EVENT SCHEDULE
Full weekend Events generally begin Friday night around 9:00 pm, and end Sunday afternoon around 3:00 pm. Mystwood is uniquely built, so that if you can only attend part of the Event, you can pay a reduced entry fee and will (most likely) not miss out on the whole story line. It is a good idea to arrive early to your first Event and let the Staff know you are attending.
EVENT BREAKDOWN
Most Mystwood Events are divided into Chronicles and Adventure Time.
Each full weekend Event is divided into Chronicles which may last one, two or three years. During Chronicle Time, things unfold quickly and are all focused on a single story. Each Chronicle is directed by a “Triad” of three Staff members. It is intended that Triads may retire after completing their Chronicle, perhaps creating their own characters, and new Triads come forward to continue the saga. Each Triad is independently responsible for their Chronicle, but together comprise the site's Staff. It is hoped that the variety of Chronicles will enable those who cannot commit to full weekends of live roleplaying to still enjoy a complete storyline.
Adventure Time, by contrast, is devoted to small scenarios not essential to any particular story, such as small group quests, role playing within the town, the practice of occupations and the pursuit of waystones.
Interpersonal role play between players can easily be performed, as there will be no major town plot.
There are several Chronicles operating at any given time at a Mystwood Chapter. This ensures that there are a several story lines for players to become involved in, and players have a good chance of seeing at least a few of them through to the end. A Chronicle may focus on roleplaying, combat, adventure, or some mixture of each.
Players may also choose to act as Non-Player Characters for one or two Chronicles, thereby enriching the game with a larger cast of characters. NPCing is free, and helps the game immensely.

FOOD
Mystwood provides little to no food for players, so if you plan to stay the whole weekend, you will want to pack a lunch or two, breakfasts, and snacks. There is often a Pot luck dinner (out of game) Saturday night. If you plan to participate PLEASE bring an item to share. See the individual Event Facebook pages for more information.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Anyone attending an overnight event should be aware that most Mystwood events take place at wilderness campgrounds- you will need your own tent, sleeping gear, food, sensible shoes, bug spray, sunscreen, and water at a minimum. Some players choose to return home during the overnight period. GEAR AND EQUIPMENT We have enough weapons and costuming to help you out for your first few events. Make sure you wear black pants and a black shirt, ideally with no logos or patterns. Wear whatever shoes you possess which are comfortable. As you progress, you will be expected to purchase your own costuming and footwear which are appropriate to the setting. RULES You should be at least somewhat familiar with the rules of Mystwood, although you do not need to memorize them by any means. If you are going to NPC, all that you need is a knowledge of the Core Rules. LIABILITY Everyone needs to sign a waiver yearly, which is available in the back of rulebook, online, and at game check-in. Those under 18 must have it signed by a parent in advance, those 18+ can sign their own at check-in. |
