New Player (Plan to Join in June)

Hi, this is Alphonsus(OOG) aka Alphonium.  I'm interested in joining this world of KR.  I'm friends with Ninjin, Magnus, and their group.

I had that promo card and just got me into it.  I already drafted up my main and alt;

Main: Alphonium; Dryad Healer
Alt: Dolrend; Bedouin Thief (or Spy)

Just looking for some tips trying to make outfits and where to get some brown/green body paint.

I'm looking forward to my first event!

Hello Alphonsus!

I too play a dryad, and through some tinkering have found a rather effective means of staying green throughout the weekend.

There is a water- activated body paint called paradise. It lays on well and can be slept in with minimal color loss.  I make sure to tone it down with some white and green mixed so as not to be mistaken for a goblin (though it still happens) and for the glitter, any glitter that sprays in the hair can be sprayed on skin and stay for awhile.  Im also told Ben Nye water- activated works well. just do not use mehron color cups or any liquid or creme makeup for extended wear, it comes off easily and does not lay on the skin evenly. and it makes you break out more.

as far as costuming? find a really big salvation army and/or goodwill.  expensive yet worth it?  moresca garb. anyways I look forward to meeting you in June and I hope this helps!

I constanatly wave the Salvation Army/Goodwill Flag.  Look within a twenty mile area of where you live and maybe "Forage once a month just to find "Treasures

Look in the Large womens sections for tunic type stuff.  My wife just found an actual Medievalclothes.com Wench skirt for $5

Always look for steins, mugs, goblets, wooden dishes etc.

Hello Alphonium,
I second the used clothing store idea for garb, but if you're budget can spend more, there are several players and such associated with KR who make custom clothes, with me being one of them    I'm somewhat backed up right now between the end of the school year madness, some other commissions and parental health care needs, but being a teacher, I've got a summer's worth of sewing time coming up soon!  My goal is to provide KR players with well-made garb at reasonable prices; there's a of folks who wear my garments who I'm fairly confident will vouch for me.  If you're interested, feel free to PM me.  Thanks.

I unequivocably vouch for the quality the mistress purports  I have bought several from "the Seamstress" as well as others. She makes outstanding pieces

I might switch my main and alt characters for my first event so Alphonium will be my alt and Dolrend will be my main.

Just a suggestion - do not tell us that your character is a rogue class.

Can we like, make that a sticky? I'm getting a permanent handprint from all the /facepalms.

Speak to James about policy.  All I know is not to comment on the rules and I have just a touch of common sense.  Telling people you are a rogue class is begging to be questioned on any missing items. Hey, maybe I ...

Just a suggestion - do not tell us that your character is a rogue class. 

(example)

-you to a random citizen-

you: Hi Imma Rogue!

-blank stare from citizen-

Citizens mind: *this guy is a killer or theif, I should watch him, and tell all my friends that he is a bad person*

-walks away-

hey, he's learning.

and also and also and also....play the dryad.

**PEER PRESSURE!**

Ignore the silly, but cute green girl, Al. Good luck playing your character. I'll make sure you don't die a horrible, painful, just all around awful death. Promise.

Does a spy count as a rogue class?

I've been back and forth, cause I usually don't play a rogue class, so if I were to be a spy, you'd hear me from a mile away.  So I guess I would fare better in the healing category.

EDIT: Oy, I got sidetracked.  I can't make it to this June's event because I have my brother's graduation party and my mom's birthday in the same weekend.

I apologize can't make it to June, so for definite, I'll be in July, green skin and all. 

Spies don't have to be quiet, so much as observant and socially adept.  Some spies are noisy, because it throws people off.  They still listen in on other people, notice clues, or do spy stuff when other people aren't around to hear them.

That said, it is probably not conducive to being a successful spy to let people know that you are a spy .

The same goes for Anti-Paladins, True Warlocks, Necromancers, and any other similar class where the less known about your goings-on, the better.

Except Anti-Paladins, True Warlocks, and Necromancers are for all intents, killed on sight.

Except Anti-Paladins, True Warlocks, and Necromancers are for all intents, will kill you on sight.

Fixed. 

In all seriousness... whether your class/profession leans towards a direction or gets a bad rep, best bet is to not let anyone know what you are.  Also... there's no rule that says warriors, acrobats, or bards have to be good-aligned.

Hello.  I'm a new member as well and will definately be coming to the June event.  I'm really looking forward to joining the game, but I'm not going to lie.  I'm also extremely nervous.

Selene,

Please don't be nervous.  Be excited.  I guarantee you that this group is filled with some of the most wonderful folks that have ever walked into my life.  If you are concerned with physical harm beleive me I'm rather fragile and I come home ok every time.  If you're worried about fitting in then all I can say is a repeat of what I started saying in this post.

This group is filled with some of the most wonderful folks that have every walked into my life.

  Bar none.

  I am going to agree with Leslie 100% here.  There is no reason to be nervous; just remember that there are 100+ other people out there all dressed just as wierd or even wierder than you are. And they are all there to have as much fun being wierd as they can. I can almost guarantee that 3 hours into the event you will be wondering why it took you so long to start playing.

 

Like I told my last wife, I said "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides, it's all in the reflexes."

Thank you both so much.  I'm still a little bit nervous, but I'm extremely excited.  I have a feeling that you both will be right and I will probably end up falling in love with it.

Hello, and welcome to the game, and the community!

One thing we do ask is that you sign your posts with your Real (OOG) name - that way, we all get to know each other better in real life, not just in the game.

Thank you!

I'm sorry about that.  I'm still trying to figure out how to edit my profile information.

OOG: Andrea Grossman

No worries - the easiest way to do it is to add it to your Signature.  You should be able to access it here:

www.knightrealms.com/forums/index.php?ac...&u=3&sa=forumProfile

Selene, I'm also brand new to this as well (unfortunately I'm going to go to the July event because I got graduation and birthday party in the same weekend as the June); I think we'll get by just fine.  Hopefully.

Another good habit to get into is to call people by their real name on the OOG forums.

For instance, "Selene" is Andrea's character's name.

Hah, I didn't realize until just this moment that was you Andrea (you hadn't told me your characters name last time I saw this post). Funny, because I thought it sounded a lot like you....

Hey all, this is my best friend of 16 years Andrea, and the very first newblet I'm bringing to the game! Everybody be nice to her!

And be sure to compliment her often on her very nice shoes. I'm sure that will help her feel very welcome and relaxed .
