The afternoon was at the edge of getting hot. The between Spring and Summer. I was outside for three hours. I’m not used to coming home and feeling the warm sticky skin from heat and breeze. I need a shower to fully relax. But the back pain kicked in the last quarter hour. I just need to sit a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m nervous about tomorrow. I signed up to play Ring Game. This activity is a group of players of the Semi-Annual Ring Game (and Second Age) held in the boundaries of Governor Dodge State Park, Dodgeville, Wisconsin. Not sure if Ring Game is considered a LARP (live action role playing). Social anxiety will keep me guessing if I made the right choice to be immersed into a group of strangers. Pain will make me worried how the day will progress. I have a camp stool. Or there is also hiding in my Ford Escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought some simple clothes to serve as my costume. At the character selection lottery, I selected Rider of Rohan. I purchased several men’s henleys with laces. I have one short sleeve white and another green and a long sleeve white. I found a small hip bag with a horse image and zippers. Just the right size to hold my rule book. I ordered several knapsacks. My normal computer bag is not suitable for tramping through the park. One task tonight is to do a thorough exam of each new bag and pick which one to use. The rest will be wrapped up for return. The one item that is actually a costume piece from the middle ages is leather bracers. I have two pairs: one with laces and one with buckles. Someone said I could put a pair on my forearms and the second on my shins. Not sure yet. (Ask me why I have two sets of leather bracers! Hint: Max.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather is expected to be nice and warm. I’m advised to wear long pants and shirt due to the thistles. I love my Keen hiking boots since they are super comfortable. I’m hoping they are the right choice for a full day of crisscrossing the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been told to show up for the after game party, hosted by one of the game co-organizers. Hopefully I will not be toast by day’s end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
