Hey

Hey, my name's Lukas. I've heard of this place through some friends here at Purchase, and it's always something I've kinda wanted to try.

I don't have any experience with LARP, but I have some basic gear that definitely gets me excited to take part. And I have experience with tabletops and such.

I have a character in mind and I've written him up, I'm thinking a rogue will be just right, I just now have to figure out the OOG stuff like how to actually get there and how important the weather is. Because we definitely have a lot of snow right now.

So yeah, just thought I'd introduce myself. And any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Lukas my name is Sean and I am a new player marshal.
Weather is the most important part to prepare for. Right now it's super cold. Bring extra layers of socks and under garments. It makes a world of difference.
If you have any questions let us know. Will you be joining us this coming weekend?

For this event especially, if you think you have enough socks, bring another four pairs. If you think you have enough blankets, pack one more. It's going to be bitter this weekend, so the key is staying warm. There's going to be plenty of people around to help you out, myself included. If you want to touch base with me on anything character related before the event, feel free. Welcome to the game!

Hey! I'm Onca, a new player marshal like the two already posted here. If you are coming down later with some Purchase folks, let me know if you need some help after lay-on with your card!

I'm glad to help with Shadowy stuff, too. We generally recommend if you want to play a rogue, you keep it quiet, just in case someone accidentally metagames. If you'd like to talk more rogue stuff, please PM me or feel free to find one of us marshals on Friday night.

To reiterate from above - costuming is awesome, warmth is better. If you need anything at all, I usually have spares (scarf, hat, etc.) and remember layers layers layers.

Travel safely!

HELL YEA, PURCHASE.

Bring more socks.
If you think you've brought enough, you haven't.
SOCKS.

Onca is right about the rogue stuff, keep it on the DL as best you can.


Invest in good boots
Bring snacks for midnight cravings and for sharing with new friends (food is a godsend at 2am, everyone loves someone with snacks)
Bring extra socks
Wear layers, wool or synthetic. Not cotton, never cotton, cotton bad, booo cotton.
Don't forget a pillow, sheets, blankets, etc. not having pillow is sadmaking.
Bring extra socks.
Bring black clothes for your NPC shift. Sometimes people forget, but that's a big one.
And more socks.

PURCHASE!

Stay warm, being lots of socks, and have fun.

And if you need a ride from the Purchase area just ask!
