Players in Washington, DC?

[Players in Washington, DC?]

 I had not seen it, thank you.

Hopefully the poster is still active a year later; I sent him an email.

 I was just thinking of getting started, too, but was wondering if it was worth it here.

I live in Alexandria, and apparently it is!

I've played one and a half games, but just with the Core Set and three players per game.

I'll send you an email, too.

I posted in a meta I found for the Northern VA/DC/southern MD region, but I'm looking for something a bit more specific: people who are Metro-accessible within the DC area.

I'm feeling out if there are other players around before I invest in the whole nine yards of deck-building, because if I'm just playing the Core set with my friends, there's no real point.

I hope there's multiple someones out there and interested!

I'm looking for other people in the Alexandria, VA, and DC area who play AGoT.  I've only got a game and a half under my belt, but the whole deck-building thing looks like it'd be fun.

Are there other Metro-accessible players in the region?

[What does the Ally keyword mean?]

 Thanks for the quick responses!

I was preparing to have some friends over to try out the Core Set for the first time, and I wanted to be ready if something came up.

Not sure if I'll go the hardcore route or simply play the Core Set as a game in itself yet, but I had a lot of fun despite being utterly destroyed.

Again, thanks for the help.

[What does the Ally keyword mean?]

 I think there must surely be a way to look this up, but I haven't found it yet.  And I've tried.

What does the keyword Ally signify?  It's in the Core Set on The Hound, but it's not explained in the core rules.
