotten Realms website.
You might also want to have a copy of the Forgotten Realms Player’s Guide and have a subscription to D&D Insider. Both of these introduce tons of new options for your character! Grab a Forgotten Realms Player's Guide at your local gaming shop and sign up for D&D Insider at wizards.com/insider.

LFR at GenCon? May 17, 2013 10:34 PMLast Post By: Alphastream1
As usual, I'll be long-winded. Sorry! The brief answer is in bold below.It has typically been someone who rises through the ranks (volunteer, author, established author, local admin). At times it has been someone who has strong other credentials, suc...

Origins 2013 May 16, 2013 4:36 PMLast Post By: kenobi65
It's possible. I didn't spend much time in the PFS room after Wednesday, and LA had a pretty good turnout. I'd suspect that they were pretty close in turn-out, and if LA was bigger, it wasn't by a whole lot....

Epic Loot Suggestion May 16, 2013 12:48 PMLast Post By: Lordsterling
What my group(s) enjoyed about 5-1 was not necessarily the small number of combats in the module, it was the importance of each combat in relation to the story and how each combat led to the completion of the adventures objective. In fact, the last...

Discuss: LFR Meta-Org Guide v20110523 May 14, 2013 10:58 PMLast Post By: Alphastream1
I disagree strongly. I've previously itemized a number of systemic failings by other organized play organizations. I won't recount the whole thing, but an easy one is Shadowrun Missions, where an entire edition of Missions was not advertised on the m...

Dear LFR I write to complain about ELTU-4-1, Born by Fiends. The prime point is that it is not a formula mod. Now granted, we want a few non-formula modules just to keep the players on their toes. But a formula is there because it has proven superior. The non-formula mod needs to show it makes up for its non-formula nature, not be deemed in any way praiseworthy for being different. Here, ELTU 4-1 is not only different, it is poorly done. Not only do we get only two battles instead of three [& D&D is a battle game. Giving us less of it is just cheating us.] both are flawed by being too hard or too easy. Arguably the first encounter is both. Either the party is TPKed or quickly targets the jewelry and wins fairly easily. There is just too little middle ground. A consistent flaw is expecting the PCs to do what they should not be doing. There is no good reason to bust the thief out of jail. Nor is there much reason to trust the quisit in the battle, nor to trust it enough to reject the idea of a short rest, particularly when the party may have been severely damaged in the previous battle. The story is not without virtues, but it needs a complete re-write.
