== EVENT INFO ==
Pre-registered players will be provided a meal token for each day. Only pre-registered players (PCs, NPCs, Monsters, etc) will be added to the list for food as this helps us plan ahead of time. You are expected to bring your own. Players still in possession of their meal tokens at checkout will be able to redeem them for 1 silver each.
*** The provided meal is intended as a supplement and will not be sufficient to tide you over for the entire day. Appropriate in game eating utensils will NOT be provided by the game. Plan ahead, be self sufficient, and bring your own food/water!***
Water will be available “in camp” and will be refilled each morning, but must be carried to that location using in game means once the game is started. If everyone relies exclusively on the camp’s water supply players will need to organize an expedition to carry more water to camp. Players are responsible for carrying their own water while they are out of camp, and must either use in game appropriate containers or have their modern containers discretely covered both while carrying them and while drinking.
MORKLAND SOUTH PROPERTY INFO
- There is NO running water and NO electricity in the in-game area and the out-of-game camping area. Plan accordingly!
- Garbage must be picked up and thrown away in trash cans or taken back with you, DO NOT THROW GARBAGE INTO FIRE PITS!
- Players must be respectful to the property; no peeling out or digging up ruts with vehicles.

CAMPING & BATHROOM & FIRE INFO
The location where players are camping out-of-game is the parking lot area. There will be an area available for in-game camping near the camp/game area if players want to camp in-game. Anyone setting up in-game tents MUST DO SO before game is on; you CANNOT disturb the game area by walking in and setting up your tents (unless everything is decorum approved).
There will be NO running water at this event. We will have some, but YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN DRINKING/CAMPING WATER.
We will be renting a port-a-potty for this event which will be at the out-of-game parking and camping area.
Players may use a portable camp-stove in the out-of-game camping areas but no fire pits can be used unless directly supervised by a Herald. Portable camp-stoves can be used in the in-game camping area as long as they are decorum approved or covered completely from view. Ask a Herald before using any stoves in-game.
= REGISTRATION AREA & PLAYING FIELD INFO =
- The main registration area will be at the garage near the camping / out of game area.
= NIGHT CONDITIONS =
BOTH DAYS:
Some of the event will be during Night Game conditions, so please plan accordingly!
Lanterns will NOT be provided to players so if you need light, plan ahead.
After 7:45pm, spells MUST have applicable glow bracelets and arrows MUST have yellow glow bracelets or some sort of approved glowing/light device.
*** Do not use large glowsticks on arrows or spells; they are too big and can cause injury! Use cheap glow bracelets or mini illumination sticks to attach around spells or onto arrows.***
= WEATHER CONDITIONS =
Wisconsin can have weather that changes drastically... plan accordingly!
It could be rather warm during the day and then dip down quite a bit at night. You are encouraged to bring some extra garb and layers so you can dress based on the weather. Rain will not stop the event but storms may force us to pause or end early, based on conditions. Plan accordingly!
Players should be prepared to bring bug spray.
= PLAYER CONTRACTS & TUTORIALS =
All players MUST go through a Player Contract each year.
= NPC ROLE SIGN-UP & PRE-REG/PREPAY =
There are several NPC roles available during this event. If you are interested in playing an NPC role, please contact us ahead of time to let us know... see below for options.
- The "NPC Pre-Reg/Pre-Pay Deadline" is 1 week prior to the event (by Friday, 8/11/17) and this will add you to the list to get a meal each day, as well as a more detailed or involved NPC. This gives us time to flesh out a backstory, details, and how your NPC can impact the scenario. You are also required to pay ahead of time via the pre-reg/pre-pay options AND EMAIL US to let us know what kind of NPC you prefer. The staff will then email you back your detailed NPC role before the event, usually a bit after the pre-reg deadline ends. This will also earn you 5 exp per event day instead of the standard 3 NPC exp per event day.
= PC PRE-REG / FASTER CHECK-IN / LATE PLAYERS =
- The "PC Pre-Reg/Pre-Pay Deadline" is 1 week prior to the event (by Friday, 8/11/17) and this will place you on the list to get the pre-reg meal and automatically add you to the "Faster Check-In" line, allowing you to register much quicker at the event.
- Players who miss the Pre-Reg/Pre-Pay deadline may still sign up or the "Faster Check-In" by emailing us ahead of time. (No later than Midnight, Wednesday, 8/16/17) If you have updates to your PC, DO THEM AHEAD OF TIME AND EMAIL US THE CHANGES; you cannot do skill updates and the "Faster Check-In" as we prepare your card/bag/wristband/etc early in preparation of your arrival.
If a player knows they are going to be late and they are going to arrive after registration closes, they are expected to notify the staff by emailing lasthopelarp@gmail.com to let us know. This allows us to pull the PC cards and info and prepare their items for when they arrive. Failure to do this will result in an exp penalty if a player arrives after reg closes but before the briefing, or a forced NPC role if the player arrives after the briefing. This does not mean we do not have wiggle room; all you have to do is notify us ahead of time via email so we can prepare accordingly.
= RESOURCE USAGE =
Players may have a PC/PCs use a Resource skill to make an impact on an event but only if they are planning on attending the upcoming event.
Resource Usage for this event needs to be submitted VIA EMAIL no later than midnight on 8/5/17, following our standard Faction & Resource use/actions deadline. Information gained from this Resource usage will be available at Check-In at the event; IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK FOR THAT INFO! Players should please try to make sure they are going to be in attendance before sending in their Resource usage.
= MANDATORY CHECK-OUT =
All players are required to properly check-out at every event. Make sure you plan on doing this by seeking out a Herald to turn in your PC card and relevant game props along with you and your equipment's condition.
We will be doing a Check-Out after each day so that players can turn in their items.
If you checkout as a PC, you may not "check back in" after a period of time. Once you check out as a PC, your PC is done for the event day.
There may be limitations on how and where PCs can check out at an event; ask instead of assuming if you feel like your PC would leave early, and then staff can assign you a role after that.
To ensure the safety of players, all players must check-out with the staff as normal, but this is highly important and emphasized at this event due to it being a larger property. Yes, we will be marking the game-boundaries to some degree, but we need to know when people leave the event so we don’t try to account for them later on.
== STORY INFO ==
Turning the Tables
Following the destruction of Clan Riverhead, the Mordok appeared to split into three main groups. The first has stayed in the Great Forest and continued to harass any who attempt to enter the area, the second has traveled back north and has returned to attacking Clan Whiteoak albeit from the south this time, and the third has made it’s way into the Greatwolf’s Hackles. Some unsubstantiated reports indicate that the Mordok in The Hackles are starting to alter their clothing and armor to better suit their environment, and that they have began constructing clusters of primitive lean tos (a claim which experts on the Mordok mock, stating that what has been found is the remains of a hobo shanty town). Nevertheless, rumors abound that this may be the start of a new breed of “Mountain Mordok”. Holmar Bloodmoon has offered a bounty (to be paid from his own pockets) on these Mordok, stating that the danger is too great to wait on Branthur Nightriver’s indecision. Supporters of Branthur deride Holmar’s bounty as a political stunt designed to purchas support from not only the warriors of Clan Nightriver, but also warriors from outside the Clan. Branthur loyalist insist that these Mountain Mordok will return to the swamp with the snows that will come in a few short months.
