I am terrible at introduction posts- so here goes nothing!
I'm Julie Anne, a bit of a Renn Faire troll in the NJ/NY area that accidentally stumbled upon KR 3 times, and finally got the chance to make it in for the new year. I have a few acquaintances from both work and the renn faire lifestyle, including Gina C and her roommate Jason, a new player David, and his partner in crime Chad. I might also know a few others, and just not realize they're members yet!
Its sort of a funny story I like to share. I was invited to an event by Chad, unsure if accidentally or on purpose back in September. Thought it was an accident, didn't know anything about it, didn't go. Then in October, my job dressed for Halloween. I was a fae, and Gina was in LARP clothes. We started talking. My friend David then went to the event in November/December, and telling me about how exciting it was and stories about it and well...I'm finally taking the jump.
I've never done anything like this before. I'm directionally challenged, and usually the outdoors and myself do not agree. Gina has been helping answer immediate questions as I stumble upon them. So far, I'm camping with David, who sets up his own tent, winter weather be damned. I've mocked up a plastic tote to look like a table with a tablecloth for all my traveling junk, and found the warmest clothes this side of Jersey. I'm always open for suggestions on how to make KR the best experience for myself and all the existing players that I get to join in the world.
So far, I'm rolling a Gypsy Healer, and yes; I have a mountain of warm socks.

Hey there! I see that you have been forewarned of the sheer necessity of nice socks. Good, you're about 5 warm steps ahead of others.
I'm May, just a random player and a huge cosplayer and gamer before I got involved. It appears that Gina and David have you well-equipped already for what the game will have in story for you, but if there's anything else you need answering and they aren't available, I'd be more than happy to lend you a hand.
The best suggestion I can give is go big. Don't go home, but do try to go big. The more you let the setting, plot, and characters take you away, the more immersed you will be and the more fun you'll have. Also, if you don't know anything on the spot, feel free to ask pretty much anyone. We'd all be happy to let you know, or direct you to someone who has the answers you need.
I look forward to seeing you at the next game!

Hi, Julie Anne! I'm Jeff and I'm a New Player Marshal at game. Happy to report that you're not alone in counting down the days. 20. Ahem. Welcome to Knight Realms!
As May said, you're off to a good start with your mountain of socks. Running for your life is an inevitability in Travance and that will involve running through puddles of water, ice, snow, slush, mud, spilled ale -- tragic, really! -- which will cause problems for your feet and the rest of you as well!
One bit of advice I can offer you, is that you shouldn't be afraid to make a mistake. Even the most seasoned players flub from time to time. You'll learn and grow as you play.
We all look forward to seeing you at the next event, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to post them here or send me a message.
With Warm Socks,
Jeff
