New Player for September!

Those ears are perfectly fine.

You guys should definitely start an in-game business of selling coffee. You'll make a not-literal killing.

Speaking purely as a player and a coffee drinker, I think it would be amazing if you guys set up a late night/early morning coffee shop in game.

Hey Alice,

Those look great!

Honestly, people who play elves wear a whole range of ear lengths. I personally have gone with the shorter ears for my wood elf but there are plenty who wear longer.

Also, as for cosplay...you'll fit right in! :> A whole bunch of us get a big kick out of nerding out over sewing and costuming for our garb. I'd recommend building a costume that can be layered for the colder months where layers can be taken off for the hotter ones. If you plan on doing a lot of sneaking around white is a really poor clothing choice because it stands out like a beacon in the moonlight at the camp during the night (or maybe it's the perfect choice....)

The coffee at the inn is...well, it's very nice that they make it and I really appreciate it but if you want really ultra high quality brew you'll need to make it yourself. I wouldn't recommend going to the trouble of building a fire in one of the lands' fire pits because it can take a good long time depending on the weather and the potential for being interrupted by an NPC encounter is high. Here's what I've found to work well: Sometimes I carry a little peizoelectric camp stove with an itty bitty fuel tank and make coffee in character with my chemex and a kettle. The other option I sometimes go with is cold brewing in advance and packing it with me if I need to wake up quickly in the morning. If you would like to set up a small coffee stand in game during an event I'd be happy to talk with you or help out.

Alice,

Kat reminded me of a wonderful thing. Not long ago, someone created the "Knight Realms Costumers Forum" on Facebook, where people ask for costuming advice, commissions, post pieces they've made, share helpful videos, and a whole lot more. I strongly suggest joining the group. It might be just the thing.
