Survivors! The autumn events will be upon us before we know it! We have three events in relatively quick succession (September 30th, October 21st, November 4th), nesting back-to-back National events (one virtual, one in Texas). Since it’s gonna get busy, we’re announcing these changes early. We actually teased some of these changes during closing announcements at the August event, so here it is for everyone, in writing.
(1) Players can arrive at Camp Santa Maria (in Grant, Colorado) as early as 2 PM to help unload the trailer, and set up Ops and the Saloon.
(2) Players may claim bunks at 4 PM.
(3) Instead of opening announcements at 9 PM, we will be doing them at 7 PM and doing Lay On shortly after! If you show up later than 7 PM, don’t fret; we’ll have the announcements for people to read afterwards, and we will endeavor to get announcements available online prior to the event.
In the past, we’ve had briefing for all guides before opening announcements in Ops; we will be looking at doing this briefing at right after opening announcements instead (about 7:30 PM).
(4) Our amazing Kitchen guides will be offering the Friday night meal again.
(5) There will be a dinner break on Saturday from 5 PM to 6 PM; there may be SC (face NPCs) present, but no combat encounters coming from Ops during this time.
(6) On Sunday, Public Works will close at noon. However, the story will continue until 1 PM! This means that you can still use skills, spend Mind and Resolve, and engage in any mechanics that do NOT require involvement or signatures from Public Works.
(7) All players need to be off site by 3 PM, which should be a piece of cake by now, given how expert we’ve gotten at packing up the site!
We’ll be updating the relevant Facebook events and other supporting pages to reflect these changes. If you see something that’s out of date, let us know.
