Full Event NPCing

So, I asked about character card format and got the answer that there is no official format. So, do you allow players to design their own cards or do you just provide one and write it down however you want? Also, what exactly do you need to get signed off on?
Thanks,
Jason

On your first event you will be given a card with a lot of blanks one it - with the help of a Rules marshal you will get it filled out by hand (best if you have an idea of what skills you want and such ahead of time) and at the end of the event you will turn it in to the box in Logistics, after which the character chard officer will update it into the database and print you out a nice typed version for the next event you attend.  You then turn in the card each month so that your build and skills and what not can be updated.

Every player needs to have their NPC duty signed off by the Monster marshal they do their required four hours for (or more depending on your situation), as well as get a signature or stamp for paying for the event at signin from the director, and everyone needs to have their sleeping space signed off as clean and do a camp clean-up assignment as well.  The card is also used for recording things like earned service points, role-play points, and so forth.

Ok, could I create my own un-official card for the tracking of skills and such? Just for easier tracking if I don't like the format.

Yes, however keep in mind you will still need to carry the official Knight Realms Character Card on you at all times, as well as record and update the official Knight Realms Character Card with all appropriate logistical signatures and In-Game notes (such as points used, protections cast on you, skills used, etc.).  Though you can have this 'unofficial' card as a tool to help you, it does not replace the official card given to you.

I'm going to step in and override Damien on this one - you may NOT use your own format for the card.  The reason for this is that skill usage, buffs, debuffs, life effects, and deaths are all marked on the official card.  The presence of an unofficial card will lead to confusion if a card check is called.

Just an FYI... currently, there is no way for a player to look at his/her own card in between events or get copies at the moment.  Also, there is NO copy machine/printer at the event site.  So when you get your card, you can copy it manually and take home the hand-written copy.
