Hi, I'm buying into this game, and I was wondering if there were any players in the Northern Virginia (more specifically, Springfield) area. I play at Curio Cavern, and I'm interested in getting things together for game nights and the like. First though, I'd like to learn a little bit more about how to play, and the finer points of the game. Hoping somebody around here wouldn't mind helping me out.

Myself and Dracu1a have been playing in Ashburn.

I live in Alexandria, VA, about 10min from Curio Cavern. I have been in there a few times and have asked if they have anyone playing Thrones, as I have seen a bit of stock each time I went in. I would be happy to meet up for a game sometime.

You're welcome to join up with us the next time we meet. Email me at ach(dot)dan /gmail

I'm interested in getting other people to learn to play Game of Thrones, and if anybody would like to help me teach, that'd be most appreciated. I'd like to do Saturdays in September, and I already have a small handful of people who'd like to learn more about the game. Unfortunately, given my new-ness, I'm still struggling to figure out optimal teaching methods. I use the video from FFG's support page quite a bit, but there's some things missing from that video (duplicates, keywords, Shadows crest stuff, Seasons).

Any help would be appreciated. Especially since I'm still a little fuzzy on some of those things myself.

This guy has no idea what he just stepped into

Actually, that may not be accurate in this case. Well, he still may not know, but it may fit well.

Yeah, deep6er may actually be a good replacement for Steve.

I'm reasonably confident no one will ever replace Steve.

~Wait, did Steve win something this year? I already forgot...

This is funny and cold guys! I am here all alone in San Fran now and you are already trying to replace me =[

I'll mop you guys up at worlds with the new meta I am creating

San Fran. Meta of one.

San Fran - everyone that plays is at least an overall champion. Seems like a strong meta!

kr4ng - I still want to play you the week of the 9/7 when I'm in the bay area...

Just want to say that I'm kind of surprised by the outpouring of support that I've received. Didn't really know what to expect, but it was definitely not this. I appreciate all the various tips and information that was given. Very excited to start playing games with some of you very soon!

I'm hoping that Saturday, September seventh works out okay for everyone. I've been passing word out that there'll be a handful of people for A Game of Thrones that weekend.

Oh, btw, to answer your question about teaching methods, I found Universal Head's abridged rules and reference sheets to be very helpful for teaching noobs.

there is a small group of us that play in Gainesville at Outpost Comics and Gaming on Monday nights. a few of us are new to the game, but have bought into the game heavily to try and catch up with everyone else.

Yes let's set that up. I have your email so I'll email you.
