Out of date, and difficult to decipher for those new to AL and new to DND. Could be more helpful to split out into different section, and layout things more clearly for those still getting to grips with the format.

This is very much out of date. You'll want to track down the Adventurers League official site for the most recent guidelines.

Just essential if you are wanting to play with this ruleset.

Nothing more to say.

Season 10 is god-awful and the people who wrote it can't listen to critisism.

The Season 10 rules have been preliminarily posted, and they are AWFUL

Don't download this. Don't participate. Don't play.

Confusing to say the least, going to a hobby store and no one follows the rules... trying to keep up with the AD&D website and it's the same, trying to contact Lysa Penrose to ask more directions... no response at all from her.

Alright, I have played enought to have some issues, and I'll tell you how to fix them.

Gold: The limits are absurd and punitive. Should I have a MILLION GOLD?!? at level 11? Of course not. But I should absolutly get the gold I find in your modules, if it's too much gold, reduce it on your end. If you want me to get 20gp for my bolt of silk worth 50gp, just make the bolt of silk worth 20gp. Now we don't feel cheated. Telling us we cannot keep the gold we legit found is just insulting. Downtime: I LOVE the downtime system, it's really well done, but the times for things are too long sometimes, and it never feels like we have enough. Let us pay GP for more downtime in addition to lifestyle costs. Lifestyle Costs: Make this actually do something. Say, spend a week at wealthy and get 2 temp HP/level at the start of the mission for the better living, or give a level of exhaustion that doesn't go away if you are homeless. There is no incentive to pay for Lifestyle, as it has no mechanical changes, and the RP changes are rarely even mentioned by the DM (time constraints, you know?) Magic Items: Here is how I do this in my DnD homebrew games: Magic items have a "weight" on your soul, and if you are not strong enough, you have a hard time using them. A tier 1 character could have 1 item, while a tier 2 could have 3 and so on. Previous items are not lost, though. Item gained go in storage, and at the start of the mission you can equip yourself as needed for the quest. This lets people keep cool things (even unoptamised things), and lets the players "keep" what they earned without nessecaraly having them running around with a dragon hord of loot. Utility Magic Items: This is a big one. There needs to be a special "slot" for items like the Handy Haversack or Bag of Holding. Let the players have one or two utility items that dont count towards the total "Active" items. Players might keep a bag of holding and an elemental gem, or a Haversack and Kegotum's Oitment, so on and so forth. That way, we have an allowance for cool RP things, rather than having to prioratize only the "right" things because the limits are so frikin small!

This season has potential, but we need a bit of give and take.

The actual rules for season 9 (effective September 2019) are a vast improvement over season 8. A little trickier to keep the right records, but not too much. I really do like the actual rules that were implemented.

My poor rating is more for the delivery system.

Best would be if there was a dedicated page on the WOTC Adventurers League "start here" page including all the stuff any player might need, with a link to the DM specific stuff on another page.

But if it absolutely can't be placed there for ease of location and access, it absolutely should be super simple to find here! The pack ought to be "pinned" such that it is the first thing to show up when a user clicks on the "D&D Adventuers League" tab in the "Browse Categories" section. As it is, even searching for "Player Pack" fails! My only recourse has been to create a bookmark to always take me back to the "Player & DM Pack." If I can't tell a new player in two sentences how to find the applicable rules / documents, that is a severe problem.

Many of the players at my FLGS refuse to use this bundle. It's hard to find from within the site, it's not even in the site's top results for "player pack." They'd need to sign up for another website, and go through an apparent online shopping process even though it's free. The site and the bundle aren't phone or tablet friendly. There's so many files in the bundle that the site won't allow them all to be downloaded at once which sets the expectation that players already know which files they need. They don't.

At a minimum, can we please trim the number of files to something that can be downloaded in one shot so players don't feel responsible for knowing what's in the documents before they've had a chance to read them? A smaller number of better connected documents would also prevent players from feeling like there are "surprise rules" because of some very short file they missed.

A huge improvement over the steaming pile that was season 8. These rules seem to focus on letting players have fun in a balanced environment!

The content itself is reasonably functional, though self-contradicting in places. But distributing this material (which to boot is periodically updated) through here, requiring new players to create Yet Another Account first, seems like a deeply stupid choice.

Perhaps Drivethru are happy to inflate their apparent user numbers; but what's in it for Wizards, compared to just throwing these files on their existing, easier to find and more obviously legit website? Until I realised that DMsguild was a rebranded DTRPG, I assumed this was some sort of SEO-based scam to distribute virus-infected files.

This is a hot mess. Came looking for info about how to play in DDAL. Found a bunch of files with really non-explanatory names, some of which also seem duplicative, and without explanation as to when I'd use a particular form of documentation as opposed to another. The documentation itself isn't terribly helpful either and is a bit self-referential.
