Family Friendly Festival – Sat August 27th!

This sounds adorable. Weather depending, my boyfriend and I (who are 100% coming to the September 30th-October 2nd event) might come to this family event and just NPC for experience/to get the lay of the land at a 1 day event before we're there for a whole weekend.

Is that allowed if we haven't done a regular event yet? My brother (Seth/Kurteth on the board) did the last event, so technically we fit under the "friends and family" heading, but we don't want to take character cards or anything like that. Just NPC, have some fun, get the feel, help out, etc.

If that's cool, how far in advance do you need to know? Above you wrote to email in advance, but if we find out Friday night that we're available to do it, is that too late, or should we message at that time since NPCs are always needed?

Also, if we were planning on bringing stuff (I'm in the midst of spell packet creation and he got some red ribbon since we were told that was needed), should we bring that this time, or save it for when we're coming to PC?

Thanks for always putting up with so many questions! We just wanna get this down pat

Speaking as a Monster Marshal, we always need NPCs. We don't need any sort of advanced notice; just show up and let us know! A couple things to remember:
-Wear dark, plain clothes that you can move around it
-Drink water
-Don't forget to eat

Sasha,

NPCing before you make your first PC is definitely allowed and also encouraged! As with regular, weekend-long events, it's free to NPC. We'll give you a card to keep track of any build you earn before you make your own character.

Yes, you can bring donations to the festival and they'll write down the Service Points on your card. Also, when you come to game to PC, make sure you earn at least 400 SP per event. It'll let you double the build you earn for attending events, which helps a lot your first 10 events (you earn 4 event build your first three, 3 the next three, 2 the 3 after that, and 1 on and on and on).
