General

1. All GM rulings are final. Discussing rules or working to understand a ruling is permissible, but excessive arguing over a ruling takes time away from everyone getting to play. Pauses are intended for the benefit and clarity of GM’s and Players, it is not for the sake of arguing a ruling. In some cases, story can be altered as a result of a player arguing with GM’s, player characters could be taken hostage or even lose limbs. In extreme cases this can result in asking the player to sit out from play. Any issues must be taken up with GM’s at the end of the day.

2. No excessive interruptions or distractions when a GM is explaining rules, a scenario, etc. Penalties are possible at GM’s discretion.

3. Any players who wear glasses will be asked to remove their glasses before combat. Depending on the Role Play, the game may be paused in order for Glasses to be collected by GM. Under no circumstances can players wear glasses during combat for the sake of safety.

4. No using other player’s weapons or gear without the other player’s permission in any circumstance. This can be asking every time, a general understanding beforehand, etc. Both players need to be on the same page about it though, so communicate well. Penalties are possible at GM’s discretion.

5. “Pause” can be called by any player to pause play, and GM will follow suit. All players are to stop play to listen.

6. “Play” will called by GM when game is resuming. GM will issue it when the “Pause” is resolved and after the GM sees all players’ thumbs up in the air.

7. Be on time to better serve everyone LARPing. This allows for more hands to set up, more time to play, and more time to hang out in community. If you can’t make the time posted, let the GMs know so arrangements can be made as needed.

8. Any new gear that was not on your person at your first LARP as your character must be purchased at Merchant Point or found through the story at GM’s discretion. Let a GM know what gear you are getting for approval and to possibly save Drakes if it can be acquired through the story. These items include armor, weapons, accessories, clothing, artifacts, any item you didn’t have.
