- Do not use adjacent driveways/neighbor property without explicit permission!
OUT-OF-GAME PRECAUTIONS
These precautions will be in effect for social gatherings, outdoor practices, or potentially outdoor character workshops. Being out-of-game allows us far more control over our personal space and mask usage, which is the more lenient of our two guidelines.
VACCINATED
- Ok to attend without masks WITH vaccination proof AND no symptoms.
- Unable to attend OR mask requirement if health concern (allergies, non-COVID symptoms, etc... case by case)
MEDICALLY UNABLE TO VACCINATE or CURRENTLY BEING VACCINATED
or UNVACCINATED (12+)
- Ok to attend only WITH well-fitting masks AND no symptoms
= NIGHT CONDITIONS =
This event will *NOT* take place during night conditions.
NOTE: The social will go into the night but we are not playing in-game, so no "night condition" rules apply.
= WEATHER CONDITIONS, PARKING, & DRIVEWAY=
- Make sure to plan to bring weather/temperature appropriate base layers.
- Always plan accordingly for bugs! Potent bug spray, coverings, etc. We normally do get ticks and mosquitos at the property and they can be pretty bad based on the time of year.
- There is ample room on the gravel pad to park 8-10 vehicles, even in rainy/muddy/snowy conditions.
- Make sure you check with Staff before driving into the parking area in case it is muddy/rutted. When in doubt, park on the pad/road and then ask for help.
== EVENT INFO: STORY & MECHANICS ==
= EVENT STORY =
This event is out-of-game and does not follow our story-line. However, we will be assembling a number of current-events story info for players to review to get caught up at the event!
= EVENT SPECIAL STUFF=
1) SWAP MEET!
We are encouraging everyone to bring their extra gear/weapons/stuff that is LARP applicable to buy/sell/trade! We will not be focusing on any kind of swap meet setup, but if players want to bring a table and setup stuff or just barter/deal out of the trunk of their vehicles that is perfectly fine. Bring real money and players can barter with their PC coin as well! Staff will be on hand to help with coin transfers.
2) GARB OPTIONAL BUT REWARDED
Garb is optional for this event; players may attend in modern clothing if they so wish.
However, we are rewarding players who show up in decorum-approved garb!
Any players who show up in FULL decorum-passing garb will be given an additional giveaway ticket (July event giveaway only) at Check-In!
3) 10 YEAR CELEBRATION CEREMONY & STORY-TIME
We will be doing a 10 year celebration ceremony at 11am. There will be a speech, fun facts about Last Hope LARP, and some special announcements.
We will also have special "10 Year Swag" for sale and for the giveaway!
There is also a group "Story-time" at 1pm. Feel free to write-up or prep your favorite Last Hope LARP story/experience moments and bring them with you to share!
4) GIVEAWAYS
We are planning on doing a TON of giveaways! This will be broken up into 2 different giveaways
PANDEMIC MEMBERSHIPS - This giveaway will be made up of all of the people who purchased memberships during the pandemic. Standard and Basic memberships will get 1 entry into the giveaway, Premium will get 2. We will be "rolling randomly" to determine winners. Players do not need to be present to win in this giveaway.
10 YEAR CELEBRATION EVENT - This giveaway will focus on players attending the event in-person in July. We will be using giveaway tickets for this event; you either must be present to win or coordinate someone handling your giveaway ticket(s) for you if you leave early.
5) POTENTIAL COMBAT PRACTICE/TRAINING
While there is no official practice time planned for, some players have shown interest in doing some sparring/practice stuff at the 10 Year Celebration. Feel free to bring weapons, shields, and maybe a change of garb to fight if you want.
6) NON-DECORUM EVENT
Players are not required to follow decorum rules for this event; modern tables, chairs, etc is perfectly fine.
7) OPEN SOCIAL
Since this entire event focuses on socializing as a LARP community, this is a great chance to come and hang out, share stories, and see each other after over a year of shutdown due to the pandemic. There will be socializing all day, technically, but there is nothing planned/organized after 3pm. We will definitely be hanging out/partying well into the night so feel free to bring a tent to camp in or make nearby accommodations if you want to stay late. It's already spelled out in our rules but we're drawing special attention to it; alcohol and tobacco can/will be consumed at this event and ALL participants must be of legal age AND monitor themselves so they are not belligerent or leaving the property under the influence. Staff will be monitoring this as well.
