EVENT DESCRIPTION: Not long ago the Earth sighed and opened, and one-third of the settlement of New Midguard fell shrieking into darkness. Once the dust had cleared, sickness claimed many of the rest, as dark passages were revealed below.
The Glow Warrens… A legend whispered around campfires and in settlements
throughout the Hio lands. An old story, fifty years old or more.
A whisper passed from lips to ears as word spread throughout the trails…
Of wasters who had found entrances near the crater to vast tunnels full of riches
and danger… The lucky ones who made it out rich, and the many, many more
who never came back. The tunnels under the Crater, the chain of bunkers set
up in the last of the old days and entombed forever…
A legend no longer.
The Glow Warrens are real! And if they are real, then what of the hardware and losttech and survivors said to be sealed down in the darkness?
Now the corporate giant, Hall-Mart, has claimed the new entrance, purchased from the remains of New Midguard at a staggering cost. Their attempt at salvaging the Warrens has not gone well, and they are losing people at too great a rate to sustain. They have put out a call to all who would plunder the bounty of the last great vault complex built before the bombs fell…
And in the farthest darkness, in the center of a color alien to this world, something shifts and moves for the first time in decades, stretching out toward the life coming down to meet it…
We're happy to announce the first weekend event for the Wastelands Live-action game! Please read the details below, they could help you plan for this event.
Bring flashlights, liquid lights, or other forms of light. They will come in VERY HANDY. Don’t forget batteries, too.
This is an indoor game, and as such space is limited. Try to pack light, and remember that we ARE in a city, and have access to amenities that camps don’t normally provide. Furniture onsite however, is limited as well so if you wish to bring collapsible camp chairs, air mattresses, or things to spread out upon or sit upon that can be easily moved, go right ahead.
You can PC one day and NPC the next. If you plan on NPCing Saturday and PCing Sunday, then bring a blue strip of cloth, and keep it tied around one of your arms for that Saturday. This is so the game staff doesn’t talk about the wrong stuff in front of you, and spoil any potential surprises.
If you plan to NPC both game days, and are available for the evening of the 15th, feel free to come on out at 2000 for the pre-game briefing, orientation, setup, and tactics training! We will have fun and discuss ways to bring the awesome to the players!
Pacing for this one is going to be controlled, due to limited modspace. Expect to see a few delays here and there, depending upon NPC availability and area reconfiguration requirements.
Lodging is a potential issue. We will have crashspace available for resting onsite, but we’ll need to know if you want it, so email us ask. If you’re local, recommend playing through the night or sleeping in your own bed. If you’re coming from out-of-town, either make arrangements with friends in the area, or email us before the pre-registration date.
Food will be cheap and possibly low quality due to plot reasons. If you have dietary requirements, recommend bringing your own food. We'll be happy to store it in the fridge or freezer. Note that we ARE in the middle of a city, minutes away from some decent restaurants. If you don’t want to bother with our stuff, feel free to withhold donation and go out-of-game for brunch during the event.
You will be required to bring the following things, if you wish to participate;
-Eye protection of some sort. Should be tough enough to stand up to a .20 airsoft
pellet propelled at 250 fps.
-Decently thick clothes (A jacket, or a couple of shirts, or heavier. Jeans
are also a good idea, or layered pants. Also, guys will probably want athletic
protectors.)
-Any required medication or dietary needs. We don’t know just what it
takes (beyond the basics) to keep you ticking.
-Proof of Age
-Your event fee (Cash or check, please. We can't do credit cards.)
You can bring the following things, if you have them lying around and don't
mind them seeing some use;
-Spell packets.
-Melee or archery weapon phys-reps. (We're short on these for a minute, so bringing
your own is a big help.)
-Airsoft guns that fit our requirements. (See the FAQ.)
-Snacks. (We'll have some, but more can't hurt.)
-Weapons of nerf destruction. (Good for repping tasers and heavy weapons.)
Flashlights!
Game Staff will provide the following things;
-Bottled Water
-Basic Food
-Ammunition
-Airsoft guns and weapons of nerf destruction.
-Weapon phys-reps. (Limited)
-Spell packets (Limited)
REWARD:
This is a full event, with full karma gain for each game day. (And matching
rad growth). NPC's will get the standard 1.5x karma and rads.
