:point_right: the upcoming online-poll will last for 2 weeks, with a reminder after the 1st week
:point_right: you can find the referenced Season 11 AL rules here
:point_right: you can find Downtime rules in the Season 11 AL Rules (page 3) and in XGtE (page 126ff)

N.B.: note that this is NOT the thread to post for showing up at that day’s VALUE game :wink:
(it’s just an info post for a dm-meeting for people, who dm [at least semi-regulary] at VALUE or have done so in the past^^)

thanks & take care everyone :slight_smile:

quick reminder for the AL DM meeting next Wednesday

please have a look at the questions above
also at the 3 pages of the AL Season 11 rules, which you can find here
and think about which questions you want to see changed
or how to phrase a question better, so that they don’t become victim to my bureaucratic legalese^^

see you :slight_smile:

p.s. the online questionnaire will likely start at 23rd of March

more questions if magic item limit = yes. Should everybody on the table get the opportunity to take the item instead only one player?
If magic item limit = yes should we stay with TCP system?
If tcp = yes should char’s created on a higher level receive only 50% of the tcp?
If you don’t level up should you get only 50% of tcp ?
