Signing in Washington D.C. (McLean, VA) on 8/1

Oh, uh. On the topic of playing the RPG with everybody, there may be one small problem. My group has sort of been interpreting the rules as best we can, but not as should probably be interpreted. So, we may be playing radically different games...

Considering that I've heard that Jim himself will change the rules if he doesn't like them I think we'll be OK. Unless of course there is a "Rules Lawyer" in the group, then we may be in for some issues. However, this is supposed to be a fun exciting day (centered around Harry) so hopefully no one will take themselves too seriously. And if they do we should refer to them as "Morgan" for the duration.
Also, it looks like there will be quite a few of us. When it gets a bit closer we might want to pick a restaurant and make some reservations. Frankly, inspite of being in TCCII, I think Maggianos is looking really good. Speaking of which, how many are in your group GK?

The way I understand it, the creators of the game have every intent for the players of the game to play the game according to rules that the "table" finds enjoyable. Here's an example of Iago's (the guy most responsible for the DFRPG, and the owner of these forums) perspective on the topic.
--- Quote from: iago on March 15, 2011, 08:19:55 PM ---Hey, folks. I've had a few people from the forum email me directly asking for an official word on Lawbreaking. We hate doing official word stuff in general, because we believe in folks getting to own their own version of the setting with each campaign. [snip]

[/snip]It's your table. Figure it out on your own so you're all happy. Talk honestly, openly, and clearly. Mind the fun. That's what matters. But remember:
This forum isn't about just one table. That means what works at your table might not work at someone else's. That doesn't make your table wrong, and it also doesn't make their table wrong. So quit acting like either is the case. This is a big tent. Make some room for each other, and focus on the areas where you agree.

I live in the Northern VA area and have been to Tysons more than a few times.
That entire section/wing of the mall is a newer addition. There are a lot of restaurants right in that wing. That wing is also where the movie theater is, so its usually pretty heavy in foot traffic so they have large open/communion areas on each floor.
There is a Coastal Flats and Gordon Biersch on the first floor. A Fridays on either the 2nd or 3rd floor. And a few other eateries all right there.
In my opinion, the Gordon Biersch or Fridays would both be good places to meet up before the signing. Both have bar areas that will be easier to coordinate the initial meeting up and both are less than 3 minutes from the B&N.
For post-signing, the Tysons area has a lot of bars/restaurants inside and outside of the mall itself.
I'd be happy to help coordinate pre or post meetup venues and be a local contact for anyone coming from out of town.
