Introduction

Hello everyone. My name is Joseph Trybus. I will be coming to my fist every tomorrow. I heard about knight realms from a friend at work and I cant wait to get started. I am starting as a cleric for my first event.

Any tips will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe T

Bring warm thermals. It's probably going to be really cold this weekend! Under layers are your friend, change them as often as you need to and beware wet socks

Hi Joseph! I hope you are looking forward to kr. I'm Jeremy and I suggest bringing extra socks. Especially wool socks. As it gets colder you want to stay as warm as possible.

Don't be afraid to roleplay. Do what you feel your character would do, and have fun. Don't worry, we don't bite.

Welcome to KR!

First off, welcome!

Like Abby/Thalia said, definitely bring warm clothing. Standard cold weather stuff. Pack extra clothing within reason, in case anything gets too wet. Socks are important!

There are a bunch of new player marshals at the site who will help you build your characters stats, so don't worry about that too much. There are a few ways to play a cleric mechanically at low levels (healing, offensive melee, defensive melee, for starters).
More importantly (in my opinion), think about your character, not your class! You'll be spending a weekend in the shoes of another person, so make sure it's someone you can have fun as. Don't worry if you decide you'd much rather play as another type of character after the first event, you have a few events to make your decision.

Lastly, don't be afraid to get involved and talk to people. We're all in together, and in-game socializing makes the game go round. If you see a group of people hanging around at the bar, buy 'em a drink! Or ask them to buy one for you!
If you've got any questions at game, look for me, the long-haired guy who will probably playing the harp. If I can't answer them, I can definitely direct you to those that can!

Hi Joseph! I'm Christine, a New Player Marshal. I'm really excited you're coming out to game, this is gearing up to be a really awesome event! However, it is going to be really cold. Especially because it's your first game, stay warm before worrying about costuming. My first event was January a few years ago, so I learned firsthand all the things you shouldn't do when larping in the winter (not wear enough layers, not drink enough water, not have enough socks...). I'd recommend making sure you have a warm sleeping bag and plenty of layers to wear-my favorite trick is fuzzy PJ pants underneath my costume to help stay warm.

As far as being in game goes, have fun with it! Don't be afraid to talk to people or ask questions! If all else fails and you're really nervous (like I was when I first came), volunteer to bartend! You'll get to know names and faces, and that makes everything easier.
If you have any questions about making a character or how the deities work, feel free to PM me and I'll do my best to answer them.

See you tomorrow!

Hi Joseph!

My names Michaela, and I play a Cleric of Valos. I'll be looking forward to meeting you tonight, as it's always good to have new members of the church. Feel free to ask the new player marshals if you have any questions, cause they're all really nice people.

And like everyone else said, bring lots of dry clothes(and make sure to stay hydrated and eat food!)
