We’re expecting our biggest game ever this August, and we want to make sure everyone is prepared and comfortable. To do this, we’re encouraging our players to take advantage of the warm weather and camp in tents, particularly if they can bring a genre-appropriate tent to enhance immersion.
Rules for All Tents
We have two safety rules for all tents:
You must mark all your tent-lines with high-visibility tape. We don’t want anyone tripping in the dark.
You can’t keep open containers of food in your tent. Wildlife will find you.
Other than that, we encourage you to bring your tent, within common sense. We do ask all those who are going to tent to email us at info@dystopiarisingny.com, so we can track how many tenters we have.
Non-Genre Tents
If your tent is non-genre, we’re going to ask you to tent in the wooded area between the Pavilion (which houses the Post Office and new player sleeping area) and the shower house. This will keep you relatively close to the main play area without drawing attention to your tents.
Genre Tenting
If your tent is genrefied, you may tent anywhere other than the main field (with the flagpole), the campground on the hill behind ops (which will be the Hot Zone) or the wooded area next to the Great Hall (too much of a tripping hazard). We do ask that you put your tent close to the treeline, to reduce tripping hazards.
If you have a genre tent, bring a picture of it to ops after you have it set up, and we’ll give you a special Zone of Mechanics: Secure Shelter.
SECURE SHELTER
(Zone of Mechanics)
Spend 30 minutes resting in your secure shelter to regain 5 Body.
Don’t forget to email us at info@dystopiarisingny.com if you intend to tent, so that we can get an accurate count for beds.
