Hello!

Hi i'm new to LARP but not RP in general, im abit anxious since it's way more different than responding to a RP on a forum where you can take your time and think of a response but im pretty excited. I just want to ask a question about druid, alchemist and scholar. how does one go about as playing one of those professions. Like for alchemist do we have to have like an actual knowledge of creating mixtures ? or as a scholar what exactly are we researching? im just abit confused :blush: :blush:

Hi Savannah,

I'm Jeremy, and one of the characters I play is a physician, which has crafting similar to an alchemist. The thing about mixtures is that the recipes are learned through the game in a manner similar to skills. For example, the recipe for Healing Salve would be known by your character or learned once through in-game means, and when you create salves you would spend the time roleplaying the creation of the salve. For some items it requires essences, but it's mainly roleplaying the process of creating a salve. A lot of alchemists carry around mortar and pestles for that, and some even build their own laboratories. It's up to you on how you would roleplay it. For scholar, you would be researching things that happen at game using your own in-game knowledge and roleplay. If you were researching vampires, you would use your own Lores, as well as other information and information from other people, to research vampires. In the end, it's all roleplaying and having fun.

I my name is Sean and I'm one of the new player marshals. It's my job to make sure you have a good time and answer any and all questions you might have.
First of all welcome! We always love new people and love answering questions.
Jermey has provided a very good, long explanation about what you can do. But to put is quickly. No as an alchemist we don't expect you to actually make something. You can role play it in many ways. There are some in game components you need to get by either finding in game or buying (with fake money) from other players.
For scholars you research multiple things like what the special monsters are and how to kill them as well as ebents that are happening in game.
All in all its all everything is made by rp.
Don't worry too much about the rp I have found that our group is really good at getting everyone into game and when your in the atmosphere of the game things just come out and it's great.
If you have anymore questions please don't hesistate to ask here or message me.

I'm a new player myself, but I'd like to extend a welcome since I'm coming from a similar background of forum-role play, but no real life experiences. If you're heading up this month, I'd be happy to start fresh with you, and if not, I'd be happy to still join you as a semi-new player

BRING LOTS OF SOCKS
all my love,
Jen F.

P.s.
there's a really cool table for scholars to RP around regarding plot research! You'll find it in the Inn

Excited to see you in Travance!
