Read the setting and get a good idea for the fluff, as well as the irl player culture. Don't be afraid to try different games and ditch the lame ones.

Most of all, TRY. TRY to make a believable character. TRY to dress like a real person, and not like a stereotypical larper. etc.

Shave your head, and go for an epic mustache.

>I'm looking for any kind of book of tournament armor and weapons in the middle ages.
I can suggest a few, but they are pricey and hard to get. My go-to books:

*Tournaments: Jousts, Chivalry and Pageants in the Middle Ages by Richard Barber, Juliet Barker

*The Book of Deeds of Arms and of Chivalry: by Christine de Pizan

>Foppish
>Tournament
Fops =/= regal manly men at tournament.

Can do.

I would suggest looking up various pictures of Medieval and Renn Persian.
