Campground, Cabins, & Amenities

Our events take place over weekends, and run for 2 - 3 days, continuously. 

This means that we do not have designated "sleep hours" where the game is temporarily stopped. 

That being said, everyone sleeps, and our volunteers need sleep in order to keep the event running smoothly!

We estimate that many of our plot team members & NPCs are asleep between 2 am - 9 am,  although some will go to bed earlier or sleep in. 

This does not mean nothing will ever happen between those hours, as there is often late night shenanigans between Player Characters (PCs) and Non-Player Characters (NPCs) or the exceptional late night adventure.

Player Cabins & Tents are considered IN-Game (IG) locations, and thus IG events may occur within spaces. 

This does not mean people who are not residing with you will be coming in and out of your cabin at all hours, as we have rules in place regarding Cabin entry. 

We can't say the same for your bunk mates though 😉 you'll have to discuss that with them. 

See Below for PC Cabin entry rules, IG vs. OOG locations, and a detailed Event scheduale which may help Newer Players with what to expect!

Cabins, Tents, & Other Sleeping Areas are considered IN-Game (IG), and IG events may occur within spaces. Thus, IG measures should be taken to prevent any unwanted intruders, or burglars. This being said, players & staff members should announce themselves or knock before entering so that anyone inside may announce that entering at this time would be inappropriate (i.e. Someone is changing).

•  At times, IG players may wish to enter unnoticed, such as in a case of theivery, they  inform a thievery marshal, who will scope out the space & determine whether anyone is inside, prior to entering. Marshals will be as subtle as possible about why they are scoping out a cabin to avoid unintentional metagaming/In-Game suspicion.
• Players who are planning to enter a cabin/sleeping area that does not belong to them, must be accompanied either by someone residing there or by a thievery marshal. If you are planning to steal/thievery this person must be a marshal. This is to ensure that OOG items are not stolen/disturbed, and that it is appropriate to enter.

While our event may run continuously, we don't expect you to be In-character 24/7. 

We do ask that you help us maintain an immersive atmosphere by refraining from OOG Conversation in in-game areas or by spending time in a private or OOG locations when you're not In-character. Bathrooms, NPC camp, and vehicles will always be OOG spaces, as well as a few other designated areas. A full list of OOG locations can be found on our rules page or by following the link below.

As PC Cabins/Sleeping areas are both IN-Game As well as private, they pose a but of a grey area at times.

If you are OOG while in your sleeping area, you should make this clear to others in the same space and either refrain from OOG conversations or speak in a quiet voice to other OOG players. This is to help maintain an immersive atmosphere around players who are IG and avoid confusion as to whether a conversation being overheard is IG or OOG.

Friday:

 Setup & Player Arrival begins ~6pm

• Players may begin arriving once a staff member is on-site to unlock and inspect the buildings. 

Check in begins ~7 - 8pm

• Check in will be set up in the office, located to the left of the main entrance to the dinner hall ("The Inn")
• This is where you will receive your character sheet, production, pay for the event, and anything else you might need for the event.

Friday Evening Snack is typically served between 8 - 10 pm

• Food may vary event to event, but Friday night we typically have a spread of finger foods. This may be something like crackers & cheese, vegetables & dip, "pigs-in-a-blanket", and other bite sized foods.

Game On is called ~ 9 or 10 pm 

• Opening ceremonies takes place in the dinner hall building ("The Inn"). 
• If we feel our players are ready early, or Game On might be delayed, we will call a "soft game on" prior to opening ceremonies, where players may engage in roleplay but not use skills. 

Saturday:

Breakfast is scheduled for 10 - 11 am but may be served a bit earlier if ready.

•  If you arrive late for breakfast or any other meal and it has been packed up, ask our kitchen volunteers or another staff member, as we always have leftovers

Lunch is scheduled for  3 - 4 pm

• Occasionally mods/adventures may run into lunch time. While we try to avoid this, it happens from time to time. 
• The kitchen volunteers will do their best to make up for plot teams lack of time-management to ensure everyone receives a warm meal. Please let our staff know if you feel you missed a meal, and we will be happy to help.

Dinner is scheduled for 8 - 9 pm

• Dinner may seem late, but our meals have been carefully planned based off player & NPCs most active hours. Many nighttime or bigger Mods/adventures happen after dinner.

Sunday (Long Events):

Meals are served at the same time as Saturday.

• During short events, Sundays scheduale will be the same as Monday below

Monday (Long event):

Breakfast at the usual 10 - 11 am 

Game Off is called between 1 - 3 pm on the last day (Sunday or Monday)

Closing ceremonies begins shortly after game off has been called. 

• Closing ceremonies is usually held inside the dinner hall, where PCs & NPCs will vote for best roleplay and costumes

Clean up is faster and less stressful on our volunteers when everyone pitches in.

When our community comes together we often have everything finished by 330 or 4 pm (With game off around 2pm) 

This is a huge difference to when 1 or 2  volunteers stayed behind alone and wouldn't be finished until 7pm.

• ALL Volunteers who help clean up the campground & communal spaces such as the dinner hall, packet collection, and bathrooms, will be rewarded with goblin points.

"Afters" or After event Lunch Reservation is usually made for 3:30 or 4pm

• After clean up, many of our players & volunteers will go to the Spitefire Arms & Pub in Windsor. 
• Everyone is invited! Although you have to buy your own meal 😉 Just let our volunteers know so we can count you for the reservation! 
• If you change your mind and want to head home, no worries! Just let someone know you won'tbe arriving, so we know your safe!
