Greetings,
I'm a little late to this party, however my name is Jaimi and I'm on staff for Alliance Deadlands. I look forward to meeting you and can also help to answer any questions you may have. I was crazy nervous my first event as well and I may be able to help a bit. If you are interested, there are always a number of small things that need to get done on Friday night to help get the game started. Typically I am running around doing a bunch of them myself. Therefore I tend to show up a little early, around 5-6ish. If you can come around then, I would be happy to walk you around the site and show you what you need know. I will also be NPCing so I would be happy to help out once game starts.
There is also always a new player meeting before game start on Friday night that Ray runs, (you emailed him alread)....This is a fun little meeting and essential for all new players. You will learn the basics of the game and safe combat. Also some out of game tidbits of info...(my favorite is a new player's introduction to "HOLD")
Anyway, feel free to ask for Jaimi or find any other staff member when you show up and we will all help you out.
I understand the nervousness, but I promise you, it will most likely pass after about 10 minutes into the excitement of a Friday night at a chapter's opener event.
Look forward to meeting you,
~Jaimi
