FACILITATION:
We want to facilitate for everyone as much as possible. The lovation is not universally designed.
Be specific about your needs for accommodations, especially around diet, either in the registration form or by email. Most things can be fixed if we’re just told.
Needs that have not been reported well in advance of the larp cannot be expected to be accommodated.

There will be a photographer at the LARP.
No one else is allowed to photograph in the game area.
After the larp, pictures will be shared in the closed player group for a ten day flagging.
Photos of others will not be published without explicit permission from everyone in the photo.
The photographer must be credited.

SAFETY AND SECURITY:
Magisk LARP has zero tolerance for harassment, bullying and discrimination against players. Players who display unwanted behavior will lose their place in the LARP.

Prior to the LARP, we will conduct mandatory workshops for the use of safety mechanisms, as well as escalation and descalation of conflict, and meta-technique for fighting.
Violence and gun use have certain restrictions (banging prohibited. That’s what she said)
Player safety and welfare always come first.

TRIGGERS
The larp will have play on prejudice, harassment and discrimination based on gender, nationality, social status and marital status, violence, sexual advances regardless of gender and orientation (but not sexual violence). You never want to be forced into play you’re not comfortable with, and you will always have the option to leave scenes you’re uncomfortable with. However, one must be aware that these themes are part of the game.

We will practice meta-techniques for sexual acts and violence.

The larp will have traditional gender roles, and everyone plays either female or male. However, you can choose which gender you want to play.
