Rules

Every Event Has To

Have A Few Rules! 
 Ours are pretty simple..... 

1: Have Fun!

 

2: Get In Character and really ham it up -

try to maintain character anytime you’re in active play. It helps add to the fun and the illusion that you’re really someplace in the verse

 

3: Play nice with others. We know you will but it has to be said just in case there are any hun dans out there whose mommas didn't raise 'em to be polite-like.

 

 4: No physical contact...without permission. If you have permission then --- bless your heart..enjoy! If you slip up on 3 &4 (it can happen) fess up immediately, apologize sincerely, and move on. Don’t do it again. If a Game master (look for the tin stars) has to be called in....it won’t be pretty. 3 strikes and you’re out without a refund.

 

5: Try to work things out on your own. If you get totally confused pause the action and go find a game master - you’ll recognize them by their shiny tin stars.

 

6:Please use your common sense. Don’t run if you’re not willing to take a fall and get bruised up. If you have a weapon as part of your costume - leave it holstered unless you’re showing it to someone all civil like - you’re in the woods in South Carolina....there are most likely people wandering about in them who might be carrying real guns and be of a helpful mindset. Don’t worry about weapons in game..you will be provided with an item card to represent your gun of choice.

 

7: please don’t jump in the lake...it’s kinda icky and it might have leeches. As much fun as it is to swim..your enjoyment of the game might go down considerably if someone has to salt your backside.

 

8: Keep your deck with you at all times - dittos your in character badge, Health Coins and any weapons your character might want to use.

 

9: Dinner time, shower time, sleep time and bathroom time are sacred....feel free to talk to folks during them unless they tell you to go away and leave em be... BUT...don’t start any brawls in the dining hall or bathrooms. They’re neutral zones. If you’re

caught fighting in them...you will do dishes or scrub toilets

.

10: READ YOUR Character packs!

 

Please take the time to go over your character pack thoroughly before you put your badge on!

 

Your pack should include:

A BADGE:  that will identify you as either a townie or a spacer.

 

 

When you have your badge on you are

considered in play and may be shot at, poked etc.

  Flip it over and take a look at the back side.....note that

it says DEAD BODY.

 

If you get killed in game.......then you get to flip your badge over to the dead body

side and folks have to deal with a hundred pound plus weight. If youʼre feeling charitable walk along

with em quiet as a corpse. If youʼre feeling grumpy about being kilt....give them permission to touch you

then lay down. Then they have to figure out how to deal with a ʻdead bodyʼ

 

 

Your Packet will also include

2 sets of rules:

handy to refer back to.The rules you're reading now and a set of combat rules....read ʻem and keep them

 

Your Health Coins:



These represent how many wounds you can take before you kick the bucket.

You'll also get some

Cashy Money:

This is game currency useful for buying your meals, paying bribes, buying item cards, making prop purchases etc. There will be things for purchase using real world money as well...

Prop Purchases will be labeled.

 

And your conflict deck

This is how you'll solve disputes without actually shootin' or hittin'.

 

 

 

 

Character Creation...

You've decided that you want to come and play but aren't sure how we're going to figure out what sort of character you'd enjoy being for the weekend.

 

Well...we don't.

 

You do.

 

After all, you know yourself far better than we do so you come up with the type of verse character you want to play...then we figure out how to make it playable (no reavers please!). You provide the character background and your costuming...we do the rest! The more detailed you get with your character's background story the more fun you'll have playing him or her and the more ....ah.....strings we'll have to pull. Don't worry, you'll enjoy it!

 

We do have a simple guideline sheet that you can download and use.

If you're having trouble coming up with a concept just put your dvd's in and watch them. You could be just about any type of character you see there on your screen. So far in game we have A town Sheriff, a grumpy ol judge who's also the town undertaker and owner of the local lumber mill, there are ships captains, a bartender, some sweet natured whores, a companion, a town doctor, some hired muscle, travelers with all manner of  secret pasts and hidden agendas......and there may even be a businessman in a mighty fine hat.

 

If you have any questions please just write us.
