Reckoning 2024 is at 2950 Langnau Road, London, Kentucky, 40741
The event runs from 12:00 May 24th to 12:00 May 28th.
-
All items that enter the world of Reckoning must be approved by Staff, meaning that items must be appropriate for your chosen class and culture, and that all weapons are safe.
Our costume rules can be found here, and the specific kit guidelines can be found on the style guides.
-
Simpler is better for your first event. New players should start their search for decorum items in the following order:
Footwear, Belt, Tunic, Pants, Hood, Warm Outerwear.
This will be the starting point for your kit, everything else goes on top of these items. Having a sword or armor does you little good if you do not own decorum pants. -
Kit items for Reckoning can be purchased at a variety of sources. We recommend sellers such as Burgschneider, Fell and Fair, Calimacil, Medieval Collectibles, Epic Armory, Fake Steel (Soft Blades), AllBestStuff, Grey Company Outfitters, Folk of the Wood, Armstreet, Kult of Athena, and some Etsy shops.

-
Players cannot change their class or culture during the game. Players can change any time prior to the event, however all items will need to be resubmitted for the new culture and class.
-
All non-human characters in the world of Reckoning are NPCs, however players can volunteer to play as an Undead or a Feral Orc here.
-
We will have in and out of game camping available, and players can of course stay at a hotel off-site. You can learn more here. You can also see our recommended items checklist, that way you don’t forget anything.
Players who wish to camp in game can purchase tents from vendors like Tentsmiths or Midwest Tents.
-
The venue we are using will have food available for purchase so we recommend bringing cash if you would like to use that. Players can also bring their own food to store in their tents, we recommend non-perishable food items.
-
We strongly encourage new or first-time players to save the money on the tent and camp out-of-game. Camping In-Game can be extremely expensive due to the cost of reenactment tents. A historical decorum tent typically starts around $300, not including poles.
Reckoning has some modern style canvas tents which were approved for use and are considered 'grandfathered.' We caution you that they are not the best investment as most other high immersion events will not allow them. Those modern tents do not meet the intent of a decorum camp due to their very obvious modern design.
