Summer Solstice 2013

Overview

We no longer send out ticket packs before a game, due to the spiralling costs of using the Royal Mail and the waste of trees and time involved in producing paper packs. This page includes everything we used to put in the packs we posted out to players in previous games.

This page currently lists all applicable details for our first ever Empire event - the Winter Solstice.

Tickets

We no longer produce tickets for our events. The gate crew have a list with every player who is booked for the event on it. They will check your name off as you arrive. If you are not sure if you are booked for the event, then you can check your booking status by logging in to your PD account or by ringing the head office.

Please make sure that you have entered your car registration number on your PD account if you are travelling by car.

If you have claimed the concessionary ticket price, please make sure that you email a copy of your proof of eligibility to the head office or bring a copy with you to the event.

Arrival Times

Players are allowed on site from 11am on Thursday 28^thMarch. There is normally an additional charge of £5 to arrive one day early but for our first event this has been waived, so there is no charge to arrive early at this first event only.

The gate will close at 10pm and will open again at 10am on Friday morning. If you are arriving after this time, there will be a number on the gate that you can call and security will open the gate to allow you in.

Time in

Empire begins at 1pm on Friday the 29^thMarch and ends at 1 am that night. On Saturday and Sunday time in begins at 10 am and ends at 1am. On Monday time in begins at 10 am and ends at 3pm.

Registration

We will open GOD for event registration as early as possible on Friday. 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 card, your character's money, phys-reps for resources and liao you have, ribbons for any special items and cards for mana crystals and herbs.

IC Photographs

We will have a member of the GOD team taking photographs of characters in their costume. You can collect your pack without getting your photo taken at the first event, but please try and get your character's photograph taken when you get a spare moment. At future events you will not be able to collect your pack until we have a picture of your character.

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 tavern to get them checked by a Profound Decisions weapons checker before use. Any weapon that fails a safety check must be returned to your car or left with GOD 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.

Site Map

The map shows the layout of the OOC camping fields and the IC area. The grey lines in the in-character field are roads that go through the camps. These roads will be laid out with fencing pins and nylon rope until the start of the event. You must not pitch your tent in the road, the red hats are under instructions to move any tents pitched in the IC roads.

The OOC camping area will be laid out in lines with fencing pins and nylon rope. Any tent you pitch should be pitched so that it is as close as humanly possible to the guide rope. If you have travelled by car, then please park your car so that it is to the side of your tent and close to the guide rope. Do not pitch your tents in the wide lane between the guide ropes, this lane must be kept free for access.

The Navarr have access to the adjacent section of woodland and may camp there if they choose.

Woods

Please note that with the exception of the Navarr camp, the adjoining woods are not part of the IC site. The woods will be in use throughout the event for battles, skirmishes and plot. You should not enter the woods unless you are instructed to do so by a referee.

GOD

Any enquiries that you have about your character, the game or the event can be dealt with at GOD. This is located in the OOC camping field, near the entrance to the IC area.

First Aid

Qualified first aid staff are available at all times via GOD. Please report any medical problems to GOD or to any member of staff with a radio.

Toilets

The main toilet blocks are marked on the map. There will be additional recirculating toilet blocks in position at the event, in the OOC camp and in the market place.
