Hello all! Recently my friend got me into Alliance LARP, and I am eating it UP. And, lucky for everyone, you're only 2.5 hours away for Pittsburgh. So unless (and probably even if) another chapter opens up closer, I'll be joining the adventurers of Barran!
I have a few questions, just to start off:
1: Does anybody drive from Pittsburgh? I'd love to carpool.
2: How exactly does one put forth a character proposal? I'll obviously be NPCing for a bit till I get the hang of it, but I've already brewed over what kind of character I wish to take part with. Is it just a matter of sending them to the Plot Committee?
3: Other than the extensive list you have running for the donations, food and other stuff, I'd love to help make some simple mechanical traps and locks. I do so love making traps, so if they're needed (or there's a vague excuse for the plot to use them) let me know. I do NOT plan on using my own traps for PC purposes (yet) so everything I'll make is going to be direct property of the Chapter so I won't be able to cheat and disarm my own traps!
4: How exactly to the 1 time ever LCO skill picks work? Do you have to meet the requirements for the skill, or can you just use a flat GS or pick cost to get them regardless of previously existing skills? Also, does the 1 time ever regard the USE of the skill or the PURCHASE of the skill? I'm assuming it's use, but hey.
5: I read that there was medical staff needed, so what are the requirements? I'm an EMT and Combat Medic and I would love to help.
All that said, I'm really, really excited to start. I've read the Players Guide, bought my race guide and read all of the stickies in the Gettysburg thread. Is there any other material that might make me a better/more helpful member of the community? Thanks guys!
PS: One more thing, how exactly is Barran pronounced?
