Vet Larper, newly arrived to Jersey

Hi all,

I'm John (sometimes called Jack). I recently--ie less than a week--moved to Newark from western Ohio. I've played in several games out in Ohio/Indiana and KR was highly recommended to me. Thus, I want to join the game!

I moved to Newark to start a PhD at Rutgers, so I'm not exactly sure how much free time I'm likely to have but I feel the need to swing some foam.

That being said, I want to attend the Sept game to get my feet under me about how KR 'works'. I've already read most of the various rule books so I've got a good understanding of the mechanics.

It sounds like I need to be on-site by 8 pm for new player training? Is that correct? Any other events I need to attend? Is it a problem if I don't NPC crew the entire weekend, ie leave early? (I'll build a PC later once I get a better understanding of the game world.)

(On that note, if anyone has any suggestions about concepts/builds they'd like to see in game please PM me. I brought a basic kit with me: clothes, boots, chianmail & leather armor, shield, two swords and two spears)

One question I do have relates to armor proficiency, can anyone wear any armor they can phyrep?

Thanks and I look forward to meeting all of you!

Welcome! If it is possible, please do be here for new player training. As a vet larper, you will find some of it obvious, but it might help define some specifics about our game. As far as if you are NPCing for the weekend and you need to leave sometime on Saturday, that will be fine. You are giving a service to the game your whole time here. Just let James know when you check in. As far as armour goes, if you have the phys rep when you come into game, you will get an armour card. Otherwise you need a smith IG to 'make it'.

Hi, I'm Jeremy, and I am not a New Player Marshal, but I'm here to help if you need it. I recommend showing up a little bit earlier so you can get situated, if you are PCing, I would try to show up very early to get a good place to sleep. They would be fine with you leaving early from NPCing the whole weekend. Can't wait to meet you!

Hello John!

My name's Justin, and I'm a New Player Marshall here at KR. I would also recommend getting up there as early as possible to claim a bed.

New Player Training typically starts around 9 these days, but you'll need to be up earlier to check in so we can make a card up for you. (Even if you're NPCing, you'll get a card so we can track your Service Points, and RP points for when you PC.)

You can wear any armor you have a phys-rep for. As Mike said, if you have the phys-reps when you come into came, you will get cards for them.

If you have any other questions feel free to post them here, and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Welcome, and I look forward to running from/getting killed by your many NPCs.

Cool thanks all.

I'll try to show up while there is still a good amount of light left to get a lay of the land. Is there a time that would be 'to early' to arrive? I'm assuming there are directions around here somewhere.

To clarify: any profession can wear any armor, as long as you're phyreping it and have the necessary IG cards and smith-actions to to give it AP. (I think I'm stating that correctly!)

Not bad. I think too early is like 2, but I'm not exactly sure. I live a distance away from the camp, so I show up around 6ish to 7, but I plan to show up at 5 for this event.
