Get ready, Xadune is hosting an in-person, live event!
After over a year, we are finally hosting an in-person event. Not to say the Virtual Events weren’t awesome, but I think we are all incredibly excited to get back to what we do best: hit people with foam sticks.
COVID-19 Restrictions and Policy
We are requiring proof of full vaccination to attend this event. This means two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or one dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. There will be no exceptions to this. Failure to provide proof of vaccination will result in expulsion from site. Moreover, if you have experienced any symptoms of COVID-19 or have tested positive in the past two weeks, you will also be asked to leave.
While that sounds all scary, there is a Medical Information Form where you can upload an image of your vaccination card! The Medical Information Form will also ask you about allergies or chronic diseases that the Medic team should be aware of, should you require medical assistance on site. Everyone needs to complete a Medical Information Form prior to selecting a cabin.
Event Size and Spacing
We are limiting the event to 45 players. With our Staff and Storyteam, this will mean a maximum of 50 people on site. While the CDC does not give direct guidance on mass gathering sites, given the size of Daniel Morgan, we feel this event size will allow for proper social distancing.
For this event, we will not be allowing walk-in players. You MUST pre-register (different from pre-pay) for the event, or you will be turned away. To pre-register, you will be required to complete the Medical Information Form and upload an image of your vaccination card. There are no exceptions to this. Safety is the utmost importance.
We are asking players to chose their cabins based on their pods. No more than 8 players can be in a cabin.
Additionally, we will be blocking the road into Daniel Morgan after Opening Ceremonies. We will be closing (not locking) the gate after all Pre-registered players have arrived. this is to prohibit lost campers from wandering on site.
Symptom Screening
All players will be asked a series of questions regarding COVID-19 symptoms and exposure at Check-in, and will have their temperature checked via touchless thermometer.
Hygiene
We will have soap and paper towels available in all restrooms, and we encourage players to wash their hands regularly. Hand Sanitizer will be available at multiple locations around site. Additionally, Makeup Races will not be required to paint their hands. Moreover, we are encouraging all players to bathe during the event.
High Touch Areas
Boffers, Foam Blasters, and shared costuming (read: monster clothes) will be sanitized after every mod with sanitizing wipes and/or spray. Boffers and Foam Blasters will additionally undergo UV sanitization as an extra precautionary measure . High touch areas, such as tavern tables and mod buildings, will be sanitized regularly.
Masks
Based on CDC guidelines for vaccinated individuals, we are not requiring (but heavily encouraging) mask in general play areas.
However, all players must bring a mask. Tavern workers are required to wear a mask at all times. You may be asked to wear a mask in enclosed spaces (such as mod buildings). We will have Xadune cloth masks for sale at Check-in and a limited number of disposable masks available.
Event Timing and Changes
In an effort to ensure you get the most out of your Xadune experience, we are moving Opening Ceremonies to 9pm on Friday. This means players need to be on site, checked in, dressed, and in the Tavern at 9pm. Due to the below Safety Refresher Course, late arrivals will miss content. If you arrive late, you will not be allowed to be in play until after a Safety Refresher Course and until a group is available. This could be a while – showing up at 9:30 might put you out of play until midnight. Please plan accordingly.
Because it has been so long since we last played, we will be conducting a safety refresher course that all players are required to attend. We will go over the basics – headbands, physical roleplay, and safe boffer fighting – as well as boffer sparring to help get everyone readjusted.
