Our Winterdark Masquerade Ball (also known as Moresca Ball) will be held on Saturday, October 12 2024. Details of the event can be found here . We will publish any necessary details for this year closer to the actual event!

Schedule: Day Camp is using the campground during the week. Therefore earliest arrival is 5:30pm and nobody will be allowed on premises until 5:30pm on Friday. This is not negotiable. James, Steve, or an Officer will wave players onto camp from the barn entrance and post an announcement on Discord and Facebook when you are allowed on camp. Check in begins at 6pm. Lay on is at 10pm. Lay off is Sunday at 2pm. *** Mandatory New player training will be at 7:30pm Friday under the big white tent next to the Inn. If you are bringing a new player feel free to attend with them, otherwise we ask people not to interject without proper permission. An optional combat demo will take place after to help get you accustomed to the way fights work at game!  Following the same note, 11am Saturday will be a new player in game tour of the camp. Learn about the various lands and test your combat abilities out on a mod fit for your level! Weather pending of course. Remember your IG/OOG safety tools! We all enjoy spicy rp from time to time, but never feel ashamed if you need to bow out because it is a bit much. The community manager team is here for you! It is recommended that for new players npc shifts, you select the Friday night 10pm-2am shifts or the Saturday 2pm-6pm shift. These shifts will have a community manager on them to offer assistance to those in need ! Saturday 10-2 is a potential option, just note your PC will miss the new player your, however you are welcome to NPC for it! NPC Shift Volunteer Opportunity Lucian is offering 2x SP for NPC volunteers on the Saturday 2PM to 6 PM (if you want to only volunteer for one module, I ask you show up at 2:45 PM) shift and Main Mod Shift. Partial Rewards will be given to those who stay for only part of the shift or just for main mod. Players who take that shift as normal will also get bonus SP for entertaining the game in big fights in the summer. 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. Safety Announcements Temps will be in the high 80’s for a good portion of the event. We ask that players do their best to stay hydrated and take plenty of breaks. Players are always welcome to seek shelter in cooled buildings should they need it.

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. We have noticed a severe uptick in this with the new exalted rules. Please be mindful of your trash.

A tier 3+ Patreon subscription will cover ONE of these events--the player must pay for the other event, including alts, as normal. As per our website documentation, the weekday portion of the event is ten build. This does not change if the player is a Patreon subscriber. The weekend portion of the event follows standard KR event rules, and is 8 build (or 10/15 if Patreon). Week in the Life counts as two events for purposes of learning skills and prerequisites. That means, for example, if a player opens a list during the weekday, they may learn skills from it during the weekend portion. Be sure to mark on your card what section of the event a skill was learned. Exalted Announcements As stated, some lessons may occur during the week portion of Week in the Life. If you are scheduled for a lesson then you are expected to show up to your lesson sober.

Reminder players are expected to have life saving medication (rescue inhaler, epi-pen, etc.) on their person or on camp, but ideally on their person. Campfires should only be had in designated fire pits, players may also use standalone campfires, stoves, and cooking appliances but are expected to use them properly and responsibly. If there is a burn ban in effect, we will advise if there are any restrictions at the time. If you are traveling alone to deeper parts of the camp make sure you let someone know and bring a phone. Be sure to keep hydrated especially if you're drinking and use bug spray as ticks are now in full swing. People are expected to be responsible when consuming alcohol during the week portion of the event, Safety Marshals are not babysitters, if a player becomes inebriated to the point requiring our intervention there will be consequences.
