Donations & Contact for June

Hey Everyone!

So I am coming from Canada. Every time we come down we ensure it a tradition to bring a ton of donations. Not because we're over friendly Canadians but because we all run larps up here and totally understand the need for additional support.

That being said I don't see a list for June event just the WITL. Is there additional items needed? Is there an ongoing always list needed? Who are the story tellers for this gather?

Let me bring you the things...

Can't wait to see you all.

Ali

Always a go-to list, from the Rulebook:

Needed Donations
Knight Realms asks that plays help the game run by donating materials, services, or other help to make the game run smoother and to make it more enjoyable for everyone. There are certain things that are in more need than others, and the Staff would be especially grateful if some were donated.

The following list of items is what Knight Realms needs on a consistent basis. Service Points will be awarded for each item – the amount varies on the quality of donation and need of item(s).

Quick and easy items that we always could use

• Spell Packets (500 SP for 100 Tied Packets, 1,000 SP for 100 sewn packets)
• Headbands (White and Blue, Yellow and Red)
• Tiki-Torch Fuel
• Powdered Drink Mixes
• Boffer claws (Small Weapon and 1-Handed sizes, in pairs)
• Inexpensive, generic latex weapons for NPC use
• Glow Sticks (Bulk quantities of the larger kinds, for lighting up areas at night)

Everything on the WitL list was accounted for, if I'm not mistaken.

There was also recently a Medical Supplies drive, so I would check with Norm B (Silverbow Patriarch) via PM about that. www.knightrealms.com/forum/Announcements...-service-points.html

Otherwise, I'm sure an ST will chime in momentarily with the needed props and such for this particular event. They usually announce that pretty much week of.

Aigh. Since we are leaving a little earlier than normal sooner notification is always better. We plan to be states side Thursday and take out time coming down as it takes us about 10 + hours.

Thanks! It also seems like all the medical supplies have been claimed.

Logistics could also really use ribbon (about an inch wide, give or take) in red, yellow, green, blue, black, and especially white.

Safety pins, long shoelaces (like for knee-high boots), index cards, and makeup brushes (specifically brushes, though sponges are also always appreciated) wouldn't go amiss, either.

How much ribbon per colour... I have my sources. How big of index cards, what size safety pins? Does leather lace for shoes work?

Thanks

As much ribbon as you want to bring. They are used for Headbands, and they usually get lost, or taken during shift, or given to newer players who don't have their own.

For the white, it's not uncommon to go through two 6-meter rolls in a weekend (like these: www.joann.com/offray-7-8in-single-face-s...efv1=7%2F8''&start=1 ). The others, a single roll like that will do, as we don't go through them that quickly.

Also, leather not necessary for laces - they're not for boots (usually), but for tying & lacing up NPC costuming. Same with the safety pins, so the larger sizes are better, though a "variety pack" would be fine. We normally use 3"x5" index cards, but it doesn't need to be specifically that size.

We should really pin a post detailing all of these, as it is clear that what is in the rulebook doesn't necessarily account for all of our basic needs. That way, people like Ali, who plan to donate in bulk, always have one list to be sure of, and that we can be sure of, accounts for everything we need to run a weekend.

Add Ace bandages and ice packs to the list of always needed donations! :lol:

If I don't have ribbon but I have a ton of white fabric/ materials can I make head bands out of those?
