It is almost time for the April Xadune event! We hope you are just as excited as we are.
Just a few announcements and reminders…
Keeping Up the Immersion
We are back at Daniel Morgan this event, which feels like home more than anywhere. As such, we are asking that you help us keep up the immersion as much as we work to do so for you.
Out-of-play items, such as cell phones, should be used in out-of-play areas. While we understand the need to carry around cell phones in case of emergencies, we are imploring you to not use them in in-play areas. Should you need to check your phone, simply step into your cabin, the bathroom, or head out to the parking area. Daniel Morgan gets terrible cell service anyway, so going off-site may be the best option. As always, there is a landline available in the Tavern for anyone who needs to make a phone call; simply tell the kitchen staff you need to use the phone.
First offenses will be met with a warning. Multiple offenses will be written on your character card and will receive a penalty.
Other out-of-play items should be kept in your cabin in an out-of-play area, which should be denoted on your cabin notes. Please read page 32 of the Player’s Handbook for more information on out-of-play items in your cabin.
Tags and Phys-Reps
Phys-rep; Slang or short for Physical Representation. Most often referring to a weapon or item but can also extend to your character if you (the player) are doing one thing OOP while your character is, for example, sleeping in the cabin. Weapon physreps are the actual real life items, not the tag. So if you are asked for the phys-rep of said item you need to produce the actual item. In the case of character phys-reps, it means what physical representation you left behind to show that your PC is there (i.e.: a roll of blankets and pillows obviously labeled as your sleeping PC with your equipment and so on with it). It should go without saying that all items on a character should be represented. If you are ever asked by a Staff member to display the items on you and their phys-rep and you are lacking said phys-reps the items will be stripped from you. Repeated violations of this will result in some type of punishment.

All tags must be phys repped. This is important especially for weapons. Typically a weapon tag has a month (one event) to be phys repped before the tag expires. A weapon tag would be turned in to Staff in exchange for a safety tag at that time.
Some Notes
- As you may be aware, we are requiring full vaccination against COVID-19, including a booster shot if eligible, for attendance to the event. We recommend, but do not require, a flu shot as well.
- It is going to be cold, with lows in the 30’s. Camp Daniel Morgan does NOT have heated buildings. Please pack layers, extra socks, hats, and whatever you need to stay warm. Space heaters WILL trip the breakers, so heat the person, not the room. Tavern will have warm drinks, as always.
- Add money to your Tavern Tab early, or bring cash. We cannot accept credit cards on site.
Volunteer Sign Up Policies
Remember you cannot sign-up multiple people in one slot and please read the times – do not presume the are consecutive; many time slots overlap with each other. If you sign up for time slots which overlap, one of them will be removed, and you may not get your choice of a follow-up time.
As we have with previous events this year, we would like to keep as safe as possible considering the world state. Please take your time to wipe down your weapons after combat. Remember to balance role-play with respecting people’s personal space, with trying to stay warm.
