noob

Hey I'm john I'm new to the larping I have alot of questions I know I want to be npc the first event don't know what I need to bring and who to talk to to get started I want to start asap

Well hello John,
My name is Sean and I am one of the many new player marshall that will answer all your questions.
What to bring, important questions: for NPCing please bring black clothes and warm under layers.
For your own personal comfort: extra socks (they will get wet), sleeping blanket, pillow, blanket, toiletries, and medical supplies you need (medicine, epypen[sp]), extra snacks.
Thats it for your first event. We will give you everything else. We will get all the new people together to train and talk to you guys to make sure you know what is going on as best we can.
We look forward to meeting you and welcome aboard.

There should be some new player marshals that will let themselves be known to you on this thread who are dedicated to helping you out and answering your questions. I'm just posting here to say that I suggest taking a look the core Rulebook. I don't suggest using it to answer your questions on your own. I do suggest looking for the answer in the rulebook, and then having it clarified with a rules marshal.

I'll link it for you right here;
www.knightrealms.com/documents/rulebook/...s-rulebook-core.html

I hope this helps you out in a way. Welcome to Knight Realms :)

Not a marshal, but as a newish player myself, I'll mention very soecific things I either wish I had, or was glad to have:

-chapstick (especially something for cold/windburn)
-waterproof shoes (love my leather Sandlars)
-water bottles (for late night thirst, hand in hand with midnight munchies)
-a down blanket (which I slept in like a happy burrito)

And have fun! You can always OOG ask people for help or clarification at almost any time. If you aren't having fun, you aren't doing it right

Thanks guys I read the rule book there's alot but got most of it and do I need to pay for anything like register fees or anything if I'm not being a pc

Hey! I'm Jen, and I yell at people to bring moar socks!

Sean hit everything pretty solidly:
Good water proof boots, more socks than you'll ever need, snacks for days, and pillow/sheet/blankets!

The chapstick suggestion and waterbottle are also super solid.
We do have showers, so if you want to bring toiletries, you can.

Remember, if you're NPC'ing, plain black clothes are A+ with thermal layers.

MOAR SOCKS.

See you soon!

How many people usually show up for an event just trying to grasp how big this is

Hey! Names Conor and I'm also a new player marshal. Numbers vary but the average, even for a cold weekend, in the winter is somewhere between 75-125 or so. In the summer we can see In the range of 150-200 or more. The 0 degree event in Febuary we still had 50 people.
Any questions let me know by shooting me a private message or posting here.

Unless Conor, you count the record amount of players we saw last month!

Ok I read most of everything don't mean I under stand it but I'm making a sword and wanted to put a small hanging Cain from the hilt would this be ok or no it is a foam sword

Can you put a picture of it up here John? I think it might help the marshals answer you better.

My first time building so all help will be great I still need to tape it

Hey. While I am a new player marshal I am also a Logistics Marshal. My main concern would be the chain whipping someone, you or someone else. I'd have to actually see the length of the chain, how it's attached etc. but that's my two cents.

No, sir. It doesn't cost you anything to be an NPC, only your time.

Don't worry about knowing anything at all. We will teach you everything that you need. So just bring yourself and we will get you all learned up.

This coming event will be my third time. You're going to have a blast. Everyone there is extremely helpful so don't be nervous. Just come with a good attitude and be ready to throw yourself into a huge adventure.

Hey it is john im going to try to make it out to the next event and was wondering as a bpc how much it would coast

NPCing is free.

Typically Connor is right, most weapons can be evaluated on site to see if they are safe, however I would not feel comfortable as Marshal having a chain dangling from a weapon. If any side of that comes loose its going to hurt.

Hello names Matt one of the new player marshals. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
