			==Joining Swordcraft as a New Player==
			New players are always welcome at Swordcraft, with our new player training occuring at our weekly games, players are taught the necccessary skills and guidance from our trainers for you to get right into it and join the battle. There are a number of chapters in Australia - find the closest one to you and get involved

			As a first time player here’s what you need to know:
			* '''Provided Weapons:''' For your first night, you will be provided with a foam sword and shield.
			* '''Joining the Militia:''' You will join the new player militia, a group of new players like yourself, where you will be shown how to fight together as a team and learn the basics of swordfighting.
			* '''Combat:''' Combat is based on a hit-point system – the damage you take and deal depends on the weapon hit with and location. Your trainer will go over the rules with you on the night.
			* '''The Battle:''' You will then join the battle on one of the teams and fight to win the night!
			* '''End of Game:''' If you enjoyed the night and think LARPing is for you, then at the end of the night, you will have the opportunity to talk to some of the leaders of warbands in the community about playing with them.

			After you have completed your first week you can then approach the different warbands in the game and try each one. You may find a group that appeals to your play style or a group you wish to develop a friendship with. If you don't find a group you click with right away you can always rejoin the new player militia again to keep playing the game until you find your home in the community.

			Once you have joined a warband you will be able to chat to them about creating softkit, buying armour, creating a new character and getting ready to attend the Quest Events. Each warband has its own story and self governed rules about playing with them and they will all be more than happy to assist you with your LARP journey!

So, whether you are a seasoned player or new to LARP, the weekly battles provide an incredible experience that blends sport, storytelling, and friendship-building, all within the immersive world of Swordcraft.

	~~===Warbands===~~
	~~After your first night you should ask around and tour with different warbands until you find a warband you like and start engaging with them to create softkit and gearing yourself up for the battle.~~

	~~A warband is a group of likeminded people who:~~
	* Want to create a lasting friendship group
	* Like to fight together
	* Share a common interest in creating softkit of a particular interesting group from the Warhammer Fantasy setting

	~~Having joined a warband, you and your warband will then be split with the other warbands into two larger armies and battle it out for winning that night.~~

	We encourage you to experience multiple warbands before making a commitment, this is known as "touring". Each group has its own unique playstyle, culture, and dynamic. Some warbands may focus heavily on the combat aspect of the game, while others prioritise immersive roleplay or community bonding. The Swordcraft community is welcoming and diverse, with many groups eager to invite new members into their ranks and share in their love of the game.
