Fresh Faces with Emma "Chrysanta" Harvey


1. How did you learn about Realms?

I was invited by a veteran player

2. How many events have you been to?

About five or six. This is my first year.

3. Have you ever LARP’ed before? If so tell us about it? 

Yes. I did small one-shot parlor Larp's at Convolution 2015 in San Francisco. They were pre-assigned character sheets with small puzzles. Closer to a murder mystery night

4. What is your character like? Where are they from? What is their species? What is important to them? 

Chrysanta is a friendly Faun from the Fey Wilds who simply wants to make friends and learn more about the druidic arts in the Realms.


5. What do you remember most about your first event? 

The chaos of a tournament.

6. What things have helped to make you feel welcome in game? 

So many people are so friendly and willing to help you figure things out, including loyalties to nations and religious figures.

7. What parts of the game do you find most challenging?  

The combat as I can get anxious in fast-paced environments.

8. Do you have any game-related goals (as either a player or character)? 

I would like to see Chrysanta gain a title of some sort. Even if it's just from chatting to the most NPCs at events (aka "Chrysanta the Friendly") or gaining recognition from a higher power.

9. What advice would you give other new players?

Go with friends and don't be afraid to make new ones. It will broaden your view of the world around you.

10. What have you enjoyed most about the game so far? 

Dressing up and chatting with other players about their characters
