Introductions and Question on Prothstetics

Hello again, Joe!

Unfortunately, I only know the answers to a few of these, but I'll do my best.

Indeed they do! For my first event, I borrowed a one-handed edge from Logistics--and every other part of my costuming from friends of mine, but that's another story! Ask at Logistics before lay-on (10-ish p.m. on Friday night) and they'll let you know whether or not you're allowed to borrow a weapon, since some of the weapon types are in limited quantity and will be used by NPCs (the baddies that you may be facing off against this weekend and weekends to come!).

Third, though some-what related to the above question, do I have to have all of my starting physical reps on me at character creation this Friday? I ask primarily because I have some cloth costuming (like pouches, shirt/pants) that may not be 100% finished by Friday. Armor-wise, I am all checked out though, so since that's the only thing that provides in-game effects, I am inclined to say the answer would be "no" ...

Your intuitions are correct, Joe. Pouches do not require an item card, nor do socks, shoes, or any other article of clothing. On the other hand, weapons, plates of armor, shields, etc., those you need to have someone either make for you in-game or give to you, which will be in the form of the appropriate card.

Fifth and final question (for now at least ), I am thinking of the character working as a pathfinder so-to-speak, which raises the question, who is the point of contact regarding recruiting for the Town Guard?

That is something you will have to find out in-game, although in-game as well as out-of-game, he is a good friend of mine.

If you do come up with more questions--and don't fret if you do--post them. It's what we're here for.

First, check out this post: www.knightrealms.com/forum/Marketplace/2...lling-stuff-oog.html

What this basically boils down to is that you can sell the commodity card you get from your trade for IG money, with or without your map phys-rep attached. If you want to sell the maps (as part of a package, or just as decorations by themselves with no IG value), keep it under 10 gold IG, or else you have to sell them for real-world money.

Be aware that there is a heroic Scholar skill which also produces maps that have a very specific mechanical effect - make sure people are aware that your maps are commodities, and not these maps, and expect to answer "So are these the maps that let me find mithril?" about 50 million times

As for the Merchant's Guild, show up to Market Faire and ask around.
