The Bay Area Masquerade

I have one in maroon and gold-ish that's large enough.

I'm happy to help either way, but do you plan on doing a lot of the setup before game on or after? I'm cool leaving my old tables and thrift store tablecloths near the library during listen up if it means that I have some more time to get dressed before court begins.

Should I bring some tablecloths, too? I have them in varying sizes, including long enough to cover large plastic tables. I also have some large LED candles, but I don't know if those would fit into your décor concept.

I have two small tables and two folding chairs I can bring.

I personally tend to go more free-form with my characters. I have a concept, enough backstory to answer the basic questions (who are you? what do you do?), and an idea of their personality and mannerisms, and then I jump into game and make the rest up as I go.

I don't think under-18s should be able to play without written, informed, and explicit parental consent. Not sure about needing a parent/designated guardian there, that depends on the legalities of the situation and local curfew laws. With parental consent, I'd put the minimum at fifteen or sixteen....

I can pay gas, plus ride karma that can be redeemed once my car is fixed, if that helps?

I have a ride to game, but thanks to a car being in the shop, it'll be tricky for me to get a ride home. By any chance, is there someone heading up the Peninsula after game? I live in Redwood City, about halfway between 101 and 280.
