Come to the dark side... (NERO)

I'm about 75% set on going to a NERO International game the weekend after the May SoMN event. It's a brand new chapter starting out near Chicago and I've got a couple friends going there that I haven't seen in a while. Here's the relevant information:

NERO Highborn
May 11-13
Entry Fee: Free for new players; $30 with pre-reg or $60 at the door for people who have played NERO before
Food will probably not be covered under the entry fee, so I'd recommend bringing some cash
Camp Tuckabatchee in Ottawa, IL

It's about a 6 hour drive from Rochester, so it'd be even longer for any of you guys up in the Twin Cities... If anyone's interested, I'm thinking we can car-pool from here if you can get to Rochester. If this affects anyone's decision, I have a friend bringing a bunch of other new players, I'd be playing a level 26 Earth Templar, and Carly would be playing a level 24 alchemy Rogue, so chances are good you'd stay alive. :)

If anyone's interested, I can put together a list of the biggest differences between Alliance and NERO rules. I'd say about 80% of the rules are the same anyway, but the major things you'd need to know at character creation are that you start at 30 build and Dryads, Adepts, Artisans, and Scouts don't exist. Here's the rulebook - it's free to download.

There's not any IG info out about this event yet, but there should be soon. Feel free to post here or PM me if you have any questions.
 
Re: Come to the dark side...

Ah, so tempting.... I'll see what I can do. I'd actually have to do my 9th ed rewrite though, so hard to decide. And 98% of my stuff has expired.
 
Re: Come to the dark side...

If I can find my stuff, I might be down for comming out from Naperville. Steven can you still pull my toons from the DB?

Re: Come to the dark side...

I might be able to come, 2 things:
1 can i get a carpool closer to the area south of mankato?
2 how much would it be for gas money?
 
Re: Come to the dark side...

I would be up for checking it out but am without transportation.
 
Re: Come to the dark side...

As far as transportation goes, I've got room for 1 more, 2 if they pack light, but I'd be starting from Rochester. Gas would be $30 each with 3 people (including Carly and me), or $22 each with 4 people.

Turns out they may or may not require you to pay for a national NERO membership (even for your first game) which is $15. :/
