New - Looking / Lurking about

Postby Kiora » Sun May 25, 2014 5:53 pm

Hi there. I was interested in perhaps getting into amtguard. Is there a facebook page I could lurk about on or is it mainly forums? I tried to simply search it out but wasn't able to pull anything up successfully. :oops:

General Amtgard: https://www.facebook.com/groups/222753014406145/
Westmarch (AKA Amtgard for most California parks, plus one in Nevada) https://www.facebook.com/groups/Westmarch/

There's lots of facebook groups for local groups too.

Better than lurking is showing up at a park.

Around where do you live?

Santa Rosa, so I'm rather close to this chapter.

That's the plan, I'll probably at very least drive by the park this next Saturday. If my fancy gets properly tickled and I get the urge to jump in is there anything I should know / bring other than water?

Also if this isn't too forward, I'm free for most of the day today (yay Memorial day weekend) so if someone wanted to meet up to talk about the game I'd be super interested (will also bribe with Cold Stone from RP.)

You want Seven Sleeping Dragons then:

viewforum.php?f=7

I'd post there and check their website. I don't believe SSD has a facebook page.

Umm I don't think that's the case.
San Luis Obispo is So Cal (About an 8 hour drive for me). I believe that my chapter in theory would be the Duchy of Crimson Wood - Rohnert Park, CA. Is this not the right board to be posting in? If so my apologies.

While SSD is awesome, Crimson Wood is the correct option for someone living in Santa Rosa if you're not able to teleport.

Hope you get in touch with someone from CW, I grew up playing with those peeps and they are all the greatest. There's less fighting than most CA parks, but more roleplay type stuff. Would recommend going on Saturday at 11 or 12 and meeting the folks!

Hello Kiora,
Welcome, Crimsonwood would love to have you stop by. There are some great people that will answer all of your questions and you won't have to bring anything for the game, we have loaner gear and I always have an extra sword or shield with me.
Our game requires a waiver so if you are under 18 you will need an adult to sign, other than that we hope you stop by and have a great time.
