Oi da lot uv ya

Hey all,
My name Francis Im from philly pa and I have been fighting in another game for about 4yrs.  And myself and some of the orcs from my game are looking at coming into knights realm and giving larping a shot.  SO any help here would be welcomed, I am currently planning to sit down and give the rules a read a few times. But figured I would come on and say hello, best way to get to know folks right!

A group of orcs? That'd be pretty awesome.

Welcome to the forums! What fighting game did you play?

As for hel, lots ofhelpful people here, just tell us what you want to know 

Hey Darkwood!

we will becoming over from dagorhir.  A whole different system and style of fighting ( full contact with full strength swinging allowed).  So gonna have to bare with us hehe.  But yea a group of orcs. 

Some questions.  How hard hitting is combat? I must have missed them but what level of physical contact am I allowed? Grappling, agressive shield use ( I.E. Punching, kicking, bashing, checking?).  This is simple so when I make it out I dont fall into the fighting style I am used to.  Fighting wise are head feints legal?      I just want to make sure I am fighting up to all Knights Realms saftey standards and such.

(un)fortunately, this is not Wargames style LARPing. Aggressive full-contact is both not allowed and frowned upon - ie, while full-strength swings are technically allowed, its better to pull your swing unless you're up against someone who you know can take it. No headshots, no punching and kicking, and I believe no shield bashing.

Did I get that right? Anything to add?

Thanks I answered it myself somehow missed it the first time.  I do appericate the response.

Hi.

Most of your questions should be able to be answered on the New Players! section of the website.  There's also the online rulebook.  It's pretty lengthy and covers most everything in the game that players will need to know.

Most of the players and staff are away this weekend (the July 4th weekend) as we are having an event.  A listing of when most of our events can be found here.
