I ' m not a doctor , but a quick Google search to learn something new told me that that ' s only a theory of what it might do and has never been proven . <| sep |> you mean marksman . Theres no t , and its a smaller word . <| sep |> Find an ash tray . Most garbage cans have a little sandy area on top for you to put your cigarettes out on <| sep |> A a frequent AL player DM , there are plenty of reasons . Portability of characters availability of games means that in theory I can get in a lot more games than I could via home groups . Downside is the number of DMs available is such that I wind up DMing far more than I get to play then again , I have such a high expectation for DMs to meet that a lot don ' t make it Home groups can be surprisingly hard to find especially good ones . AL serves as a great mixing ground for meeting new people , and I ' ve made many friendships through it . It ' s also easier to DM for in some ways , because the story is written for you and all you ' re doing is adjusting it to the player ' s choices , within limits . This makes it easier for newer DMs , and players , to get a good story going . The pick up drop out structure also reduces the opportunity cost significantly if I don ' t like a group , I can walk away and take my character with me , no problems . The ability to travel to cons also serves as another great socialization opportunity , not to mention just plain being fun in it ' s own right .
