Regions & Staff in Living Forgotten Realms
For administrative purposes the RPGA's Living Forgotten Realms campaign is divided into twelve Regions, overseen by four Global Administrators and the RPGA Content Manager. Each Region corresponds to both a geographical area in the real world and a geographical area in the Forgotten Realms, and produces up to five Regional scenarios per year. Each Global Administrator oversees four Regions. You can read more about the duties and responsibilities of the different staff positions here on the RPGA website. There is a map illustrating the real world geographical divisions between Regions here on the RPGA website. There is a post containing contact details for the Regional Points of Contact here on the Living Forgotten Realms forum, the contact details from which are reproduced in the relevant entries below (in a manner designed to hopefully slightly hamper eddress harvesting bots).
