Pre-Event/In Between Events
We will do our utmost to select sites to enable all players to enjoy the game as much as possible. This means that we will try to book sites with accessible camping and facilities. In circumstances where this is not possible, we will notify players*
Pre-event documentation is available in other formats, such as large font and dyslexia friendly, upon request. We will also clearly indicate what facilities are available on site with the use of a site map (if available to us) for each event.
Before an event, we will share who will be on the Game Team/Referee Team for the event, so that you can easily find them over the course of the event.
*LARP sites that are accessible, meet our needs and are cost effective continue to become a scarcer resource, we welcome suggestions from the community to explore alternative options.
At Events
All games will begin with a Player Brief. This brief aims to inform players of key information about the event, this can include but is not limited to:
- Site information (eg. location of toilets, other facilities, impact of weather on site, no go zones, etc)
- Usage of pyrotechnics, lighting, sound and other special effects
- Important in game call demonstrations
- Potential triggers
- Meal times (If event is catered)
- Who’s who of Game Team/Referees, how to identify them (including First Aiders)
We will do our best to ensure that key areas of the game are well lit, not only in the Base Camp but out in the live site at points of interest. We will also try to indicate areas that may not be accessible to all.
At any point during an event, players are welcome to ask referees for support with their accessibility needs and how these interact with the game. For example, if you are a Non-Combatant wishing to investigate an area of the live area, you are more than welcome to ask what the terrain in that area is like to see if you are able to go to it safely.
In character, we will do our utmost to test the character, not the player. All plots are written with accessibility in mind, and we always welcome feedback on how we can improve in this area.
Should you require a place to step away from the game and take a moment of peace and quiet, a referee can indicate the location of “The Nest”. This is a quiet space where you are welcome to take as much time as you need there. It is open for use throughout the course of the game.
