Hello all, This is the Five Kingdoms Assistant GM and NPC Captain, Mario Krese. I have made this page SPECIFICALLY TO HELP YOU on what you should prepare for, as well as be bringing and what to be doing your first event! I will also have answers to the most frequently asked questions here also, so if you're a Newbie, this is YOUR page for info.

CONCEPT OF THE GAME: Okay, If you've never played a LARP before, it means Live-Action Role-Playing, in which is better described as a real life Dungeons and Dragons, or a Final Fantasy type game. The unique beauty of this is, is that you actually have-to roleplay drinking a potion, you actually have to roleplay that you have 20 different swords. The Five Kingdoms LARP brings everything of what you had dreamed to be, to have, and to do, to LIFE.

THINGS TO KNOW: There are some things to know before you start deaming the impossible. For one, you are not some sort of ultra oober-powerful being that can take out anything and take on anyone. Keep in mind your character can die very easily. Also keep in mind that you do not have ultimate knowledge that for some odd reason(-WINKWINK^_^) you know of a dragon that can bless you with ultimate powers and make you the best. In this game, just like any other one, you must EARN what you want. Please also understand that this is a game, and just like any other game, you can win- and lose. How you make your career on your Character- Noble, Scavenger, Even a wanted man- is up to you. There is such thing as good and evil in this game. WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?

BASICS: Okay, now that you have an outlook on what kind of adventure you're going to be embarking on, let's look at the basic things you're going to need to know when you're AT the event(^_^).There is many damage calls for the system. To View them all and to fully understand the fighting system, go to the Documents section on the Main Page..

MAKING A CHARACTER: Making a character is fairly easy. There is relatively VERY SIMPLE math involved, though you may want a claculator for adding big numbers. I know what you're thinking- what kind of species can I be? What about a class? And what's the world like? Well I'll be telling you all about that! Sit tight and read on!

SPECIES: There are many general types of species that you can play in Five Kingdoms. Some of them are Human, Elf, Elf of Nature, Dwarf, Dark-Dwarf, Goblin, and Orc. There are even many other types to be, even if they AREN'T in the book! All you have to do, is when you're at the event, tell them what you want to be, and the organization can work something out!

CLASSES: The Classes of Five Kingdoms are limitless, but in order to become what you want to be, you must first master the basic class that the class that YOU want branches off into. For Example, I want to be a Lancer. Well, in order to do that I need to reach level 5 Warrior first. Once I do that, I can then Quest to become a Lancer. Once I become a level 5 Lancer, I can then Quest to become my final class, a Dragoon. Now, the five basic classes are Warrior, Thief, Caster, Chemist, and Bard. What you want to become is based upon what basic class you take. Some examples would be if you want to become a wizard, then you must first be a LV.5 Caster, then a LV.5 Mage. Or, if you wanted to be a True Knight, you must first be a LV.5 Warrior, then a LV.5 Knight. The Special classes give you special skills that fit in with the game. For example, a Lancer would get Jump, and Knight might get Bash, ETC. These classes are what makes your career!

LEVELING UP AND SKILLS: At this point you're probably wondering about leveling up, and what kinds of skills you can get. Well, YES, WE DO HAVE OUR OWN LEVEL-UP TABLE FOR EVERY CLASS!!! Depending on what class you are, at every level up, you get Hit points(H.P.), Magic Points(M.P.) Even Strength, Accuracy, Concentration and Spellpower added onto your character. Not only does the leveling-up help, but the Skill Points(200/Event) that you also earn, as well as Experience Points(EXP)(400/Event). All these things help your character get stronger, have more hit points, and even do more damage!

HELP AND QUESTIONS: Okay, now that you've got the sensational idea, I'll leave you with basic questions on what you need and what to do AT the event...
