New Player Joining In July

Also! Garb appropriate swimming gear (read: a set of clothes you don't mind getting wet!). It can get hot, and a stop by the Lake is just the ticket sometimes. There's no lifeguard, but you're sure to find more people willing to take a dip if you ask around. Also, often you'll find people down there anyway.

Awesome! Thanks, guys! I'm planning on bringing a tent and a cot, although I didn't think about stuff to swim in.

To be honest, any swimsuit will do. On occasion, we do have dedicated players who will go swimming in period-appropriate attire, but it's not a requirement!

I will most like being something to swim in then.

Also, I don't know who to mention this to, but I have Ehlers-danlos Syndrome, which is a connective tissue disorder that comes with chronic joint pain and some limited mobility (how much depends on the day and my personal pain levels, there are days where I can run and jump around and others where I can't get out of bed). After discussing things with my doctor, we have determined that I can safely take a combat role and physically fight with other PCs or NPCs (I don't need a green headband) provided I pace myself, but there may be instances where I need to take a short break from moving or sit down for a few minutes between NPC characters. Would that be acceptable, especially where NPCing is concerned? (It's my understanding that you go back to logicistics between NPC character deaths, is that correct?)

We take your safety quite seriously here and if you need to take a short break or sit down, it's absolutely acceptable. Sometime before the event or at it, have it added to the Medical Notes section of you character card. Also, when you go to Logistics for your NPC shift, let the Monster Marshal (the person who's in charge of sending you out as an NPC) know that you can do combat, but nothing too crazy. They should be able to accommodate you. NPC deaths and respawns are planned by the Monster Marshal on shift, but they don't typically go back to Logistics between them.

At Logistics, we'll have the names and numbers of all of our Safety Marshals who are present, on a big whiteboard. They'll all have a phone on them and if you feel like you need them, either call the number or go out of game to let someone know you need to see one of them.

Not a marshal, but to further clarify your concern: Not between deaths, but it's rare to not return to Logistics at least two or three times in your shift, depending on the role. Especially for combat roles, because we're serious when we say "Hail Hydrate."
