Earliest arrival is noon.
Check in begins at 6pm.
Lay on is at 10pm.
Lay off is Sunday at 2pm.
To help us get cleaned up after game is over in a timely manner, if you are staying either upstairs of the Inn or in the AG, your belongings must be fully packed up by noon Sunday. This doesn’t mean your things need to be removed from the space, but they should be packed and ready to go!
The inn floor is brand new. Please be exceptionally mindful of this and please take care not to be reckless and damage it. All the tables and benches have had felted feet put on so they don’t scratch the floor up either.
This event, we are running a Feast at 6pm on Saturday in the Inn! There is no additional charge for Feast. It will be prepared by Marybeth. The menu is:
*Croissants
*Fruit (V, GF)
Roasted Rosemary Potatoes (V, GF)
Roasted Garlic Carrots and Green Beans (V, GF)
*Lemon Chicken (boneless thighs)
*Éclair Cake
Parking at Logistics
At this time, the only people authorized to park in the area behind or next to logistics are with direct permission from the Director, or the Officers, Safety Lead, Weekend Event Runner, and Exalted Team. Anyone else cannot leave their cars parked in that area.
Please do not park in front of the door/garage door to the area under the barn, or you will be parked in.
Early Camp Cleanup
If you are leaving early (before lay off) and need cleanup assignments, please see the Logistics Marshals. They will be able to assign you tasks to complete. Please do not see them for early cleanup if you will still be on camp at lay-off on Sunday at 2pm, and instead come to lay-off to get your assignment.
If you would like to use setting up for Feast as your camp cleanup, please arrive at the Inn to help around 5pm. If you would like to use serving Feast as your cleanup, please arrive at the Inn just before 6. If you would like to use dishes and cleanup after Feast as your cleanup, please stick around after Feast!
Shift Changes
This event, we are trialing a change to Friday night. For NPC shift, you will have the option to choose from three overlapping NPC shifts - 10pm - 2am, midnight - 4am, and 2am - 6am. Marshals will be in logistics until 6am and content will continue to run. No other shifts will be adjusted.
Wildlife Safety and You!
The camp bear is active! Monitor where you leave and store food, do not leave food unattended in any tents, and be careful in the woods. Remember, if in doubt, you can always ask OOG “Are you a bear?” and any player will always respond “No!”
Community Announcements
Mandatory new player training is at 7:30pm, under the white tent outside the Inn. Training Should be roughly 20 minutes to go over important safety aspects of the game! We welcome you to stick around should you like a more in depth training on various mechanics. Do make sure your character card gets signed off afterwards! If you do not have your card in that moment, you are welcome to find a Community Manager afterwards.
There will be a tour mod at 11am Saturday designated for newer players to get a layout of the camp during the day and have combat tailored to you.
Safety Announcements
You will notice new Cintas medical kits in the Kitchen and Logistics, we ask ask at this time that players do not help themselves if they need something out of them. Please refer to a Safety Team Member or have a present Marshal contact the on call Team member if there is no one present. This will be a new service and we are trying to determine best practices going forward in terms of controlling inventory and access. Additionally, basic med kits will be provided to each sleeping space across camp to be handled by space managers. These kits are very basic and will be suitable for very minor things that don't necessarily require the help of a Safety Team Member. While we are not too concerned, we must state that these new professionally stocked Cintas kits mark a large investment made by the camp for the betterment of everyone using it, we ask that players respect them and utilize them appropriately.
Ticks are active again, be sure to use that bug spray and check yourself regularly. Tick removal kits will be available in all kits on camp. Safety Team Members are happy to assist in removal. If you remove a tick from yourself, try to keep it and have it tested. There are programs you can mail them to for free testing. Here is one. https://ticks.rutgers.edu/ (it's easier to check a tick before checking for lymes)
We ask that players ensure that they are eating and staying hydrated, Larping can be a rigorous activity and failure to take care of oneself during the game event can result in negative health outcomes. Players found repeatedly requiring assistance for these reasons will face a safety violation. On call will be posted in Logistics, the Kitchen, and pinned in the Marshal Discord as always.
Rules Reminders
Players are reminded that skills such as Harvest Your Soul, and Assassinate will place you into the Critical condition, and that you need to be healed by a skill that specifically heals you from critical if you are dropped by these skills.
Additionally, if you are dropped by Slay, or any similar 400 Bane attack, you are rendered Dead and must either be healed by a skill that heals someone straight from dead, or Resurrected.
Since not everyone is aware of all the rules of skills they do not have, it is on you as a healer to know what your skill does and to clarify if it does or does not work. If you are not using First Aid/Assess, clarify after you have used your skill to avoid a warning from Field Refs.
Please be mindful of how much Base damage your are sustaining, our Field Refs may ask you how much Armor and Body points you have after counting damage you sustain, and ask you to drop to Incapacitated if you have less armor/body than they counted.
If you are ever in doubt / not absolutely sure you could have sustained as much damage as you did, give the Healers the important task of rescuing you! Fair sportsmanship creates a better atmosphere for all players.
If you missed your opportunity to create a ritual page in the previous year, you may now bank a single unused ritual page creation. These rules can be found in the Ritual Page section of the General Exalted Mechanics document.
Reminders from the Atmosphere Team this month!
Please stay in character. If for some reason you need to go out of game, please do so away from other players as to not impact their immersion and gameplay. Please do not interrupt a scene for an OOG comment unless it is absolutely necessary.
Roleplay your combat and sell your blows. It makes combat more fun for everyone
Please do not openly use your phone. We get that there are times when you may need to check the time or check a rule, but please try to do these checks with your phone under a table or away from other players.
Please be mindful of your trash and OOG food containers. If they are left out, they will be thrown out/moved to the kitchen.
Rules Announcements
Field refs will be watching casting role-play. If you are not doing the required 3 secs of somatic role-play or shortening your cooldown for cooldown casting you will be given a warning. You will also lose the ability to use Somatics or cool down casting
