Directors Announcements for August! Arrival Time 5:30 PM! This is the last event the Day Camp will be there this year. Please do not arrive on the camp prior to 5:30 pm. The day camp is in right now and so we have to wait before they leave before anyone drives into camp. Please go directly to check in behind logistics, where we will sign you in as quickly as possible. Vaccination Cards We will be introducing a full Vaccination requirement for this event. What comes next is very important. All attending individuals will need to provide proof of full Vaccination (2 weeks post full dosage) at check in. For verification purposes we will need to see your physical Vaccination card or a high quality copy of each side of your Vaccination card. We will not be accepting photos for verification purposes. A discreet record will be kept for future events so you only need to bring your card or a copy of your card once. You can read the full announcement here: Covid Statement August 2021
Check In Check in will start at 5:30 PM Make sure to, as stated in the Vaccination Cards header, have either your physical Vaccination card or a high quality copy of each side of your Vaccination card ready for check-in. If you would like to make the process go quicker, please download and print the Covid Waiver form from the last few pages of that link.
New Cards
If you are a new player or returning player who needs help getting your character card set in the new system, members of card team will be available during check-in to assist you.
They will be located at the tables outside of the barn, or inside the inn at the bar if it is raining.
Soft Lay-ON
We will be continuing the Soft Lay-On system this month.
After you have completed Check-In, you may RP with others and train skills, but no PvP/Combat is permitted until after the Hard Lay-On is called.
A hard Lay-ON will be with gathered announcements will be done after the player training.
Player Training
At 9:20 PM on Friday, we are going to request everyone make their way to the Inn.
We’ll be going over some basics for combat rules/safety reminders as well as any changes.
As most of us have not been around each other in a LARP combat setting in over a year, and our own rules have changed, we are strongly encouraging everybody to be there.
There will be a printout with a handful of guidelines that will be distributed at check-in and made available.
LayOn/Opening Announcements
This will be happening after Player Training, at around 10 PM.
New Player Training
Full training will be held at 7:30PM inside/outside the barn (pending weather).
If you have never been to a live game before, attend!
Saturday Dinner
There is no feast being done this month.
To accommodate time for everybody to take a break for food, for those who do not know, 6PM-8PM is usually the ‘downtime’ for Feast and this is when you should plan to eat uninterrupted Saturday night!
Weapons Check
If it is your first time bringing a new weapon to Knight Realms, please get it checked by a Logistics Marshal or Rules Marshal. If you are unsure of who those are, please ask the check-in marshal and they can direct you to somebody for approval.
Item Rewrites
We won’t be doing them this month.
If an item existed in both the old system and the new one, you are free to continue using it.
We understand that this might hurt those who have stockpiled, however we’re still in Alpha and don’t want to put people through more rewrites than necessary.
Materials can be used for their rank, regardless of if they exist in the current rules, for the usual crafting/Summoning bonuses if you wish to use them. We’d recommend holding onto Mithril.
Armor Values
Instead of rewriting every armor card, we are requesting that, if you are comfortable doing so, you update your own armor values. If you have trouble, please reach out to either a Rules Marshal or the Rules Team and they will be able to assist.
Lyrian’s Supplies You can find Nick H after 8 PM on Friday and before Lay-On, OR at any time they are at logistics to collect your items. Artifacts As we’re still in Alpha, new Artifact cards will be on hold at least until we get to the Beta release. When the items are finally supplied to the player, their expiration dates will be extended as needed so do not worry about missing out! If an existing artifact card expired during COVID, you will have the time prorated. This will need to be signed off. If your artifact has an ability that no longer exists, please provide Nick or Marcella (during August) with the item card so it may be updated and signed off.The expiration will be put on hold until it is updated! Households You may continue working on establishing Households however you may not spend any points. This system is currently on hold but we want people to submit Houses if they have been waiting.
Kitchen
The kitchen remains generally off limits.
No cooking of personal foods and drinks will be permitted with the Kitchen range or oven.
Use of the fridge, microwave, and sinks is still permitted.
No half used, and open food items will be allowed to be put back in the fridge.
If it hits your lips, you have to finish it or trash it.
Any and all kitchen related questions can be directed to Byron Qua.
