First Event in April

Spring weather at the camp is weird. It can be very warm to hot during the daytime (especially running around in costume) to very cool/cold at night (some folks put on thermals & wear cloaks). Best advice was posted by some of our great players & staff all ready... socks, change of clothes in case of mud (& there will be mud. No escaping it), bedding (sleeping bag is ok, but the more IG you make your sleeping area look, the better), & food. There's some supermarkets & stores a minutes away from the campsite, so procuring snacks & such shouldn't be difficult if you forget or make last minute decisions to get sustenance.

Socks. Good thick hiking socks if you have 'em...I honestly prefer quality over quantity in my footwear.
And good boots, if you can...do remember that you will likely be running around a campsite and through the woods.
For spring, layers usually tend to be the way to go--either IG layers like cloaks, or thermals and warm clothing under your costume. And multiple layers...mud is a given, and rain happens--there's nothing worse than having to run around in soaked underlayers!
Snack food that you can eat on the go and shove in a pouch or pocket is a personal favorite of mine (I hate being hungry!)
And for the cheesy bit...a willingness to have fun running around and playing a character for a weekend

White and blue headbands! I always forget mine, and subsequently feel like a total lemon all weekend. Don't let the same happen to you!

Thanks again! We've LARPed before, so we definitely have the willingness to run around all weekend in character!

We'll stock up on socks and snacks and what not. Unfortunately our bedding and supplies won't be as IC as we would like this weekend, as some of the stuff couldn't necessarily get in time, but we have costume and gear and will be upgrading our equipment as we go.

A question on props - If my character is a crafter: Healing Potions, most likely. What works well for props for these that isn't too expensive?


I just realized my signature wasn't on the earlier ones for some reason:

OOC: Jason M.

It seems like everyone else has hit on the out of game needs to be prepared, so if there is anything concerns you have about in game preparedness like character history or the like I would be happy to help. Just pm me. Also, welcome to the Knight Realms community!

Failing that I've always found good deals and exactly what I've needed at Michaels stores.
