I'm glad someone is having fun with their LRP, because I've reached that point where there's less than a week to go til Maelstrom. I'm bringing two newbies along, and frankly it's all very stressful. They have some costume ideas, a vague idea on transport, no beaks to go with their

As far as I'm concerned, every character should have a hat.

Hats are good.

You can take it off to show respect, you can throw it up in the air to celebrate, you can use it as a fan when it's hot, it keeps your head drier when it's raining, it can be used to hide behind or underneath in case of emergencies, you can hide shiny things inside it, you can lend it to somebody else to try, you can give it an amusing name, you can claim it's the source of all your power. You can even roll out of somebody's tent, realise your hat fell off and then quickly reach inside to snatch it back. You can pretend it's razor sharp and throw it at people. You can stick a feather in it, a ribbon around it, hang beads from it, sew patches into it, dye it and dangle corks from the brim of it. A hat lets people know what you're like ("It's a tricorn! It must be some kind of pirate!" or, "Shit, that's a fez! Run before she gets it into her head to marry us!"), helps you pretend to be somebody else in a pinch and provides something for curious dryads to pay an unhealthy amount of attention to. It helps identify you as part of a group if worn together ("It's the 42nd Top Hat & Pistol Regiment! Run for your lives, you fools!"), especially if you attach a badge to it. It covers up the fact that you've forgotten to brush your hair. It can be a talking point. You can make up stories about how you found your hat.

All in all, hats are good.

"Shit, that's a fez! Run before she gets it into her head to marry us!"

If you have time to shout that, it's already way too late!
