Hello, i am new to Larp but not rp, i am not new to sword fighting, and have limited fight training, and plenty of causal experience dueling, i live in the us so i would be going to empire irregularly, any halls that would welcome me, i would love to hear about them. Thank you
If you are a Wintermarker, then I invite you to come and have a look round my hall, were called Wyvern’s Watch we’re a group of beast slayers. Like most Wintermark halls we tend to recruit people in the field after we’ve met them in person, that way you can be sure that we’re the hall you really want to join and so you don’t have any regrets. We have four non-UK based members already, so irregular attendance is not a problem for us. If you’re attending E4 we shouldn’t be hard to find as we’ll be speaking at the moot. If it’s next year your attending, then just ask around for Wyvern’s Watch or my character Osfrid.
Whilst we’re not fussed about people having spectacular hard skills. We would definitely be interested in seeing you if you have combat experience as our Thane has some considerable military ambitions. A small note for combat is that people in the Empire system tend to prefer a theatrical style of combat over a fenceing, quick touch style, not everyone though and it isn’t enforced. There is a one-second damage rule however you might want to be aware of if you fight quick touch. See more info about it at: https://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire-wiki/Combat
We will have an IC area set up where people can come over and have a chat it’s very open (don’t worry about crashing anything or being awkward just come over), you can come and speak to us and chill in our area you don’t have to join, were just trying to be accessible to new players.
It goes without saying that if you get there and feel daunted or lost at empire I’m making it part of my characters goals as a stormcrow to guide those who are “new to anvil”, whether it be finding that person you want to speak to, getting involved with those people or just a bit of general info. There are also the egregors who are PD’s official versions of the above, though they can sometimes be hard to find because they have a busy job.
One thing to note about Wintermark is after the moot on Friday we all sometimes look very busy and unapproachable however that’s usually just because everyone is excited around time in, were all actually really friendly, my advice is just go up to people and talk about what you want to talk about. One thing I would recommend is to read the winds of war and fortune, thoroughly, for the event, you’re attending and perhaps the ones from before the event you’re attending. These tend to be what dominates most the convo at an event, and if you hear people talking about something you missed then ask them to explain.
Hope this helps, if you want any more info then just give me a PM.
Thank you for your response i will indeed look into what you have said. And would love to hear more about the hall and ita leadership, it wouldnt be till next year that i would have the money to go so i will do what i can to learn what i can before my arrival
If you like I can PM you some more info?
That would be great yeah
Recruiting hard there chazzabroo! Hope the next event goes well with all your new friends, and if you’d like a spot of practise while on the Anvil Tour, remember the Dawn Glory Square is available 
It’s all up to them but it doesn’t hurt to get the name and the game out there.
Sounds like my kind of people, i would be very interested in meeting you all. Though that wouldn’t be till sometime in 2019 because of money constraints, being from the US and all.
Would like to offer our group to you! We cant reach the event this year but would love to grow! Direct message or reply to this if you are interested! We offer a fun and interesting rp along with great chemistry and tactical Brilliance!
