Hello! Recently listened to some podcasts about Empire Larp over in the UK and really wanted to get in on any sort of larp action I can get my grubby newbie hands on. Found Alliance SF is the closest and wanted to start doing some research on the game!
Some background. Got into D&D about five years ago through Critical Role and was hooked on it ever since. Been a GM of a 5th edition game for the past couple years but still consider myself new to tabletop gaming. As both player and Dungeon Master, I was never too big on the mechanics and creating efficient, nigh-unstoppable NPCs/PCs but prided myself in well-rounded characters, detailed backstories and good roleplay (getting a BA in Theatre Arts didn't hurt either).
Read most of the Rulebook but skipped over a lot of the combat and weapon construction (not big on crafts). I'll go back and get more familiar with it but I don't plan on doing a lot of combat or building my own weapons. Eagerly reading through the Player Guide right now and loving it.
Per the Rulebook's suggestion, I wanted to start as an NPC for a few day events and maybe even one weekend event before making my first character--I learn more from experience and seeing things in action and hope to learn a lot from these first games. Of course, this won't be for awhile considering the current situation-that-must-not-be-named. However I feel that reading up and learning a few things from talking to all of you will help me pass the time in a productive manner (at least for my larp IQ).
Looking forward to learning lots. I am in your care!
