Welcome to the Alliance! I use a tablespoon of small, round seeds for packets, in about a 6X6" square of fabric, and they come out to the right size and fly pretty well. Quick tip since you're new at this: make sure you wrap your rubber bands very tightly to keep everything from falling out...

On the site, you also need to fill out the registration form - you can get there from the "Current Players" and click on "Event Registration". Once done, you're registered! Meghan will be putting up cabin lists soon, so then you'll be able to get that also squared away.

I'm super-thrilled to get to add to this thread: When you go to the website to check this out, you'll see that Alliance Crossroads is offering GS in return for donations for this cause. Alliance CT has just formally jumped onboard with us, and will be matching the GS offered by Alliance...

Hello Alliance! I'm writing you today with my Crossroads GM cap firmly in place rather than as a representative from National. Today I'm approaching you to ask for your help, as the Crossroads Chapter formally establishes a relief fund to help the family of an Alliance player unexpectedly hit...

Hiya gang! Updated with the list of food items to keep a great tavern rolling - this is one of our biggest expenses each weekend, and we HUGELY appreciate any help with these items! If you would like to sign up to bring something on this list (meaning you are sure you'll be at the event and...

Re: What about our ruleset is actually good for our game now First, Ray, thanks for starting this thread. I could go on for hours about what I love about Alliance, but the topic is specific to what we love about the rules set. I'm going to preface this post by saying I am totally not a rules...

Hello Alliance Friends and Family! With the release of our final "big announcement" from the Symposium last summer, I am very happy to begin this thread today in order to bring something else of importance to the forefront of our organization: the volunteers that have donated their time and...

Keep in mind that martial arts moves do not translate directly, even if you're training with weapons. Alliance combat is essentially a unique sport, and it can take years to master the various fighting styles just like it would with a martial art. I doubt you'll be bored with the combat...

Re: 2011: New Player Referral Program Good question! If she's playing the night-time portion, that would be an Alliance event albeit a short one. We will have all the same support structure in place for that nighttime play as during a full weekend event (including the Wayfarer's Company)...

Good questions Matt! 1. In your scenario: It would be $60 for the two kids/chaperones to play during the day, because the adults aren't really "playing" as we see it since the daytime event is entirely designed and developed for kids; adults have no skills, weapons, etc. during the day unless...

Great question! The plot write-ups were discussed at our plot meeting this past weekend, and will be going out in the next couple weeks. You'll have them prior to the first event.

I think I'm confused from some of the responses. Just to be clear, are you talking about going Twelfth Night style and playing a woman playing a man, or are you talking about actually playing the opposite gender?

Great questions! We're going to be posting more info shortly, but I can answer all of these here as well. :) 1. Chaperones are adults that are not Crew during the daytime. Any adult can "PC" whatever character they'd like alongside a child, understanding that they have no skills, no weapons...

Please find below our event schedule for 2012. In order to avoid conflicting with other chapters we changed our schedule from what was previously announced - thanks for your understanding and flexibility! June 22-24 July 21-22 SPECIAL: Kids' Event and Faire Day! This special event will...

Just to throw it out there, "wasted space" is a pretty essential part of any design if you want people to be able to quickly read and comprehend it. One of the first things you learn with desktop publishing is that the white space is just as important as the rest of the piece. I'm not saying...

I've often heard characters find a way to gather level IG by asking how many "seasons" someone has adventured. It generally works as long as everyone gets what you're asking.

Cool idea Gary, I'd go for it.

There's a fair disparity between groups of Millennials with regards to communications ability. And, by the by, it's absolutely strange to see conversations I constantly have professionally showing up on these forums... my worlds are mixing! The culture gap between incoming Millennial workers...
