Do these groups operate under Adventurer's League rules? The last time I joined a table at the Maitland Cool Stuff, the DM was having people skip over the first couple of levels "to get past the tedious parts" and wasn't requiring anyone to log anything. Granted, it was a REALLY FUN table and I had a great time coming back for a while, but it definitely wasn't the AL table that was advertised, and I couldn't bring that character to another table when my schedule changed.
Our group does (and does not run any games out of Cool Stuff Maitland so it's probably a different group)... there was a few complaints that I had heard about Orlando Nerds and Geeks DMs not running AL-legal games however I do not know if this is still the case. There are a few DMs over there that also play in Orlando RPG games (like DM Cameron) so I can vouch for those individuals however I do not know about the other DMs.
We have games at Campus Cards and Games near UCF, Campus Cards and Games 2 near Full Sail, and Cool Stuff Games Inc in South Orlando!
