View source for Getting Started

Maybe you’re new to LARP, and feeling a bit overwhelmed? Completely understandable, we remember what it was like when we first get involved! Let’s get you started. 

:*For starters, read about '''''[[The World]]''''' of the game and familiarise yourself with the setting.
:*Head over to '''''[[Making Your Character]]''''' and start planning a character. You may want to plan your character with the friends you’re planning to attend with, or with a faction in mind!
:*Then, if you haven’t already, go to '''''[[Character Creation]]''''' for the actual nuts and bolts.
:*Read about '''''[[The Factions]]''''' and decide which one is right for you. All of the factions have social media spaces, at least on Discord and Facebook; pay your new home a visit and get to know them.
:*Read '''''[[The Rules]]''''', especially the '''''[[Combat]]''''' rules, and brush up on your '''''[[Calls]]'''''. It’ll be useful to familiarise yourself with ''all'' the rules, eventually, but those sections, plus whatever sections are relevant to your character’s skills, will be enough to get you started.
:*Source yourself some costume and '''''[[LARP Weapons]]'''''. It can be daunting to get started, but some tips are listed under '''''[[Equipment and Resources#Sourcing Phys Reps|Sourcing Phys Reps]]'''''.

And then come along. Don’t worry about learning everything or feeling completely prepared; just have fun and you’ll figure the rest out. Welcome to this strange, silly, wonderful hobby!
