Registration
We will open GOD for event registration at 12:00 Noon on Friday. It is likely that GOD will open on Thursday evening for a couple of hours for pack collection only if we are well ahead with our preparation . We will put up a sign outside GOD as soon as it is open. Once you have pitched your tent then come to GOD to collect your event pack. Your event pack will contain your character passport, your character's money, phys-reps for resources you have, ribbons for any special items and cards for mana crystals, liao and herbs.
IC Photographs
We will have a member of the GOD team taking photographs of characters in their costume.
Your picture should be of you wearing your costume and kit and any make-up or prosthetics that are appropriate.
Weapons Check
Bring your weapons to the weapon check point at the tip of the Wintermark camp near to the Sentinel Gate to get them checked by a Profound Decisions weapons checker before use. There will be a large grey banner on the tent to identify it. The best time to get your weapon checked is Friday day before the event starts where possible.
If you are taking part in the battles then your weapons will need checking before each battle. The first time you get your weapon checked we will put a coloured rubber band coded for the event on it. On Saturday any weapon that isn't banded will be checked before it can be taken on the battlefield. On Sunday we will check all weapons before they go on the battlefield.
Any weapon that fails a safety check will be tagged with a weapon-fail cable-tie and must be put stowed in an OOC area (or at GOD if you don't have access to any OOC area) until the end of the event.
Telephone
For appropriate use only, our on-site mobile number is 07817 133793. This will be manned by Profound Decisions event team on the run up to the event, and held by our security team throughout the event. If you need to get hold of Profound Decisions to report an emergency then you can call this number.
