Our First Return

My Brother and I had a great time last event, and are looking to stay the whole weekend this go around.

- What should we expect as far as where we will sleep. Do we need to arrange this before hand?
- Is there a bath house (Showers?)
- I thought I read somewhere that you can do a character rewrite after your first event. Should I do this at check in or is there someone I can message to have it done ahead of time
- Anything else I should know about check in on Friday?

Thanks, look forward to Friday.

We're glad to hear it!

- What should we expect as far as where we will sleep. Do we need to arrange this before hand?

There isn't a way to arrange this beforehand. Beds and bunks are first come, first serve. In the colder months (and it will be hovering around 20 degrees at night this weekend), we have extra bunks in the Barn. If you and your brother have trouble finding a bunk in either the Inn or the Barn, come find one of the New Player Marshals and we'll help you guys find a place to sleep.

- Is there a bath house (Showers?)

There are a couple bathhouses on Camp. Someone should be able to escort you to them (Baronial Guard members are required to escort you if you ask!) if need be. There are also two showers upstairs in the Inn and one downstairs, but please don't use those Saturday afternoon into the evening, because the hot water will be needed to prepare, cook, and clean up after Feast.

Any time before your character's third event, you're eligible for a rewrite. This includes your character's name, race, and profession in addition to skills. Feel free to message me on here or over Facebook and we'll get you all set.

- Anything else I should know about check in on Friday?

Bundle up!

On the shower question-

While there is three showers in the Inn, they do have a use restriction on them (as jeff mentioned)

The other three locations with a shower are as follows:
Adventurers Guild- Has one shower but its usually busy with the folks who stay there.

Kaladonia Bathhouse- This facility is only in use March to November (weather dependant) as it is not winter-capable.

Winterdark Bathhouse- This facility is open year round and is heated.

Final piece of advice- bring socks...

Seriously, this. It's easy to underestimate how cold and damp you get standing around outside. Considering bringing two pairs of nice thick socks for each day.

Are you eligible for multiple rewrites, up to the start of your third event, Jeff?

Since the rulebook states that if you have 100 or less earned build upon charavter final death/retirement you can rewrite using all of your build anyways, there is no issue with re-writing multiple times before your third event.

I will third the suggestion to bring socks. Hiking socks or wool socks should suffice. If they get wet, change them as soon as possible, please.

This I didn't know. Thanks, John!

Yep, and this is even true if you peruse your newly re-written character card for the eighth or ninth time and still want to fine-tune your character some more--we will be more than happy to oblige. I won't name any names.

Thanks everyone, what is the earliest we can show up on site?

You can show up whenever you like. That changes during the summer, when there is a day camp on the premises. Make sure you join the Knight Realms page on Facebook (if you have a Facebook) for Director's Announcements relating to that and other things.

That said, there will be things for you to help set up for this weekend's event, which should earn you some build. Show up, get settled, help out if you like. Check-in is at 7:00 p.m. and we have training sessions for new players at 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The training sessions will likely take place in the Inn. We'll show you the basics of the larp, which will come into play as a full-time NPC and when you decide to make your own character.

Not to beat a dead horse but i was told to bring socks and just kinda laughed. take what you would expect is a normal amount of socks a sane person would bring and then bring double that amount. Also, glad you had a great time last event, this one is looking like it's going to be a roller coaster ride.
