RPGA

The RPGA (previously called the Role Playing Game Association and the RPGA Network), is part of the organized play arm of Wizards of the Coast that organizes and sanctions role-playing games worldwide, principally under the d20 system.

History

The RPGA (Role Playing Game Association) was founded in November 1980 by TSR, Inc., the original publishers of the Dungeons and Dragons game, primarily intended to run tournaments at gaming conventions.Frank Mentzer, one of the first full-time employees of TSR, formed the RPGA to promote quality roleplaying and to allow fans of roleplaying games to meet and play games with each other. In early years the RPGA supported TSR's top sellers: AD&D, Gamma World and Top Secret, and would later extend beyond tournaments to run living campaigns where thousands of people worldwide could be involved in the same massive campaign world. The RPGA was also the publisher of Polyhedron from 1981 until publication was taken over by Paizo Publishing in 2002.

Wizards of the Coast acquired the RPGA when they purchased TSR in 1997.

Socket G3, also known as rPGA 946B/947 or FCPGA 946, is a socket for Intel microprocessors that supports Haswell-based mobile CPUs. Compatible SKUs have an 'M' suffix in the model number.

Socket G3 is designed as a replacement for the Socket G2, which is also known as rPGA 988B. Socket G3 has holes to make contact with 946 or 947 pins of the processor's pin grid array (PGA).
