My son and I stopped by your table at Norwescon. A cute young lady with elven ears told me to post here and that we could get some pointers on how to start.
Hi! Welcome to Alliance Seattle. We've collected most of our first time player information in a single new players thread. Since you mentioned your son, you'll probably be interested in our young player's policy.
If you have any clarifying questions on the new players thread or want to ask for rides or character advice, feel free to continue to post!
Our next game is April 19-21 at Millersylvania State Park south of Olympia, WA. If you're really raring to go, our sister chapter Alliance Oregon has a game April 5-7 at Brooks Memorial ELC in Washington, they're really looking for new NPCs in particular. You can find info about that event at http://nerohq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=15949&sid=22e13b7ff86d9119fb4f8aeae057ac98 and in other places on that forum.
Also, both Alliance Seattle and Alliance Oregon chapters are on Facebook, so if you're FB savvy, it's a great place to fire off general questions and get quick responses from fellow players, as well.
We are glad you guys are checking it out! If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM here on the forums! If you guys are still at the convention we have paper rulebooks at our table for $20 today! We will be here until at least 5pm!
