This will be your basic survival guide to The Seventh Kingdom IGE. When you come to your first event there will be a few things you will need to have with you.
- Sleeping bag, blow-up mattress or cot.
- Pillows
- Blankets (electric blanket would be a good idea for the colder months).
- Tent (not mandatory but often a good idea), if you decide to bring a tent do not forget a tarp for underneath, hammer and spikes.
- Water– always bring more than you expect you will need!
- Food and snacks. Please have the items contained, whether in a cooler or other container to prevent attracting animals. Food is not a huge necessity since Seventh Kingdom offers meals throughout the weekend. If you are planning on not purchasing any meals, would rather eat alone, or would like something to snack on then we suggest bringing something.
- Things to prepare the food; pots, pans,charcoal, plates, cups, skewers, etc.
- Baby wipes (helps with keeping some freshness through the weekend)
- Toiletries (toilet paper, tooth brush, tooth paste, soap, shampoo, brush, body spray, contact supplies etc.)
- Trash bags (to clean up your general area)
- Camp decorations (not required but recommended to have your camp area look more in-game)
- Flash light or lantern (don’t forget batteries)
- Bug spray
- Sunscreen
- Any medications
- Money
- Appropriate clothing and all weather gear for the season:
- character costume
- any character-required items (such as gems on the face for gnomes, or glitter for twilight elves)
- pajamas
- black clothing for NPC duty
- comfortable clothing to change into for Sunday
- worn boots/sneakers for comfort and utility, preferably waterproof
- sweat shirt and sweat pants
- thermal shirt and pants (for colder months)
- gloves, scarf, hat, wool socks (for colder months)
- extra socks, some more socks, two more days worth of socks and extra underwear
- rain gear (poncho, rain jacket or just extra clothes/costumes to wear if you get wet)
This is just a basic guideline for our players. Usually as players gain experience for packing for each event they become knowledgeable in the things that they will need and things that are not necessary.
Remember, it is always better to have over packed for the game, than to have under packed.
