(Her number one mistake is being friends with us).
Be sure to check out all of Harker's links here: linktr.ee/HarkerRyan

"Venomed tae fuck" I don't know why that made me laugh so hard, but it did. Clearly Dylan went down because he's not wearing any armour, so he only has two global hits (She hit with the sword, then she did a draw cut, that's two hits in my book, not sure if it would actually count in Empire, but there was a second between the hits XD) I've honestly always wanted to go to a LARP like Empire, but the long (for me) distance I'd have to travel on my own, plus my own mental health issues have always held me back... maybe I'll treat myself to E3 this year as a birthday gift, maybe not. Glad you three had so much fun though.
If you can make the trip, it's well worth it!! Plenty of people from all over travel for it, and are often willing to share cars etc which might make it easier for you! Check out the discords / facebook groups for sure!
I think I know the person who took the arrow and knowing them, yeah, it was at least a bit of a bit.
Thanks so much for this, it's a really useful watch! I've been to three or four events so far but still haven't entirely found my game. I've been doing some mage stuff with our coven in WM but outside of that haven't really had much of an idea what to do to engage more. My attendance has been a bit stilted as I'm a wheelchair user so am restricted to the dry weather events. So I don't think those breaks have helped as I lose track of what I've been doing. I definitely need to take your advice and talk to people more, and find out what I *could* get involved with.
Talking to people in game is like, the closest thing to cheat codes that Empire offers haha! People are there to interact with others, it's the whole point of the game, so you don't need to feel that you're imposing yourself, you're just playing the game too, and talking to others, enriches their game just as much as yours! Hope you find your area!
@FakeSwordsLARP thank you! Definitely an excuse for a cake crawl around the different nations to try to interact with people outside of my hall. 😅
Timestamps would really elevate this
Phenomenal video. I’m going to my first event at the end of July. Looking forward to it
Enjoy! You'll have a great time! What Nation are you joining?
Great stuff. It’s always an immense amount of fun
My first ever LARP event will be Empire at E3 Cannt wait to go, also love your vodeos
Really good watch! Hope your at E2!
Poor Dylan not only got attacked and pushed out of his chair, but he had trouble getting back into the shot and then had the sun in his face.
Dylan is very happy to get the sympathy he deservers!!
I always need a comfort list.
Always a pleasure to Ward those Glades with you - the vallorn got mollywhopped!
Top tip. Go searching for House Mortére smut at e2. (if you are into that kind of thing).
This was really interesting thank you it's getting me super excited to learn and participate I'm going to my first empire at E3 but I probably won't see you as I'm in the Brass Coast but I'm planning to go visit all the nations for fun so if you ever see some called Havvivah that's me :)
The Brass Coast Camp is right next to Dawn so you never know! Looking forward to seeing you on the field!
E3 will also be my first empire but will be Navarr
@@cl5289 Enjoy!!
Sounds like a lot of fun.
This is the level of chaos we have come to expect from FSRF. And a double intro. I am a happy man.
We promised you!!
@@FakeSwordsLARP You delivered! Also more game with Glade warden renting weapons please. I need the full story of the sword saving your life!
The Harker Era has arrived to LARP!!!🏹🗡⚔️
We couldn't get rid of her if we tried I think!
Amazing
What a fantastic resource! Informative, entertaining and well produced. Thanks!
Thank you so much! This is exactly the vibe we're hoping to hit!
What makes the flowers grow?
Really great video! I was never a new player, so this is great for showing to my friends who are new to Empire, and for useful tips I can pass on!
Mines more or less the same but finding camera gadgets....
Costuming doesn’t need to be too much of a hassle, remember not everyone can sew and it’s fine to buy and commission, start with a very simple base, shirt and pants, suitable boots (you don’t need medieval boots just nothing flashy leather walking boots do fine) Then layer it, maybe a vest, maybe something else, a hat, then ACCESSORIES. This helps a lot in avoiding those awkward interactions as stated in the video, if one doesn’t notice I’m leaguish by my very leaguish kit then my many rings should tip it off
Hey, where’s my Gladewarden pdf link?
I’m attending my first event this month and using this to get some hot scoop but I can’t stop laughing 😂
Be sure to check out our 10 things you should know video too! See you on the field!
I thought the terms for capturing Mathilda Fishers banner at E4 were that she be handed over? Love the video and rundown though
Weren't most of the people living in Apulian Orcs?
Also, a spire is a bit more of an intentional community, so it's kinda got commune vibes too I think? It's not just because the people happen to be there - I think!
We can't seem to find any sort of breakdown of population, but yes there are Orcs there, who have now joined the League!
"Shit's fucked!" I feel that in my bones for E1!
And with the most recent Grendel Wind, shit is even more fucked than we knew!
Where did you get that cloth map? I need one! Great episode by the way. Entertaining and educational- who'd have thought it 🤣
Jim Made it! He'll be selling them again at E2 for the new Empire Calendar Year and updated with all of the changes as it's now a tad out of date!
Season 2! Starting off with a bang 💥love the newsreader take! 😂. Can't wait to see you both on the field soon!
Hilarious. I would definitely watch more of these if you made them 😂
The one bit of advice I've been given most often is "this is my first time at Anvil" XD I'm excited for my first time at E1 :)
It's a very useful piece of advice!!
Sonny squad
Sonny Squad!!
This was really great and informative. Went to put it on in the background and ended up sitting down and really taking it in. Thanks :)
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
All of your videos are so beneficial and enjoyable, thank you so much chaps. Please keep them coming!
Thank you so much! We've been quiet because we couldn't make e4, but we'll be back with a bang in the new year!
I would watch this as a series.
We must make more!
Excellent!
Thank you :D
good work !
Haha, You should see the shots without the vfx, the goat shoats are...very silly.
Brilliant
Cheers!
Love the subtle "the barbarians are really the good guys" note at 4:49
We stand by it.
Omg I love this meeting you e1 last year in the oc camp then seeing you around anvil
Noah! the first other player we ever met and talked to! Looking forward to seeing you again!
@@FakeSwordsLARP yea I'm looking forward to it love Ur guys DND podcasts and the vids
Unstoppable is always three hits restored, even when used immediately upon going to 0 hits.
4 of my favs on one youtube video?!? These are truly blessed times!
and the blessed times may not even be over just yet!
What a dream team 😂
Many Dreams, One Team!
Gutted you 2 are not coming to E4
We're also gutted! Roll on E1!
Never been and I've found this series to be super helpful so far 😊
Smashing video. Lots of fantastic advice
Is there anyway for people who attend alone, havnt got anybody whom also os interested but don't want to miss the fun?
Hey! Neither of us have ever attended alone, but a lot of our group have and say that they loved it! The main thing is to not be too worried about approaching people and asking questions! Most people are happy to bring new folk into their fold. Use the phrase "I'm new to Anvil" anytime you need it and you'll be fine!
Everyone in anvil is so welcoming. Speak to everyone and no matter what issues you ever have people will be willing to help you
Welcome to “ Fake starts real episodes”
can i grab the sword just to make a friend take it home and leave it with him
Do you think that he would hate it or love it?
@@FakeSwordsLARP like warm annoyance. I'm sure his wife will really appreciate it.
