Fees and payments
The game fee for players is 10 € and for NPC:s 5 €. Please transfer the money to Julia Fält's account, nr. 471330-222731. Write SURNAME, NAME, LARP in the message field. The deadline for payments is on Monday 18.5.2009. We won't send out the characters before we see that the payment has arrived on the account. You can of course send a mail to us (roolipelit@yahoo.com) to tell that you've paid so we know to wait and look for your money...
Preliminary timetable for the game days
Saturday:
15.30 NPC:s arrive
16.30 Players arrive
Try really hard to be at the game site at your arriving time. Inform the game masters of any delays as soon as possible. When you arrive, search up a game master for check-in.
16.45 Quick start-info, either for the whole group or divided, depending of the arrival situation.
16.45 – 19.00 Individual- and group briefing. Game masters give intime objects to characters and help together grouped characters Yksilö- ja ryhmäbrieffiit. Pj:t jakavat ingame-tavaroita asianomaisille ja saattavat tärkeitä hahmoja yhteen. Dressing up, re-reading characters, bothering game masters with questions, rehearsing drinking songs and gambling… and eating own lunch.
19.00 Common start brief, all dressed up for the game. Photographing. Game starts.
Sunday:
? 02:00 ? Game ends. Quick gathering and feedback, after which the tired may go to sleep in the “silent house”. In the main cottage deeper debriefing and afterwards free talking. Possibly sauna. NOTE: also debrief/sauna are alcohol free!
8.30 Breakfast cooks wake up
9.00 Wake Up! Breakfast.
Cleaning up, packing, going home… inform the game masters when you’re leaving.
You are of course allowed to leave the game site earlier if needed. In that case you must, however, inform that to the game master – preferably already before the game but at least half an hour before you leave. It is important that the game masters know you have left, so we don’t look for you in vain in the forest…
What to bring with you?
- Character dress and accessories. Costume, weapons, jewellery, dice, card deck, ink pen, paper… what ever your character might have and need. We’ll inform you if your character needs something extra. Dress smartly and warm both in- and off-game. You don’t need to come dressed up to the game site, there will be time for that before the game. There will be a set of relatively well water-removable Grimas face paint for the players to use before the game.
- Character papers. The game master’s won’t print out everyone’s character papers, and you will want to read them through a few times before the game… so bring them with you.
- Cutlery and dishes fitting your character (for example mug, deep plate, knife and spoon) for dinner at the inn. There are some awful plastic stuff for the forgetful…
- A working cellphone with the game master’s phone number (which you’ll receive by e-mail) so you can inform us about delays etc.
- Possibly some own lunch if the menu for the evening doesn’t look filling enough
- What you need for sleeping and sauna: sleeping bag, mattress, towel, pyjamas, teddy bear…
- Personal important stuff, for example medicines
- You may bring some advertisement for coming games and events, we try to find a well visible off-game corner for them. However, game masters won’t be too pleased off exaggerated advertising of another game during the official briefings…
A few words concerning the game site
We’ll be playing in the forest cottage of the scout tribe KFUM:s Scouter Kamraterna in Paimio, rather near Turku. In the start brief we’ll inform, which buildings and rooms are used ingame – we’ll also use parts of the surrounding forest. For those who want to go to bed early we’ll there will be a silent room in a side building, for them who want to go on with the debriefing there will be sleeping room in the main building. The house is mainly fire-heated, all water comes from a well outside. There is a dry toilet on the game site.
Food in- and offgame
In the ingame tavern a simple warm meal will be served (soup, stew or such) and we’ll try to take the allergies of the players into account when preparing it – we’ll contact possible problem-persons before the game by email. There will also be different drinks at the tavern (juices prop alcohol – the game is offgame totally alcohol free) and bread, maybe even some other small snack, depending of the final budget. Possible leftovers will hopefully be eaten up during the debrief. On Sunday there will be a simple ”porridge-and-bread” –breakfast.
The players may bring their own food to the game – on Saturday there will be time for eating before the game and also after it in the night. Also ingame-food is allowed, and many travelling characters have a good cause to have something own with them – intime food should however be packed properly (no colorful plastic-jars or juice-bottles).
Game languages
Although no other non-Finnish players than the game master Tobias have registered for the game, the game will be bilingual (Finnish/English). This suits very well the borderlands between the ”Finnish-speaking” Marland and the ”English-speaking” Taborea where the game is set. Together with the character every player will receive information about which languages his/her character speaks and understands, and whether the character can read and write. The players who know both languages in real life should take care that their monolingual characters don’t understand any discussions in the other language, and that characters that don’t know how to read understand what is said in any ingame writings.
Driving-instructions, maps and bus-connections to the gamesite
We kindly ask non-Finnish players to contact us for traveling instructions in English. DO THIS IN TIME BEFORE THE GAME, the game masters are not driving themselves, and the roads around the game site are not familiar to them either, to help a lost player by phone on the game day would be very difficult. The game site is marked with a blue square on the following map:
