An excellent intro video for Empire. Great work!
Thank You 🥹
That's a super useful vide to watch. Thanks a lot. I'm getting ready for E2 2024 so if you're still there I hopefully will see you around, though I guess I'll have to leave the Navarri forest to see your Danish posh folks!
Glad you found it useful! Hopefully see you threre!
I'm also planning to go in 2024 too with some friends, I'm going to be playing as a Brass Coast travelling performer albeit I have no clue what I'm doing lol
I'll be called Havvivah i Felitziana i Riqueza
@@keekydeeks3993 That is a perfect freeborn name! always ecstatic to hear more bards attending!
This was my first year of Empire too, I found it very overwhelming at first, I main chilled and walked around a lot and learned the Game. I personally played in League as a Bravo street fighter. E4 I started getting into the game and started enjoying it more. But starting from E1 I'll be playing Varushkan Warden aka Monster hunter !
Ah that should be a wicked awesome archetype to play! Glad you are enjoying the game!!
This is absolutely amazing you two!! Really well put together and very very informative~!!!🍃⚔
NIM AND ROOSE!! 6:11 🦴💚Thank you for featuring this photo!! Honestly my favourite piccy of my girl and Roose!
Thank you ❤️. You’re very welcome! to add that shot in as its such a good one!
It's great seeing this. brilliant summary. I smiled when i saw myself on one of the photos you used. Also, was great fighting against you during Brock's Toll!
Thank you! The Brocks Toll fights were a highlight last year!
Thank you for including my photos ^_^ Excellently made video!
You are welcome. People gave us such an amazing selection of images that we sometimes just sit and watch the slideshow!
I'm looking to do my first Empire LARP this year and this is so helpful! Thank you for sharing.
No problem! Hope to see you on the field soon!
This is a great successor to the old Mark Hulmes beginner's guide video. I'll definitely send it to people I think can be tempted to go.
Wow thanks! Marks videos are amazing and professional. Thank you for passing it along!
I've been thinking about trying out LARP for a while, and Empire is one I have been considering, so finding your video has been perfect - Thank you very much :)
You are welcome. Also, welcome to the most amazing hobby! If you come to Empire, come say hi before Time-in 🙂
I have been suggested by a friend that if I want to get into LARP to go with her to Empire and this was exactly the video I needed to get the basic idea of what to expect, thank you both :)
Welcome to LARP. You are going to love it!
A great primer to send out!
Thank you!
Thanks for the credit great video as always.
Some of our fave shots of us ❤️
Awesome video! Just found out about larping at a convention today, and it sounds awesome!!!!
Are you thinking about coming to any? We were brand new to LARP in Empire and it was amazing!
Well done! You can tell you spent a lot of time putting this together. Keep up the good work ☺️
Thank you so much!
Really fascinating, looks like fun 😻🐦
It really is! We jumped into this hobby and over a year later it is still our favourite thing!
Great video totally inspired us to have look at getting involved 👍🏻
Thank you! Hopefully see you on the field!!
Thank YOU!!!
You’re welcome ☺️
This was a really useful video, I'm planning to start larping at empire this year as a knight errant in dawn too, hopefully see you out in the field!
Welcome along! Come say hi, we are usually near the glory square!
@@2have2role will do! I'll be around there alot too, I'm starting out as a yoefolk but will be asking a house for a test by the end of the weekend from house larmalleves, spoke to the earl already and she's cool with me being part the house :D I'll be a changeling dressed in alot of purple & gold
From the various regular members I know, Empire is very much a game that you can excel at if you know people that have been attending for a long time and already have clout. Do not attend if you are a singular player or don’t have contacts. It’s a VERY clicky game.
Thanks for the comment! I would have to disagree based on our experience, As we said in the video we went to empire as our first LARP. We went in blind without knowing anyone in the community and I would say we have excelled. We also know new players that came in solo and by the 4th event have high political positions. Come give it a go!
@@2have2role Think it depends on the player and the nation. Dawn is probably the best nation for new players, just from a design point of view. The test of mettle is such a great way to get people into the game. I started on my own in League and really struggled for a long time. If you're an extrovert you'l probably be fine anywhere but introverts should probably find a group before going.
That highborn is my brother
Nice!
Hey, great video! Probably a silly question and I hope you can help. I'll be going to E1 this year and its my first time. - Do we, as the players, need to do anything in regards to prep for the character pack beyond creating the character on the PD site and getting your ticket? for example, do we need to submit our character anywhere, or is it done automatically due to one buying the ticket?
Hope you can help! and again, really helpful video :)
Hey! You just needs to go through character creation on the website, buy a ticket and show up in kit! Your character is tied to your PD account and PD number!
Are there other larps in the UK? I've only recently started looking at larping. Also what would the experience be like for someone on their own? Gf isn't interested
Yes lots! There are 3 large systems, Empire, Curious Pastimes and Lorian Trust. There are many smaller professional Larp games and local club larps. There is a FB group “UK LARP EVENTS” if you post your location/requirements people can point you to the appropriate game.
Festival LARPS could be daunting solo depending on your confidence level. Empire in particular is very welcoming to solo players, it's common to join FB groups/servers before hand to establish some connections and maybe join a group going.
@@2have2role thankyou I will look into it :)
I'm also someone looking as a solo haha my girlfriend response was more insulting than a no hahahaha 😅
Im 13 and I’ve been going to empire since I was 5 I have probably spent 30 pounds on my swords.
Legacy player!
Once you've seen Rafe; he keeps popping up everywhere.
Like a model of car you just started thinking about getting 😂
Hello there :))
So you're saying G.O.D. gives you your P.P.?
Trust the bloody dawnish to boil wintermark down to just the Steiner I'm Steiner and I'm insulted
You are only one people one nation right?
