WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR NPC SHIFT

about

Your “casting” or NPC shift is when you will come to what we call NPC Ops to play the non-player characters that the “PCs” (or “player characters”) interact with. There may be combat, social, or more likely, a mix of the two.

You will get a chance to step into many different roles and explore the world in a way you may not be able to do as a player character.

GUIDES

Your guides are there to help you navigate the world on an OOG (or Out of Game) level, and often on an IG (or In Game) level as well. They run the post office, where you will see a lot of the logistical parts of game, as well as the NPC shifts. When out of game, your guides will be seen wearing green headbands.

The Guides who will be assisting you with your NPC shift are as follows:

  • Ops Guide. Your Ops Guide is the person who organizes the NPC shift. They will decide what modules will go out and what the stats of each NPC are. They will explain everything to you prior to sending you out into the field, and help you pick your costuming and weapons.

  • Rules Guide. Your Rules Guide is, as the title suggests, the person who oversees the mod once it enters the play space to assist with rules calls on the field. More often than not, they will assist the Ops Guide with explaining stats and skills as well as with weapons. Should a question arise while you are playing an NPC and have left the ops building, your Rules Guide is your go-to person.

We ask that you come to your NPC shift wearing dark clothing with no logos. Further genre costuming will be provided, as will any weapons and makeup.

While the game is often very physically active, we also try to be understanding of medical issues. Player safety is more important than any other aspect of game, and we are willing to work with you to figure out how to make the game enjoyable and safe.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us prior to game!
