New Player for the October Event?

Hey, I just wanted to post and say hello! Provided nothing gets in the way my first event will be the October event in 2 weeks. I'm still working on getting all of my costume together but just about everything is ready to go (got kind of a scrub costume together, improvements are forthcoming when money permits). I think everything about my character is set. Got a backstory an everything! I've never really played D&D (Though i enjoy watching it on youtube haha) nor have i LARP'd before so this is entirely new to me.

I was invited by a friend (finally after years of invites I've decided to give it a shot haha) so I've got someone helping me out with the rules and such. I'm both nervous and excited to jump in. I love making cosplay props (im a total amateur) and such so i thought this would be a great way to get regular use out of some outfit pieces or just allow me to make more props and things. I bake sometimes too, so maybe you may see some cookies in the future!?

Hey Nick! My name's Conor and I am a New Player Marshal. Welcome to Knight Realms!!

Any questions feel free to post here.

See you next event!!

Hi, Nick!

Cookies or other baked goods are a great way to make friends -- or possibly make a baddie have a change of heart. Keep that in mind!

I'm Jeff, another New Player Marshal. I've been playing for a little over two years and I'm still making improvements to my costuming. It's a gradual process, so if you don't look like you walked straight out of 12th century Europe, don't worry about it. Also, if you're on Facebook, check out the "Knight Realms Costumers Forum." People ask questions, share tips and videos, etc. about garb and props. It may be right up your alley.

Back before I started, I had a similar experience. Every week for a couple months before I came to game, two of my friends would tell me stories about their adventures. Like you, I hadn't played D&D or gone to a LARP before coming here, but eventually I relented and I've been coming ever since.


We'll see you soon.

-Jeff

Hub I'm Matt, anther new player marshal. I'd you need anything just ask

Hi Nick! October will be my third event, and this is the first LARP I've been involved with (pretty much just did the NY Ren Faire before this). It's a really good time and most people are pretty patient with the noobs Nalick was the one who helped me check in my character at my first event and he's ok, I guess... Will be happy to help if I can should our paths cross!

Yea I totally get it's going to be an ongoing project to improve my costume. Being strapped for cash and not knowing if LARPing is for me, I kept kind of to the basics necessary to play my race and profession. I think i will enjoy LARPing though. Once I get to go and see some of the other outfits I will be able to improve on mine. (and when my money tree finally grows hahaha)

To comment on the cookies, I have heard my cookies are pretty good. I can't promise I can cleanse the land of evil, but i will surely try!

Thanks for all the help guys. If i have any questions I'll be sure to ask!

Hey, welcome! Always awesome to see new blood come to town. Definitely ask questions that you might have on character creation or aesthetics; the whole crew of storytellers and staff are incredible here and would love to help you on your way. And if you're struggling to get into character or become immersed immediately after arriving, don't worry, something will pull you in plenty quick! If not, just find me or one of my Tanwyn brothers (the flamboyant romani). We make it a point to help out new players on an in-game level.

Welcome to Travance, Nick!
KR's got a big soft spot carved out of their heart for new players. There's specific mods that go out for new players, and definitely keep an ear out for the Adventurer's Guild. The marshals on board'll treat you like gold.

You're so lucky.
If I could re-live a first event at KR over and over ad nauseam, you bet your stars I'd do it.
Bring socks, an imposing jacket and extra everything in case stuff gets wet.

Haha nothing says immersion like a bunch of flamboyant gypsies

They're like a colorful flock of coin-coveting parrots. You're in for a treat.

If you do bring some, I may become one of your biggest customers -- in more ways than one!

It's what we're here for.

Become a Valosian and you'll have access to cookies that can cleanse the land of evil.
