Hey, bud!
Welcome to Knight Realms. I'm Jeff, one of the many New Player Marshals you'll run into when you come out to play.
Your character card will be ready, likely by late tonight. Either someone else will get to it or I will late tonight when I get home. I tend to check the Builder pretty obsessively.
The only thing I can recommend you bring aside from what you have listed, is socks. The Camp has the tendency to get wet and/or muddy. Hiking socks or wool/smart wool is the "smart" investment.
Tips I can offer:
Be your character, regardless of what it says on your card or how "little" damage you do. If your character is itching for a fight, get in it!
It's okay not to be Robert Downey Jr. your first go-around. Most of the players haven't had acting classes and it's perfectly fine not to be a great actor right off the bat. Know that if you fall on your behind literally or figuratively, we have your back.
As well, just make sure you have at least your first name and last initial in your forum signature!
-Jeff
