New to knight realms

Hey guys. So this is the first time I'm LARPing, June 1 week, and I'm looking forward to it. Just wondering is there any tips you guys can give me. (Both NPCing and Creating a character) I'm thinking about NPCing for this first weekend.

If I really get into it I have a character in the making. As my name says I have an Sylvan elf type character in mind and he's an archer but past that can anyone give me any ideas. I'm kind of new at all of this (Making weapons, Costuming, Writing a Backstory, etc.). Is there anytime during the weekend you guys help noobs?

Any advice you guys can give would be awesome.

If you're planning on coming to the whole week, why not try finding someone between periods on Friday afternoon? It's technically going to be a hold until lay-on again that evening, so even if people are garbed up, we can talk turkey OOG, and there will likely be a few more people around who can give you advice, too.

Welcome Conor!!  Npcing is a great way to learn about the game.  In between send outs people talk at logistics.  You can ask questions then.

Look for the link labelled "New Players". Awesome stuff there.

Thanks guys. Any advice on creating a character? Like I said above the race is Sylvan Elves and he's going to be an archer. But past that I could really use some advice.

See you all this weekend!!

The only advice I think I could give would be to follow your gut and think "what would my character want".  Sometimes, the answer may surprise you (like how I didn't realize my scholar wanted to learn 13 languages in 5 events).  Personally, I'd recommend taking some type of melee weapon for when your either out of ammo or , and a good amount of body because Elves only start with 2.  Personally, I'd probably do Bow (Free with Sylvan), 1HE (3), Ranged Proficiency +1 in Bow (4 from racial), Literacy (1), 2 into Body (+4 BP),  if you are going with the 10 starting build.
