= PRE-REG FOOD & DRINKING WATER =
Pre-registered players will be provided a small meal on Sunday. 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 should plan on bringing some extra food and snacks to tide you over as no food will be provided the rest of the day. ***
We will NOT be providing feastware for the feast as the meal will be in-game; please make sure you bring feastware!
There will be some water brought in for use during the event, but players should plan to bring their own and carry it with them.
** Plan ahead, be self sufficient, and bring your own food/water! ***
= CAMPING, BATHROOMS, FIRES, WATER, & ELECTRICITY =
- There is no camping available at this event. However, the nearby Mobil gas station/hotel right next to the interstate exit (1.3 miles away from the property) has very reasonable rates for rooms. You can call them at (608) 562-6000.
- There is no bathroom available onsite for use but we will plan on bringing a Lug-A-Loo for emergencies. Please plan on driving 1.3 miles back to McDonald's/Gas Station should you need a bathroom facility.
- Campfires are allowed as long as they are PRE-APPROVED BY A HERALD and either in an above-ground firepit or dug into a below-ground firepit. We are planning on using a firepit during the event.
- There is no running water at the site; it is recommended that players bring their own drinking water.
- There is no electricity at the new land.
= REGISTRATION AREA & PLAYING FIELD INFO =
New Lisbon, WI (Sunday)

- The property boundaries to the north, east, and west are marked by GREEN flagging tape. The southern boundary is the interstate.
- There are several deer stands on the property; at this time, we ask that you do not go into any of them.
- Currently there are no bathrooms, running water, or electricity at the new land.
= NIGHT CONDITIONS =
This event will not take place during night conditions.
= WEATHER CONDITIONS =
This event is in December, so plan accordingly! We will have loaner garb for NPCs but please make sure to plan to bring extra layers to keep warm; gloves, boots, etc. Bring layers; IT WILL BE COLD ENOUGH TO NEED THEM! Temperatures will most likely be fairly cold so dress in layers!
*** Base/thermal layers do not need to fit Decorum but outer layers do... please make sure you get your garb checked! PLAN ACCORDINGLY! ***
= 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.
There are no dedicated monster roles needed for this event.
- The "NPC Sign-Up Deadline" is the same cut-off as the pre-pay deadline (by Sunday, 12/3/17) and this will add you to the list to get 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.
- The "NPC Pre-Reg/Pre-Pay Deadline" is roughly a week before the event (by Sunday, 12/3/17) and this will place you on the list to get the pre-reg meal. Even if you miss the NPC Sign-Up deadline, you can still pre-reg/pre-pay for an NPC role to get the provided meal but it may not gain you a detailed role.
= PC PRE-REG / FASTER CHECK-IN / LATE PLAYERS =
- The "PC Pre-Reg/Pre-Pay Deadline" is the week before the event (by Sunday, 12/3/17) 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. (By Wednesday, so NO LATER THAN Midnight, Tuesday, 12/5/17) 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.
We are following a stricter time-block for check-in/registration moving forward, so players will be expected to arrive on time to get registered and then attend the game briefing. If a player is going to be late and they are going to arrive after registration closes, they are expected to notify the staff by emailing the lasthopelarp@gmail.com address 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.
= EVENT SPECIAL MECHANICS =
There are none at this time.
= 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 12/5/17. 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.
== STORY INFO ==
The Grand Moot Summit
Sunday, 11am to 5pm
As news spreads like wildfire that a full and viable cure has been found to the creeping corruption, those afflicted begin traveling south to Nightriver and Newhope lands in order to be cured. It will take time to administer the cure to everyone that has fallen ill, especially with the onset of winter, so worry raises over being able to tackle this obstacle in the winter.
In Clan Ironmound territory, the Clanleader Gustav Ironmound has been adamant in being host to a Grand Moot of the ulven people. With the recent dissolution of the Watchwolves Clan into both Clan Grimward and Clan Nightriver and the unknown future of Clan Riverhead, right now stands to be a tipping point in ulven history. Fractured in proud Clans, rocked to the core by the discovery of the Lorespeaker conspiracy, and struggling with cultural identity and living alongside the survivors of Faedrun, the Ulven people have been building to this moment for quite some time. The call has been sent and it has been heard. The Grand Moot will be held at a settlement in Clan Ironmound territory and delegates from every Clan are expected to be present, even if the Clanleaders themselves cannot be.
The settlement itself will be under heavy guard and reserved to the Clanleaders and their delegations. Einar Stonefist, Warleader of Clan Ironmound, is insistent that the level of security by heightened; a summit with all of the leaders of the Ulven could be considered a ripe opportunity to some. However, the outskirts of the settlement are going to be a flurry of activity. Supplies will be coming in by wagon, patrols constantly sent out to secure the local countryside, and smaller meetings will take place before the Grand Moot. Representatives from the colonies and their outlying settlements have been given a general invite to come to the outskirts of the summit and meet with representatives of the Clans. The leaders of the Ulven people wish to know more about the perspectives of the colonists and of current events before they decide the fate of the Ulven people for years to come.
In this scenario event, players will have the chance to play major political leaders of the Ulven people or attempt to sway them to different causes for the upcoming Grand Moot, or fill in as one of the outlying settlement helpers in maintaining security and the logistics of supplies.
