New and Excited

Hello all Nick here(no character name yet will work it out),

I am a hopeful new attendee to Knight Realms I have previous experience with Amtgard and I am very excited to immerse myself in Knight Realms. I plan on attending April 15th-17 and I will 9 chances out of 10 be NPCing the whole event to get a feel for it(and to save some cash) I am very excited and would like to know any good tips for a prospective like myself.

Hey Nicholas. My name is Conor and I'm a new player marshal. Any specific questions, feel free to ask.

I'd give more advice, but at the moment I'm typing on my phone so I'll give my two cents when I get home.

I look forward to hearing your two-cents sir thank you. If I come up with any questions I shall make sure to ask in the meantime, Are NPC's that i portray during the weekend designed by me or am i filling a specific role and the roleplaying itself is up to me to bring to life?

The way weekend NPC's work is that you are given a role by the Monster Marshal on duty, and then you bring the role to life. So, at one time you may be a wolf out hunting, the next you could be a bandit, the next a spider, etc.

As to suggestions, bring a sleeping bag, and anything you would bring camping. If it's cold bring extra layers to go under your costuming.

Full time NPC's should wear black/dark colored clothes since basic costuming will be provided for them.

Many will say this one but, extra socks. The camp can get muddy(and it often rains during the events for some reason) and if you don't have waterproof boots, or even if you do, your feet may(probably will) get wet. Wet socks are miserable so bring extras.

Conner pretty much hit the nail on the head with the intro to NPC'ing, but i can't emphasize enough how many pairs of socks to bring. You are also going to want comfortable boots to wear. Don't worry about them looking period, just shoot for comfort off the bat.

If you have any questions, feel free to post away, we have a bunch of great new player marshals and rules marshals that can answer your questions.

Hi Nick! I'm Onca, another New Player Marshal, like the two above me.

I agree with both posts above, and I wanted to help dispel any uncertainty. Our Monster Marshals are very accustomed to new player NPCs and with them (and other NPCs) you'll get most, if not all, of the answers you need.

However, I also usually take on the role among the new player marshals of "New Player NPC Liaison", meaning I try to check in with you folks over the weekend, get feedback, answer questions, and generally make sure you're enjoying yourselves. Feel free to find me anytime during the event (and any other marshal, of course) if you just need someone to talk to, or have a question.

Looking forward to you joining us!
