Risk to Participants

If we are holding a DuD Event or have approved a DuD Player Event then we believe the situation is currently sufficiently low-threat enough that it is not irresponsible for us to hold a LRP event. However this does not mean that such an event is risk-free for participants - there are multiple risks to yourself, both from exposure while travelling to the event, and the risk of being exposed to an asymptomatic participant still exists even if they have done their best to test. This is a personal risk you are taking as an attendant and it is up to you to make that decision.

However we would recommend the following of all attendees;

  • We recommend that if you have not yet, make sure you are double vaccinated, you are gambling with your life if you are not.
  • We recommend you wear a mask and maintain a safe distance from people where you can.
  • We recommend you do not share drinks and drinking vessels.
  • We request that all smokers and vapers refrain from doing it anywhere near buildings or other participants, please yeet yourself to somewhere far away from others.

Arriving at the Event

While Covid-19 remains a clear and present threat all participants must present a negative test for Covid-19 regardless of their vaccination status, this must be taken within 24 hours of time in (8pm on Friday) otherwise we will ask you to take another test.

If you test positive please do not attend, we will do our best to refund you or find a place for you in another event where that is not possible - this applies to crew and refs too.

If you get an exposure notification from the NHS App prior to the event we request you follow Government guidelines and get a PCR test.

Playing the Event

We are not making masks mandatory for participants, but we are asking you to respect your fellow players space so keep to a safe distance unless invited closer where possible.

If you are uncomfortable and would prefer not to stay at a distance then you may swap your build to be more ranged-focused so you can minimise your need to be in close proximity. Engaging in combat comes with increased risks, these are risks you are taking on by attending a LARP event in a pandemic.

Where a skill says you have to be in close contact to use it, feel free to fudge a reason to be at a distance if yourself or your intended target is uncomfortable with you being close.
