EVENTS

SERVICES LIST AND AVERAGE COSTS

* Anyone who has NERO International insurace will receive a $2.50 discount per game day.

++ Following 2-day events, cleanup of the campsite is necessary. This is to help maintain a good relationship with the camp and ensure its use in the future. However, we understand that people may have issues that prevent them from staying. Rather than withhold build from people who skip cleanup, we have instituted a cleanup fee. This fee must be paid during pre-reg or check in, but will be returned after a cleanup is completed.

Game Night:

Players attend a night at an in game tavern. The night is full of story-telling, game playing, eating, planning, and roleplaying. The PCs are joined by a cast of NPCs picked by the local plot staff. The event helps to spread information about the game world, plot, etc. PCs may contact specific NPCs and request that they attend for the evening, but this in no way guarantees that the NPC will. Game nights range from 6 to 8+ hours.

Character History Assistance:

Players may use the in-game knowledge contained in the players handbook to create a believable character history. The history should then be submitted to the local chapter plot council for review and approval. Many chapters respond to submissions within two weeks though 30 days is also widely used. There is no charge for assisting and reviewing character histories of our players.

Adventure (Module):

This service typically involves a 2-4 hour adventure. Many chapters offer adventures when events are not running, to keep NERO ® members interested in the game. Advance notice is usually needed for an adventure to be setup and run. Most adventures are run for 6 to 10 people though any number from one to twenty can attend, and usually have a start and a finish involving one topic. A maximum of One-Half a blanket is awarded for each Adventure.

Two-day Weekend Event:

Weekend events usually take place beginning Friday night and continue until Sunday at about noon. There are adventures to go on with puzzles and riddles to solve, large battles to participate in, and a tremendous amount of interaction with other players. Most chapters charge more if they have no advance notice, or pre-payment to attend an event. I.e. Friday to Sunday would award a maximum of 2 Experience Blankets.

Check in runs from 8 until 10:30 PM friday night. At check in, all weapons and armor suits will be evaluated for value and safety. Also all magic item tags and cantrip tome tags must be checked into game. Spot checks will take place throughout the weekend for all tagged items. Opening ceremonies starts promptly at 11 PM, with game start at the completion of opening ceremonies.

Play for a day:

This is a service directed toward our members who cannot play for an entire weekend, or prefer to play for a day, and go home at the end of the night. Contact the Chapter holding the event to see what the Play For a Day cost is.

Extended Weekend Events:
