New player(s) with some questions

Correct. Before the rules change, it was three events, but they decided to double it for the sake of player comfort.

Augmented ammo works for arquebus, crossbow and bow. I don't believe it works for thrown weapons because they don't use ammo. But you can always throw a bomb normally by using a spell packet.

Engineer is a lot of fun if you like the Rp of designing and tinkering. Its a support class so its battle use is more in status effects rather than damage. There are paragon options though that increase its damage capabilities.

I'd honestly say it comes down to what you're more interested in Rp-ing. Ranger gives you a route to casting which opens up its own niche of Rp (verbals, trying rituals etc) while playing an engineer gives you crafting and tinkering Rp.

In the end though, no matter what you choose, you can always find a caster or a crafter to assist in projects and learn from for your second list.

Ok that's nice. I guess I'll try some stuff out. My (real) arrows came in today, and the cad model is done for the screw in foam core. I think I might use pool noodle as a sheath, and then glue open cell on the tip. Should be pretty colorful and safe. I'll post a write up somewhere, as well as the files if someone wants to make there own. Cost per arrow should be 4 bucks. It's not alotta savings but it's a fun project. Edit: pending approval of the design

Feel free to post on the Crafting and Costuming Community group on Facebook if you'd like input or just to share your progress with the rest of our community.

What do I need to do before the event? Such as pre-registering? I can't seem to find it.

My friend and I have read most of the rulebook and available info on here. I can't quite workout the sleeping situation though. It's group cabins? Do we pay for our own room, or get assigned? Are the cabins Air conditioned? She's mostly concerned about changing clothes, are their changing rooms?

And it sounds like food is for sale Friday Saturday and Sunday right? How much is gluten free?

We don't do pre-registration for the event, but we also don't have an attendance cap. If you want to put in your character ahead of time to save time at check-in, go here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZcBkw...L8go479-RGA/viewform (Our regular character builder that's linked on this site is being worked on, so this is the interim solution). Otherwise, one of our new player marshals will be on hand during check-in to help create your character.

There is first-come-first-serve sleeping in the main Inn building, as well as in a side room off the Town Hall (you might hear it referred to as the barn). There are also a number of group cabins and tents scattered throughout the camp. These locations are usually managed by a specific person, though at check-in a list is available of all the unreserved bunks in those areas if the inn/town hall are all full up. You do not need to pay for a room!

Some of the cabins and inn rooms are air conditioned. There are not dedicated changing rooms, but there are bathrooms and bathhouses.

The Saturday evening feast menu is up here, and there are a lot of gluten free options: www.knightrealms.com/forum/The-Dragons-C...-menu-july-1219.html
I'm not sure what else will be on offer besides pancakes for breakfast, which are obviously not gluten free, but I'll see if someone from kitchen staff can chime in with more details here.
