Interested in Playing

Hey everyone. My name's Dave but some of you might know me from the Avatar Larp as the player behind Angus McQ. I'm pretty interested in participating in KR, but like any new player I have a few questions. I won't be able to attend until the fall, but it should give me ample time to create a character.

1. If commoner is chosen as the starting profession, allowing the player an additional 10 Build, can the full 20 Build be used off the bat.

2. Are there different levels of specific trade proficiency, e.g. baker? Under the commoner list under restrictions it lists a max of 4 per trade. Could some examples be given?

3. What's public transportation like around these campsites? Any bus/train stations in a nearby radius?

4. I couldn't find anywhere the rules concerning firearms or modern computerware. Is it me or does this game not have any?

Thanks, Dave

Hi Dave...

3. I do know that the NJ location of Camp Sacajawea closest transport hub is the NJ Transit Dover station.  I used to take the train to that station and someone would pick me up from there for a 10 minute drive to the camp site.  There are also a number of taxi sesrvices that can take you to the camp site from thet train station, but it costs like $30 or so.

4. If you mean IG firearms or IG computerware, there is none.  We are a fantasy genre game, much in the vein of D&D and LotR.

Number 4 was a joke. A bit like dry ice in its humor.

You would be surprised Dave... people have asked that kind of thing, and been serious.

Hope to see you there soon!

Regarding your first two questions:

1. Yes.

2. Trade Proficiency is listed on the character card as Trade Proficiency +1. If you buy more, the number after the + goes up and that's the only distinction in that department. Each purchase of the skill grants you more commodity cards for the Trade skill that you have taken Trade Proficiency in.

Sorry for the delay in responding; it looks like your joke derailed everyone... 

I can wait to see you IG Dave... btw no drinking during this game... it's the exact opposite of what we do during avatar.
