Thanks for the info @Tao Tsê-Mungand @Kampfer! This is very useful information for an interested player like me. I really appreciate it.
A change of plans, we're not available to play today. However, would it be cool if my friend and I came by around 4:30ish today? Not to play, but to just talk and prepare for another time to come by and get some more info in person. We can talk about all the basics I'll need to be prepared for my first game. It sounds like we'd be talking with you, @ImperialTrooper. If for some reason this doesn't work for you, just let me know. I'll try to check this forum frequently today. Otherwise, We'll show up around 4:30-4:45 to check it out!
Thanks so much!
