Hello Knight Realms Family!

Hi there to this wonderful community!

I'm a new player coming this weekend for the May event with a few friends. I'm a long time LARPer, but first time Knight Realms-er.
I was hoping to find a description of legal and safe boffer arrow construction. I have a few already and building some more, but I'd like to double check they will be ready for game play. So if there is a link or page I've missed I would be much obliged.

Also, I'm bringing a few friends who have never LARPed before, they are very excited. I have one old short sword to lend them but I was hoping to ask for the generosity of the players or staff to lend them a couple of weapons for their first event? I'm sure they will be dying to build their own when game play is over. But right now we're weaponless and running out of time.
Thanks so much and see you soon!
Best,

Becky

Hey there, welcome to the family! I have no idea how to help with your arrow issue, but I can tell you from experience that logistics can lend weaponry to your beginning friends. If not somehow, I'll be sure to bring my extra blade along.

Welcome to the Knight Realms community Becky!

We use a special type of arrow at Knight Realms and an extensive post about them can be found here: www.knightrealms.com/community/forums/St...rp-arrows.html#74757

I have several extra weapons of varying flavors: that I'd be happy to lend out if you would like.

Again welcome to the family!

Hello Becky! I'm Onca, a new player marshal. We are excited to have you and your friends join us.

In regards to weapons, at New player training on Friday, or during check in, marshals can check your weapons for safety. If you talk to logistics/marshals during check in and training we can see about lending weaponry. Just make sure they know they are responsible for returning it all at the end of the weekend.

Looking forward to meeting you!
-Onca

Hey Becky. Conor here and I'm a NPM. Gus hit the nail on the head with the arrows and as was said we test and can lend weapons to new players.

Come see me as I am also a Logistics Marshal and can check your weapons, and sign some out for you.

I'll be one of the marshals at checkin.

HI!
I'm Sean also a New Player marshal and an archer in game. If you'd like I have some extra arrows I can let you borrow as long as I can get them back. I think I only have 3 or 4 but if you'd like they are yours to use (as long as I get them back )

Thanks so much to everyone for offering up help and being so quick to come to our rescue. We can't wait to get to the camp site tonight.

Conor and Sean I'll be sure to find you ASAP to get us checked in and ready for new player training.

Also one last question, my two friends Sam and Mike who are joining me are stoked to play. But I don't really have a lot of mens costumes/armor to lend them. I've made them some pretty good last minute costumes. But if anyone has some mens items that are packed in your gear you don't really use I would owe you a huge favor.
I don't usually rely on the game to lend gear but we ran short on time.
Anything we use will be well taken care of and returned clean and safe.

Thanks again for everything and I can't wait to meet everyone!

Oh geez.

Hi Becky. At first I was unsure if that was you, but how many people use the screen name Reddlyn? Its Dave/Aramis, welcome to KR!

Oh my gosh! DAVE!!!

Tell me you'll be at the event this weekend, it would make me so excited to see you again!

Yeah a little shout out to an old friend

It was fun meeting you. Hope you come back often. If you ever need anything rangery you can always come to me.

Kit, Mike and Sam - it was fantastic meeting all of you! I really hope you had a great time, and it was good to chat both IG and OOG with you guys. Let us know how things went and we're looking forward to seeing you again, perhaps? I heard June or July tossed into the wind?

Or me for that matter. Different teaching styles means different perspectives... and sometimes that's a very good thing.

Hope it was super fun for you and your crew- I look forward to seeing all of you again!

Or me! Druids can teach rangers.

Honestly, all three of you were so wonderful. I hope to see you all again.

It was cool RPing with you. Need anything OOG or IG let me know. Hopefully see you at Week in the Life....after all you have a lot of talking with Keavy

Thanks everyone!

We had a blast this weekend, extremely awesome event. Thank you for playing with us and your generosity. As new players we certainly did not feel excluded, but needed and welcomed.
As for June, I know we would like to go but it turns out all three of us are in wedding parties so I don't think we can make it. But I know I'd love to come to July if I can.
Also I was wondering if there were any NYC car pools that regularly went to the game? I don't think we can always borrow Mike's girlfriends car :dry:

Thanks again from all of us and see you soon!

P.S. Since I may not be there in June, I'd love to do some forum and PM roleplaying in the mean time to get to know the characters and game better.

Becky,
There is a carpool request forum under 'off-topic' - post in there a few weeks, and again a week prior, to game, and someone from the area may be able to work something out with you!

If you want forum RP, feel free to either make a post on the forums to start something, participate in a posting that other people have (these you can only do if your character has the skill "Literacy") or add a bunch of people on FB and request RP there!

Hope to see you all in July.

Hey Becky and crew,
My name is Gene, I play the mountain of a man fastest fist fighter in all travail Slightly Sane Billliamm. It was awesome rping with you. I hope to you guys in the future. Private message me if you guys need anything.

-Gene Stern

Hi Becky! I play the handsome dwarf in the picture to the left, pretty sure you were sick of me by the end of the weekend. Name is Renny hit me up with questions, comments, concerns, or sweet RPs.

Hello Becky!!

I didn't get to interact with you guys much, but you were all great as far as I could tell from a distance

It will be awesome to see you guys again!

If you want to get in touch on Facebook, go for it (I was that lady who bought you guys breakfast)

-Marcella Torres

I'm with everyone else. If you want to do some RP through PMs or FB shoot me a message on either.

We live near NYC across the bridge. If you can't get a carpool ride, you can always try us.
