Looking to Start Off as NPC

Actually, I am wrong about the bought build and that it wouldn't count as an event attended. I'm sorry about that!

As for the donations, yes, please hand-deliver them.

Okay . . . I just want to earn enough so that my first PC event can start with whatever is needed to already have druid open and get at least a couple of spells. It's mostly for RP purposes, because I want him to have learned a little druidism while off in the wilderness but I don't have any particular abilities in mind. I just want that foot in the door without having to get trained by anyone at the event.

Right, it's something that your character would already understand how to do.

Yeah. I can have him get more training from another druid for the rest with no problem. I was just wanting the RP of him already having the ability, even if (as I would have settled for if it was the only way) it was only a pure roleplay point and he just couldn't get any IG benefit until it was on his sheet.

Hi Matt, I'm John, one of the Safety Marshals here at KR and also a member of one of handful of tent-ers not in camp tents.

I took note of your restrictions and will want to chat with you in private about stuff. No need to clutter the thread.

Camping with friends who aren't NPCing for the weekend doesn't sound fun unless I'm given an NPC role in their camp, because otherwise I'd be OOG and they'd have to ignore me.

While it can be kind of beat to not be part of the IC roleplay with your crew, if you are NPCing the weekend you likely won't be there often. Trust me when I say you will be busy...

When you go to bed for the night, odds are your crew will be out and busy all over. If not, then you are the wind whispering in the air around them...

Our group has had a few faced with the same situation- and in private moments at Oh-dark-30 around our camp fire-pit, we admittedly will drop character to chat with our member should he or she be there. As our area is not in high traffic areas, we generally have no fear of harming another's immersion. If it were in such an area, then that worry becomes more important.

Bottom line though... IF non-members of your group are present, don't drop character as best you can. No one here are ogres and the overarching goal is for folks to have fun.

My friends will apparently be camping with the Blood Spirits for the foreseeable future, so I get the impression that it's a longer walk and a more involved group.

I don't mind not dropping character. It's actually an attraction for me . . . if I can join in. I don't tend to get enough of that when running my tabletop games, because I have to switch characters so much or drop them entirely in order to explain things.

Either way, feel free to chat privately about the safety stuff.
