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.

I've started converting my favorite 3rd edition module (heck... my favorite D&D module of all time!) to the current 4th Edition rules. I'm looking for help from anyone interested in converting this most excellent module.
I'll need help with the following:
-Converting monsters and NPCs to 4e monster stat blocks. This includes "interpreting" NPCs so a 4e conversion can be made.
-Converting rooms so they can be made into encounters. This may require completely changing the layout of the rooms (such as the Inverted Tower in Szith Morcane) so they are compatible with the 4e mentality or combing rooms to make encounters.
-Thoughts on how to exactly play the game. One of the nice things of CotSQ was that it included a section on "How to Play the NPCs Smart". How does this work with the 4e short and extended rests?
Thanks for any help!
