Markland, been hearin about them.  I'm gonna try and make this one; anyone else?  Think they'll allow me in garb?

[Sir Wolf]

well usually they like to be garbed up and allow public to come and see them.

http://www.larp.com/midgard/ here is the old Hastings website along with the clothing descriptions so if you want to fall in you will need to abide by.

[Sir William]

That's alot to abide by...think I'd have to alter my kit and acquire new stuff in order to pass muster.  Ah well...there's always next year, right?

[Sir Wolf]

just show up as public then ask questions and interact with them. nice group of guys. i've done hastings before but not for a while

[Sir William]

I doubt I'd enjoy myself...I'd see all of them running around in full kit and I'd just be jealous.  No, think I'll garb up and hit the RF one last time for the season...but I think it'd be cool if we all showed up at a Hastings event some day in full garb.

Its more fun when you know some of the other players...at least it is for me.
