Is anyone from the states driving up to the Alberta chapter for their June event?

If so, got room in your car for a dude with gas money?

I thought about it, but alas, I've already got Chicago, TC, and our Attendance at the Con to oversee.
 
I was considering it, but I don't want to break their game.
Honestly, it's way easier to deal with a low level game, especially with a new staff, plot team, etc. If I were them, I really wouldn't want a bunch of 30+ level characters to show up to my opener. Not only will you have the problem of level disparity between the local players and the visiting ones, but if you give the visitors plot, they probably won't show up again for years, and if you don't, they'll be bored all weekend. I'll probably wait a few events for them to get going, then I'll make the trek up. Maybe I'll send them a box of goodies though.
 
Dude...

You could always, you know. Play a new/different lower level character. You might even find it fun for a change too...!

Depends on the branch of Judaism. For the more liberal branches, rabbis don't always keep kosher, as the sect of Judaism finds the kosher rules outdated.
 
Oh, oh! We like goodies!

And we barely made level 2...so yeah, high level might sort of...be overkill. :)

Right, that. My fourth character on the books might tick into the double digit levels before their first game, but that's not really my point anyways. Generally at your opening game you want to lay out the world, the upcoming plot, etc, and going to all the effort to do that for a group of players who probably wont come play in that chapter again for years doesn't really pay off. Besides, it could throw off the perceived power balance for a while if, for example, a bunch of Barbars roll in and put some harsh on some lowbie Celestial casters, it might limit the number of people who play C casters for years (I use this as an example because it's almost exactly what happened in Oregon about 7 years ago, and only now is there more than one C caster in town, and none of them are ritual casters). I'd much rather show up in a few events (after people have a chance to re-write their characters and what not) when the plot is established to the locals and the power dynamic is in place, then show up and say "what do you need help with?" rather than show up right off the bat and engage the plot on equal footing. As an experienced player with a character (no matter which one I play) that will be higher level then most of the locals, I think it would be more beneficial to a new game to show up as a "supporting player" than risk getting directly involved in a plotline that I probably won't be able to contribute to again for over a year, and I think that that is more likely at an opener.

Besides, after I start hearing IG info from the new PCs about their world/problems/etc, and more OOG info about their group and playstyle, I'll have a much better idea of what character I'll have more fun playing in their chapter.

I'll look at your site to see what's on your donation list, or, if it hasn't been updated recently, do you know what you need?
 
I have no idea what we need...but having only had one event thus far, pretty much everything would be welcome, I"m sure. You'd have to talk to our head guru, Ivan (who's on this board...IMulkeen, I think his name is...?) for a better idea.

I know they're looking for costumes, makeup, etc, for the NPC camp to start, but I'm sure nothing would be remiss!

That's fine, I found the post on your part of the board about a forthcoming donation list, so I'll keep an eye on that.

Wait, I was under the impression that the August event was your opener. Now that I've looked at the calendar, it looks like August will be the fourth event. Huh. Okie dokie, in that case I'll see if I can come up for that or the July one then. If I've got it clear after my schedule of weddings and moving, I'll see if I can get a car-load from OR/WA to hit one of those. (I'll be 350 miles farther away after I move, so it'd be better to try and get it in now.)
 
I spoke with Ivan last night, and the only thing we for sure have enough of is claws. Apparently, we have 10 sets which (right now) while we have only 3-4 NPC's, is enough. ;)

And yup, our first event was last weekend - thank goodness for heated cabins. Even up here, it is NOT supposed to snow in May...Grrr. August will be our 4th event, but hold off on plans a bit. OUr site double booked us and we're looking for a replacement. :)
