Hi everybody,
Please find below the detailed timetable for the weekend, with important information about meal times and game start times. This information will be posted up at the event as well, but make sure you have a close read so you are aware what time thing are happening. This is especially important if you are buying food on site.
You must be present at the game muster. If you are late, your game will not wait for you. I know we’ve mostly beaten the community attitude of “larps always start late, it’s no big deal” - but just as a reminder that as usual, it doesn’t apply this weekend, we just have too much to get through, so be on time or miss out. You all proved to me in the last four years that you were capable of it, so I expect nothing less this year
Please note that arriving on site earlier than 6pm is by special arrangement only, otherwise we have too many people running around with nothing to do. Valid reasons for arriving on site before 6pm include being there to set up tents for the flagship, arriving from out of town, being a member of the Chimera organisation or catering team. If you think you have a good reason for being there before 6pm that is not on this list, email me on chimera@nzlarps.org and we’ll discuss. Thank you for your cooperation.
