Lots of tables and a new season folks. Come on by, make a character. Ask around for that module you long to play or get involved in the new intrigues in Waterdeep or the smoldering embers of the Last War in Eberron!

Interested....However, it seems....complicated? Am I looking too much into it? I wanted to apply for the Eberron campaign but I'm feeling slightly lost reading through it all.

@The User Experience: I would suggest taking a look here and work on setting up a character and it's Adventure League Log. Make it with Eberron in mind, and myself or another DM will check it out. Any questions, feel free to ask here.

I find it all intimidating but a regular game seems nice. I will need to weigh my options, lol.

@Hudsonpolar: It takes a bit of getting used to with the formatted play. Lots of GM's over in the forum though, so if you have any questions let us know!

Ya a bit intimidating.

But super fun once you get in the saddle!

It may seem a little daunting but don't let it scare you off. The bare bones of it is just make a level 1 PC and use a log sheet to track their adventures.

Organized play doesn't use many variant or optional rules but the big one is you can only use the PHB and one other book to make your character (no UA). It's called the PHB +1 rule.

Eberron is a little different, you get PHB, Xanathar's, and the Wayfinder's Guide. Nothing else can be used but you get all three.

Many of us use an online log sheet that's super simple. http://adventurersleaguelog.com

All the details can be found in the AL Player's Guide but the other DMs and Players are always helpful so I'd ask them for help first.

I am recently new to AL PbP, and though it was daunting at first... it actually is easier to create a PC in AL games on MW than in any other MW game

You will not be asked for an RP sample, you will not be asked to read dozens of pages on homebrewed universes, and... your application will NOT be rejected!
It takes a little bit of reading the first time, but the process is actually super easy and rewarding

Oh, and if a campaign kind of wears off from players no longer logging in etc... your PC does not disappear! They will easily move to another table!
