Hello,
I am new to LARPING and am curious to try and play it. I'm still reading thru the rules and figuring out character creation. I use to play D&D and RIFTS back in High School (20+ years ago). So, I'm not a complete stranger to RPGs. I live in Wichita, KS and can't find an active group here. I found you because my sister and brother in law happened to see some LARPING in a park in Lincoln. I frequent NE a lot since I have family up there.
Would you allow a new player to check it out? When do you get together?
Sincerely,
Greg

Hi Greg!
One of our long time players, Brad, lives in Wichita as well. I'm going to send him the link to this thread in case the two of you want to chat or talk about carpooling to events.
Cheers to a new player! Larisa

Heya, Greg! Come check it out this weekend if you have the time. Silver's Glory is a good crew, location, and player base. Someone please correct me if this is the wrong address:
Camp Hammond Tecumseh, KS 66542
It would be great to meet you. My wife and I will be out there on Saturday only, but the game runs all weekend. Hopefully, you can get in touch with Brad. He's good people.
- Andy

I would LOVE to come this weekend, but unfortunately I have some military priorities this weekend and the next weekend. I don't even have a character made yet. I see three different rulebooks, but not sure which I should be following. I finished reading the Heroic one, but looking at the different events, it looks like I may have to go through the Pleasant Hills book. Is the Pleasant Hills the preferred rulebook?

Pleasant Hills is a modified rules system for a post-apocalypse game. Rubicon, Dragons Hearth, and Silver's Glory play on the Heroic One Rules system. There was an update to the rules this week that will go into effect after this weekend. It hasn't been uploaded to the website yet, but I will be doing that this evening.

You don't need to worry about having a character sheet put together before the event. We have a New Player Liaison that will be able to help you put together a character at the game.

Thanks for that info! I may try to hit up your April event then for the straight fantasy RP.

Also, if you are interested in making the Nebraska events, usually carpooling is an option. If you are interested in fantasy games, Rubicon is a steampunk/fantasy game, and Dragons Hearth (2015 event dates TBA) is a fantasy game as well.

Also, you can always NPC, which is great practice for how the rules work. Also, less prep time for you, and you can just show up and play. I totally understand wanting to bring in a character and play too.
Some (all?) of the games have really good benefits for NPCing too. Regardless, I look forward to meeting you when I meet you, Greg.

Chelsea here! New Player Liason for the Nebraska games. Your sister and brother-in-law probably saw a group of Sunday Amtgard-ers. We've actually had a few of them come play at our events, and I've gone to a couple of their weekend excursions. As far as the Nebraska chapters go, if you find yourself driving up to the Big Red state for an event, let me know.

Oh! And if enough Lincolnites request it, I'll be setting up a Build Day for new and old players to make costuming, construct weapons, practice fighting techniques, and generally get to know each other. I know it'll be a drive for you, but if you're interested, give me a heads up.

Hello Role-players,
A friend and I were told to look up your group, and are thinking about coming to your June meeting to see how everything works. We are both new to in-person role play, but have done it online. Can you tell me where you will be meeting, and what we might need to know for our first time? (I have looked at all the previous threads about this, of course.) Thanks so much, we hope to meet you all soon!
Abbie (and Rob)

Hi Abbie and Rob! I'm an NPL for the Silver's Glory game and am happy to answer any questions you may have =) The event will be held at Camp Hammond Tecumseh, KS 66542. There is a sign on the road that will point you down the right driveway so its a bit easier to find. The event starts Friday night and last till Sunday morning when we pack up and leave site. Normally after the game some of us get together to eat and hang out outside of the event. As far as what you need to know for your first time, we will provide an excellent tavern service for the weekend for $10 and that covers dinner friday, all meals saturday, and normally some snacks in between. The menu is posted on here and on the Facebook event. We do have showers on site as well as cabins (not climate controlled).
