Hi,
I'm thinking of starting a family friendly gaming session in Chantilly, VA (just South of Dulles Airport). I'm fairly open to system, can do AnyE DnD or Pathfinder (can also do Traveller if anyone does that anymore); willing to let others DM/GM as desired. We have 2 not-yet-old-enough-to-RPG girls, so bringing kids to play with them would be welcome.
My thoughts on style: Pizza and drinks style gaming, with continuity and flexible "Oops, can't make it" contigency options to keep the game flowing as Life Happens(tm).
If there is any interest, let me know.
I've been looking for a game, preferably 3.5/Pathfinder, ever since I got back into the area (I'm in Fairfax City). I don't have the time/energy to DM, but would certainly be interested in playing.
Hi! Good to meet you (online at least). We just got in the area also. Email me at dlatimer at usc dot edu (my old school account) and we can arrange to meet over coffee or something (meet my family, say 'hi' and the like)
Looks like we will be playing on 17 August, from 1-5pm, at Game Parlor in Chantilly, VA (gameparlor.com).
Pathfinder Beta Rules (when they come out of the 14th, I'll post the specifics for character creation), not doing the organized play rules yet. Adventure TBD (depends on interest and how many show up), but will chose a 1st level module. I'm going to prep one adventure for 3-4 players and one for 5-6. I'm open for nominations.
If anyone is interested in GM'ing Pathfinder, I'd like to get a regular Pathfinder Society play going (2/month at least) and I'd prefer to only GM one. My home, family-friendly game will hopefully grow out of people from these sessions.
If you're not at GenCon, then maybe have some gaming this coming weekend with us down here in Virginia!
I'd be interested in playing, if you've got room. I'd also be willing to help out with GMing duties, if things work out. Email is faxsemmar at gmail dot com, if you'd like to get in contact that way.
Excellent - that makes 2 now!
Based on the reading of the Beta rules, here's the suggestion for Sunday's game:
- 20 point buy (tables 2-1 through 2-3)
- First level (0 XP)
- Any character class out of the PF Beta RPG Book
- Any race out of the PF Beta RPG Book
- Non-evil characters only
- Racial HP (pg 14) max hp + con bonus + racial HP in side bar
- Start with Average Wealth (table 7-1)
General principals:
- No PvP (it is up to the players to figure out an in game reason to be on the same side)
- Players can develop backstory that helps keep them focused on the adventure at hand (pass notes to me if there is something I may need to develop to keep your interest).
- The module will provide some backstory, but as to how the group met, we'll briefly discuss that between the players when we arrive (likely a Pathfinder expedition?)
Likely modules are LB1, D0, and TC1. Are there any preferences? Anyone played/read those modules yet?
I'd love to play, but weekends aren't good for me. Any chance of Friday evenings?
For reference, I'm in Sterling.

Hi Torillan! Based on the travel times for folks, and the game store closing at 10pm, weeknights would be hard (starting after 6pm to allow for travel for folks from work). I live close enough so that wouldn't be a problem for me, but I don't know about the others. If enough people want to switch for a weeknight (preferably not Friday though, so that weekend family travel can still happen), I'm game.
For now, we're going to be trying for twice monthly, so that the weekend load isn't too bad (and be flexible as to which Sundays).
Right now, folks are generating new characters (same rules as above) to start the Second Darkness AP.
Hi balterk_n,
Are you still accepting players? I am new to the area (Silver Spring, MD) and am looking for a gaming group. Also how old are the two girls that need playmates? I have a 4 year old son that would enjoy some company.
