At my first KR Event...

August 2004

Corsair had just been released from his prison.
I was the worst assassin ever.  6 build to start a character sucked.
Rose and Crasis were the Lady and Lord of Drega'mire
Geoffrey was the best peasant ever.
And Smash Averin was a Real American Hero.

October 2008

I come in with a few other new players,  miss a few main plot points, and get pulled into a mod by the other newbies I came with.  My character's best friend dies within ten minutes of lay on.  I have a conversation about "fragile fragile life" with KR's favorite Vampire lord played by Judge.  I helped out on that mod with the changing creature that just would not die.  And immediately chased down one of the guys that jumped the entire group who were looting the body of the damned thing that wouldn't die, and got to know Odo and Hiro because of it  ( go honor combat down by the river at camp daddy allen).  Dropped so many times getting to main mod it wasn't funny anymore.  And stayred in house dark heart my first event, for sleeping quaters ( my friend woke up Danny twice and almost got us killed.)

May Alt Event 2009 (Only 2.5 years? Huh, its felt way longer than that)

I was a sweet, kind, good-natured bard!

My response to Insult was to throw a cup of water in Thanatos' face

Took my first (and to this point, still only) death, decided to haunt Thanatos for the rest of the night instead of seeking resurrection



And once we turned over to our normal characters...



Erim wore her hair pinned up (and dressed like a schlub)

Lethias was First Knight of Dreaga-Mire

Sir McDermitt was still Squire McDermitt

We had one fewer race than we do now: the Sylphs had not yet been freed

Seamus would never be a Belmont

People still had nice shoes (and there were a lot of bee's around)

March 2010 (people are always surprised that I haven't been around all that long).

Stacey called me Steve #2 and said Winks should make adorable goblin babies with Brik.

Winks was a very simple young goblin who just wanted to be a bartender and had no political aspirations at all. My how things change.

The only people he knew coming into town were the McKraegars.

Colin was still a squire.
Apollo was still knight protector, I think?

I think this was the explosive high-five event? Kelly?

Main mod happened in the maze, which was covered in hard packed snow and ice, to the point where there were times I could walk on top of the ice without breaking through.

Winks only had one dagger...

October 2003,
The town was being assaulted by the second drow house
Either Cinder or Draknar had just gotten roundhouse (at the time I couldnt tell the PC dark elves apart)
Phaedrus was Lord of Drega'mire
Feast was the best one to date in my memory (turkey, which lead to...)
Fell asleep on the couch (which it turns out is a bad idea) and had my only sword stolen (which was an old sword I had made back in 2000 for another larp). Got loaned a katana phys-rep to use for main mod (which taught me that I didn't know jack about making weapons, and has been the inspiration to make better and better weapons since)

and that's about all I remember...

April of 1999, at Camp Sac

I barely remember anything, I was so sleep deprived all weekend.  So badly I accidentally shot Vladimir with my nerf crossbow just before feast because he had a big furry mantle and I thought he looked like a monster in it.  Needless to say, he was unhappy.  

I was saved several times by Geoffrey Le Thresher.  

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was one of the first events with the Book of VIM and the Reaver, the Goblyn, and the Broken one.  AKA the Hunchback, the Walrus Man, and the goofy goblin mask guy  Funny how that story crept back up to me 10 years later....

I think Jon is really the only person that still comes from the people that took me for my first couple of events, but he was playing Antrim then too.

We were all super impressed by our friend having Weapon Prof +1.  

Obergon the Alchemist was not my first character, but I did suffer through 2 years as an alchemist to try and get their Promo Skill, Golem Mastery.  I never made it, but I do still have the old recipe to make a flesh golem in my stuff somewhere...
